February Monthly Make

It is officially the first day of autumn, and the cold weather has struck already.  The wind has blown all my potted trees and outdoor furniture over, and apparently we can expect worse (gale-force) over the next few days.  Good friends of ours are getting married on Saturday so that is pretty unfortunate, but that is Waikato weather for you.  Luckily for Little Miss I have started on her winter wardrobe already - she's going to need it sooner rather than later it seems!  

My February make is a heavy polar-fleece coat. I haven't finished the hem or the sleeves, as I intended to do those later in the season when Little Miss will be wearing it - she is growing so fast these days!  And I have to practise making buttonholes before I attempt them on this coat as I've never done them before.   I love this coat,  I want one for myself!  Little Miss picked the colour - she is currently obsessed with having everything match the colour of her eyes - and I think she made a great choice.  It's gorgeous!!

Take care and keep warm...
