My nieces’ birthday is coming up and I stumbled over this beautiful softshell with reflective print at a wandering market.

Lesson learned 1: children’s cloths are so much smaller, making them is a lot faster.

Lesson learned 2: they are in fact so small that the arm holes don’t fit around the sewing machine anymore and I had to finish the arms by hand

One jacket done, 2 more to go

    Suggestion for fitting arm holes is to keep side seam open, fit the sleeve shoulder seam, then sew the side seam and under arm seam in one action. A lot easier than fitting the sleeve into the arm sythe. 😘
