Check the coat.
You wanna know more about the coat? You can read about it here. My Flickrstream contains many pictures and construction details. I’m happy to share any tips or advice on making one; the pattern inspiration is originally a size 6 months to 5T and good for beginners (if said beginners are cool with asking questions – the directions are quite sparse). I’m thinking about making up a smaller version in a poly fleece. So if you’ve got a size in the toddler region, and an initial, I can make the test garment up FOR YOUUUUUUUU

We had a walk today out at Bowerman Basin, as we’ve done many times before. On the way we got talking about survivalist strategies which of course (because we’re weird) soon got to cannibalism and whose body would be most practical to consume. It was all fun and games and laughs until:
Nels’ eyes fill with tears and his cheeks flush. “Mama isn’t even one pound of delicious MEAT!” he yells, suddenly very upset.
I will not bore you with how many million times Nels and Phoenix wanted us to take pictures of the insect life they found. You can check my Flickrstream for an extremely truncated photo series. Bugs this, bugs that. Hey look I found another bug! REALLY.

A little time perspective out at the boardwalk. Today, 2012:

(That last picture is in August… Nels will be blonding up again accordingly.)
At home, a work station – just before finishing the facing back of bound buttonholes, and sewing on all eleven buttons:
So would a test size garment be…say…a 2T? I have a little guy you could whip one up for. Adorable coat.

That is perfect. Send me a few details as per this post. I’m casting a bit of a net to see who applies, and I’ll probably pick a kiddo/client within a few days.
Thank you!
Thanks, Kelly! Sounds great. I will email you the details later this evening! Thanks again for the opportunity! 🙂
I remember all of those boardwalk photos. The one that is two years old is still, in my mind, super recent.
