The Gabrielle Sweatshirt- For sale (FINALLY!!)

Remember the sweatshirt  I made?

I used it for the fashion shoot as a layer pieces for fall.

Anyhoo- I got more of the fabric!!! So there are some for sale in my shop now! I only have a small number so get it while you can!

Nautical Sweatshirt

I decided to throw out all my sweatshirts. I just get too tempted every morning to put one on. Then I decide no makeup, then why not just wear sweatpants? Awww… why not just get back in bed? (Am I the only one that does that?)  It’s a vicious cycle. So I wanted to make something cute, stylish and comfortable.  Here’s what I came up with.

It’s a sweatshirt material, although much softer.

I added a kangaroo pocket with vintage gold nautical buttons…

…with a cute striped lining.

I’ve got some coming to the store soon.

Isabel turns Five

Then I got this idea from Jessica on Oh, So Happy Together.
We made big polka dots the same colors as her dress. I loved them so much I hung them back up in the girls’ room after we were done with the party.

Here was her present. Remember the piggy fabric from Harts? I just came up with a pattern and here’s how it turned out.

I made a zipper with a button at the top and lined the hood with flannel.

Here’s the inside with the hem tape detailing. She absolutely loved it!!

I added this detail to the front with a little “i” on it for her name.

The back. Originally i thought I would just buy backpack straps, but I ended up making matching ones.
