Finished sewing a total of 2 pants and 1 jacket in less than a week, a record for me! They were all washed, just not totally dried. These few days the sun wasn't cooperating with me. The days had been gloomy. Hanhan had recovered from fever, but still has runny nose. Hope that she will be totally recovered really really soon, I really look forward to the trip.
The pants I made for her.
Elastic tape threaded. I did some elastic stitch on top to secure the elastic tape, I think I pulled a little too much and top part went a little wonky. I used elastic on the bottom of the leggings too, hoping to cut down the amount of cold air flowing in.
Another pair of pants for her. The one shown on top is a little baggy, this one is straight cut.
Front
Back
I chose several fabrics for Hanhan to match with the solid brown. In the end, she chose the Chihuahua fabric, she always like cute stuffs, like her Mummy ;P I showed Daddy the completed pants and he gave me a weird look, he thinks that I have over done with the Chihuahua fabric, what do you think?
The patterns for both pants are modified from past issues of Cucito. I can't find a satisfy long pants pattern for girl, so I used the basic shape for boys pants and modified their pockets and such, to make them looked a little more girlish.
Refashion my fleece sweater bought years ago. I only wore it once I think, now it's way too small for me.
Before: sweater for me
After: Jacket for Hanhan
I guess I'm not good with fabric that moves a lot, the zipper part went wonky too. However, at least the sweater got to see the outside world again, I'm sure Teddy will be happy too.
Oh.... Teddy had went to the back.

Just my 2 cents. The jacket looks very nice!
