It's All About the Lining

Guess what? It's "L" week at Sew All 26 of no big dill!

So, I'm squeezing this outfit into "L" theme... and voila! It's all about the "Lining".

You see this so beautiful, comfy and soft faux fur fabric inside of this cape?

Actually, it's not the lining cause I made this cape reversible. But let me say this is the lining :)

The cape pattern is from this Japanese Sewing Book, Hand-made Little Girl's Clothes (Heart Warming Series) . The pattern has ears and I couldn't resist the cuteness.

The outside fabric is the stretch velour and inside is the fake fur. I got both of the fabrics from JoAnn's remnants rack. Again.

The original pattern closes with the leather tubs and the buttons, but I wanted this to be reversible so I sewed the loop between the outside and the inside fabric. And I sewed the fabric covered button on the outside. I didn't sew the button inside yet. If I find coordinating button, I will add it to the inside.

I really love the cape. T wore the cape (hand me down from SIL) last winter and it was so stinkin' cute. I was so determined to make some capes this fall/winter. So, I'm so glad I made this.

How adorable is this back style?

And the Ballon shorts pattern is from this Japanese Sewing Book, "a sunny spot" everyday clothes for littel girls .

I used another velour remnants from JoAnn.

You see how skinny A is. Right? I've been feeding her enough, though she might not look so.

These shorts are just so cute. I want her to wear this on some tights during winter.

And of course these shorts have secret fancy lining inside...

It coordinates with the small bow on the waist. Sweet little detail.

A is making a "heart" with her hands. L is for "Love" too.

Are you sewing along with Katy? It's not too late to start now!

Sweet! I love the ears on the hood, and the cape looks super cosy. As for the skinny legs, my daughter has those too - we always say they look like noodles :)

[Jenya]

The cape is just gorgeous! That fur make is look so soft and warm! And the little ears - weee!! The shorts look great too, I agree, they till also look great with tights :) What a great outfit!

Thanks, Marisa! Yes. It is cosy and A was wearing it all day yesterday even inside of the house :) I see your girl is skinny by your photos. Does she eat well? Mine is not interested in eating food (well, she loves snacks). But I can't blame her cause I was same when I was a kid...

[Shino]

Thank you, Jenya! Yes. That fur really is soft. I want to snuggle in it all day. ha!

[Heather Feather]

I love these pieces! They are fantastic! I can't believe you found those fabrics in the remnant bin! (That's almost the only place I ever shop for fabric!)

[marisa]

She eats all the time - but like yours, she mostly likes to snack. Her older brother is a giant compared to her!

[Shino]

Thank you! I can't help looking in the remnant rack every time I go to JoAnn... even if I don't need ANY fabrics at all. ha! It's good to look there after some sale, you might find some goodies there :)

Oh my daughter would love that cape. What a great soft lining I'd have trouble getting her to wear a shirt under.

[Shino]

Thanks, Stephanie! Mine is wearing this inside the house instead of the blanket :)

[Angela]

Love the outfit and love the comment about getting someone to wear a shirt under that fuzzy softness. Mine would cry about that too!

[Shino]

Thank you, Angela! I understand that's why she always puts hood on when wearing this :) Yes, inside fabric is sooo soft..
