Since I’m making up the rules, of course you can jump ahead!

My plan is to put together the actual plan and announcement mid-September so everyone has time to gather supplies. Then the blog posts will come beginning of October. My goal is to put together a nice pdf for download combining all the blogged/photographed steps should people want it for future reference.

I’m excited we now will have two teeny ones – one for Trixie and one for Tamara’s new little one!

I’d be interested in sewing along

[sarahb]

Oh how fun! I have never sewn this one either.

[katybellabug]

Yes!

Giving myself the deadline of an October start would be perfect.

Boo needs a new winter coat and I have a few things to tick off the list first. Count me in.

[lilypadmontana]

Oh yes count me in! I’ve already been planning to sew one for my daughter but a sew along is so much more fun 😉

I just spotted this paper pattern at my local quilt store AND I have a coupon to use before the end of September. This could be a fun way to get a new winter coat for my little guy. Only question is, should I get the small size or the larger? He’s only 22 months, but I would probably make a 3T sized coat so it would last. Decisions!

Count me in too please – my local fabric shop has a sale this weekend, so hoping to find some fabric for my daughter then.

[ilovebeam]

Sounds fantastic – I’d love to sew along!!

[avashmava]

Yes, count me in, too! I’ve had this pattern for a couple of years and need to sew it up before my youngest outgrows it! He is eight…sniff, sniff.

[nwfritsche]

I have this on my cutting table right now! I can’t wait to get started!

Is everyone ready for the School Days coat sew-a-long?!? I know I am, thank you Janice for hosting this sew-a-long and Liesl will have it right here on the O+S blog on the week of October 27th! How exciting is that?!

[merelee79]

Am I too late to the sew-a-long party? I made my son the school days jacket last year and want to make one for my daughter this year. My son still fits in his (yippee)! This sew a long will be a great motivation for me to actually get it done.

[Tamara]

No not too late! If you grab your gear together you will be just in time. We are starting on the 3rd November (I think) so you are just in time.

[sosew]

yay! i just cut the lining yesterday and sewed the lining hood and sleeves tonight. waiting for the fabric for the coat to arrive.

i sewed this in 3t last year and thankfully gave myself time since i need to make a second one for my twins, it should fit them this year (and their dad wears a similar style coat!)

[Tamara]

That would be so cute to have the little ones with a similar styled coat to their Daddy’s.

I am tossing up whether to use some corduroy or go with denim. In fact if I have time I might make two and then I can give one to the baby down the road – farm kids need coats wherever they are in the world!

The one I plan to make for my bubba to be is having texture added! Provided it works of course.
