Plaid wool jacket for my daughter - Ottobre 1/2010#14

 Second coat ready as well for Eva. I used a very very cute old Ottobre pattern  - 1/2010#14:

Working with plaid I thought to skip the side seams again for the bodice and cut the lower skirt stragit and figure the pleats myself to keep the plaid lines matching:

I wanted to add pockets to the pattern but it was a bit difficult with all those pleats and decided to save myself the trouble and added a small one into the lining. Eva as a bit disappointed though with the lack of pockets.
    When I first asked her to try it it she asked me to add her buttons. It was so funny.

The second time I asked her to try it a few days later she didn't asked for buttons any more. She asked if I can put some pins to it....

I used some cute polka dots cotton for lining and some buttons from my stash. I could have probably found a better match in store but I was happy to remove some from my stash:

I think her coat turned out really cute in the end:

 (looking for pockets... no pockets :( )

Plaid wool jacket for my son - Ottobre 4/2013#15 Lynx jacket

With the bee over I could finally think and focus on some warm wool jackets. I started buying this double sided wool for myself and then another piece for the kids.

I cut mine 1st and Eva's second but I finished the one for my son first. I used a wook knit jacket from ottobre for my son : Lynx jacket - Ottobre 04-2013-15:

I really liked the design lines but I simplified it a bit for this fabric by eliminating the side seams:

I also replaced the zipper pockets with welt pockets:

I used the plain side for the shoulder patches , welt and hoodie:

I made the zipper less exposed:

I added a fun lining:

I also sewed a fast scarf with blue shades for him

Is not perfect but I really like the way he looks in it:
