Now that he's fifteen, D2 has become more style conscious. Not a slave of fashion. He's decided on his own thing, which I appreciate. It's not necessarily the most convenient. Non-blue jeans and V-neck shirts can be found. And it was fun to sew him this overshirt from some of Grandma O's material.
But he wanted a new jacket, too. And didn't like anything available on the department store websites. Luckily, he did like the
Forester Coat pattern from Twig + Tale.
He chose a tan suedecloth for the outside, and soft gray flannel for the lining.
And aren't these the most awesome buttons? I used Extra-Strong thread to help them stay on.
He doesn't actually wear a jacket very often, but this will be ready for him whether he's going casual . . .
or dresssing up. And it was fun to sew!
