girl's jacket sewing pattern - PDF sewing patterns - easy sewing patterns

 
The Little Lady Jacket
PDF sewing pattern
GIRLS sizes 6months - 8 years

Yesterday as these pictures were rolling in from the sewing pattern testers my heart was overflowing with gratitude and joy! To be able to help someone turn a piece of fabric into a wearable piece of clothing is so rewarding! I love helping women sew for themselves or the little bitties in their lives.

Here you can see our newest sewing pattern called The Little Lady Jacket sewing pattern by Seamingly Smitten. This sewing pattern will help you sew a boutique styled, long sleeved and ruffle collared jacket. for girls sizes 6months - 8 years. The raglan sleeves make this jacket quick to create and there is no gathering and insetting of the sleeves. Simply pin and sew! You can even add a pop of coordinating color as the lining. Check out this polk-a-dotted lining fabric!



Even if you have never sewn a lined piece of clothing before or a jacket, you can sew this one! Three buttons keep this jacket closed, or if you are a beginner you can use Velcro strips without having to deal with buttons or buttonholes. This sewing pattern is for every level of sewing! Start sewing today!

**Full size pattern pieces are included. They are color-coded and computer drawn. All sizes 6 months – 8 years are included in this pattern.
This sewing pattern features 48 clear photo illustrations and detailed, tutorial style instructions to help you create your very own Little Lady Jacket. There are also several HINTS throughout the pattern so you can learn extra techniques as you sew.
 
You can make it in so many fabrics and can dress it up or down: denim, wool, flannel, fleece, wool blend, linen, silk, cotton, corduroy and many more.

Here it is in a super cuddly fleece. This jacket pattern can be used to sew a simple jacket or it can be dolled up with fabric-covered buttons, appliqued shapes, animals or flowers or simply and beautifully made as is.

 
 



Turn the cuffs up to expose the jacket lining and your girl will be the talk of the town! Everyone will want one of these Little Lady Jackets that you made!




 You can stand the collar up or flip it down to show off your two fabrics.
You will definitely keep your little one warm in her Little Lady Jacket!


Enjoy sewing this jacket sewing pattern even if you are a beginner sewer! As always, I'm happy to help if you ever have any questions while you sew a Seamingly Smitten sewing pattern!

Happy Sewing!

Knight Bedroom Makeover with Castle Canopy Play Tent

 
My little boy is 4 and 1/2 and has been begging for me to redo his room. He loves watching the tv show Mike The Knight and wanted his bedroom just like Mike's bedroom. Well if you have ever seen  the show Mike the Knight lives in a castle and has some practical things - like shields on his wall, play swords hanging up, a castle canopy bed and cool colors that my son likes (lots of blue and red). But, there are also some things that could never go in my son's room - like a twirling blue slide that has a real horse at the end of it - so I had to make some slight modifications. :)
 
I had a blast redoing his room and I did have the help of a decorator who found some shields and posters online. I can sew, but I cannot for the life of me, rearrange a room and create it from scratch! I knew my son wanted it to be knight themed, but my vision of that defnitely did not look like this, so I'm glad someone with a very creative eye helped out. The bedding is from Pottery Barn, the sheets are from Target and I saved money by using his old comforter as his duvet (it's inside the duvet cover). I had the posters cut down and framed so they were the same size. The penants were found online and I've seen them in plenty of Etsy shops. But they seem real simple to make.


I love the large knight poster! You can see it when you walk down the hallway to his room.

Here's the other knight poster - they were not a set - so we had to cut them down to frame them.
My little boy LOVES playing dress up, so I hung up some very knightly costumes, hats and swords. That horse used to neigh, but then he was dropped in the bathtub. Whoops! My little Knight learned  a lesson about toys with batteries that day! But my kids love galloping around on that horse stick and they call him Finley. He absolutely belonged in this bedroom!

This treasure chest is from Hobby Lobby. It was a great find and I got it when my little boy was going through his pirate phase last year. It's huge and holds all his dress-up clothes. If you get one, make sure to use your 40% off coupon.


 
I sewed this castle canopy play tent and am so happy with how it came out!! I have seen these on Land of Nod's website, but I wanted something that had a more neutral color to it, so it was easier to make my own. Hanging it was simple! I went to the hardware store, asked for a ceiling hook with an anchor, some chain, and an S hook. You just screw the ceiling hook with anchor into the ceiling. Magically, it stays! It can hold up to 80 pounds, so even if the kids tug on it, it will be okay.

He loves his new room and his castle tent!

 He is my brave young hero, just like Mike the Knight!
And he's pretty adorable in my eyes. I love this boy!!

 Ready to rescue a fair maiden!

 Sneaking in for another peek!
It was so much fun seeing this room transform into a knightly bedroom for my little boy! The tent is a hit and my little knight goes in there to read, hide, dress up, play and pretend. This Momma is happy her little boy is so happy!
 
Happy Sewing!
