oKwik Sew's Sewing for Toddlers is one of those must have classic books.
I used the raglan jacket pattern from Kwik Sew.
I used the dinosaur applique from Martha's Favorites Applique book.
I had an off cut of sweatshirt Jersey which I had bought at the op-shop and some rainbow polar fleece.
And this is what I came up with.
I used different coloured snaps for the fastenings.
aThe dino on the back has button eyes.
I bound the sleeves and neckline with polar fleece.
I threaded some elastic through the neckline as I didn't stay stitch and it stretched out when I sewed the binding on! And as I didn't use a ribbed collar the neckline wasn't pulled in and was too large anyway.
Michael was pretty impressed!
An extra Photo just because he's so cute!
