Henry's coat and hat

I made this charming little coat and hat for my son, Henry. The pattern is McCall's 6255 from 1962. It was a stunt outfit for pictures, so I skipped all the interesting tailoring instructions included in the pattern. It still took me two years to finish it!

Boy's Bath Robe - Butterick 6974 - circa. 1980's

I made this bath robe for my son using Butterick 6974, a 1980's pattern. It is so comfy. He loves to snuggle up in it. I used plush fleece sofa throws for the material. It feels very luxurious. You should have seen my floor. This material really sheds when you cut into it. To help prevent further shedding once it was sewn, on the inside, I first sewed two rows of stitching, then zig zagged the edges. For that professional finished look, I top stitched the outside of the robe. And voila, a handsome robe for a handsome boy.
