The tutorials for my boy's coat pattern arrived from the printer today so I'm ready to get listing! And with every new pattern comes a giveaway so here goes...
The coat is single breasted with a slightly a-line shape for ease of movement. As per usual, it is reversible and there are three buttons on each side. It comes with the option of a hood or pointed collar. Sizes are 18m/2T and 3T/4T, and the sleeves can be rolled up to show the contrasting fabric when child is smaller and down as they grow.
The warmer weather is making me cheerful, so for a chance to win this pattern leave a comment on this post with your favourite summer smell. I'll choose randomly on Monday.
Summer smell? Anything that isn't chicken/child/husband poo scented will suit me!
ReplyDeleteActually, I really love the smell of fresh mint. I bought a plant last week for my garden and it smells out of this world - I might have to go and sit by it this afternoon :)
Just been saying that I need to stop being so girlie and make something more manly for Nathaniel! And have just won some fabulous vintage nascar fabric on ebay!!
ReplyDeleteMy favourite summer smell is sweaty children covered in suncream and homemade frozen apple juice lollies! Just love babies that smell of the outside and fun!

ReplyDeletecut grass, smoke from the BBQ ( charcoal not propane!) and beer. All at the same time- in the summer my husband takes over a lot of the cooking, as such its all done outside while I have a beer!
ReplyDeleteI can smell bonfire right now. It's chilhood summer for me, up at my Grandfers at the end of a long day with everyone helping out in his garden, knackered and smokey and a bit scared because Dad and Uncle Pete keep chucking on fuel.
ReplyDeleteWe grow our own strawberries and the smell of them in the garden is just wonderfull. Nearly as good as watching my girls pick and eat them.

ReplyDeletePlease don't include me, my babies are now big!

ReplyDeleteCute pattern! My favourite summer smell is strawberries eaten out at a picnic!
ReplyDeletethere is an orange packing plant somewhere near our house and in the summer when we get a good breeze going you the house is filled with a sweet orange smell. That is my favorite summer smell!
ReplyDeleteI just love the patterns that you make! I hope to win this one, and buy the matching girls soon.
Growing up, the old couple that lived behind us had a patch of Bearded Irises. I would give the nice old man one of my mom's clematis blooms (the only plant she could ever really grow, and it was covered in purple flowers) or a dandelion. In return, he would give me either gum, a cutting off of a snowball bush (I think it's some kind of hydrangea... the funny thing is it belonged to *his* neighbor. He'd just reach over the fence and cut one off for me.), OR an iris from his wife's garden. They had the most beautiful smell. I always hoped he'd give me an iris.
ReplyDeleteThat smell is summertime and friendliness to me. (sorry for the novel!)
Oh I've got to say I love the smell of a newly mowed lawn. (As long as I don't have to do the mowing.)

ReplyDeleteOh , no, I lOVE the smell of tomato plants - I love to rub the leaves and get the scent from them in the summer.....

ReplyDeleteWinter has well and truly hit here so I'm loving really reading about all these beautiful summer smells.
Mine - would have to be strawberries from the garden also. But especially when I can smell then in my little boy's hair -he always seems to get them mushed in from head to toe in the process of raiding the garden!!
