I spent the last few days creating this pattern and sewing up the first coat from it. I am so excited to say that it turned out just as I had envisioned it – and that never happens! I came to realize that it reminds me of a foggy, London morning, which then reminded me of one of my most favorite bears – Paddington. How appropriate that the first Baby Bear Bums coat would remind me of such an adorable little bear.
It seems quite contradictory to show you this warm, lovely-lined coat in the midst of such sunshine pouring through the window. However, I couldn’t resist and missed taking photos in the overcast and all-too-rare raininess of yesterday.
My daughter, I’m sure, stamps in protest to the wearing of such an item in her brilliant 18-month-old logic, “Mom, it’s 105 degrees outside!” Of course, she didn’t really say that but that is definitely what I heard. Perhaps we’ll get a snapshot or two outside over the next couple days as they are calling for rain again by the weekend!
I have yet to add the closure to the coat, but am envisioning a large red button. As you can see, the coat can be worn either way so it is just oozing with fashion options!
WOW! That is just beautiful! you are so talented! Sooo cute!
