Well, by the friend's smile, she was thrilled with her birthday gift. Yes, granddaughter's is adorable, as I'm sure as adorable as the one who wears it.
Our guild had a one day workshop to make one of these. My colors were gorgeous, construction went fine, BUT in my opinion, these jackets only look good on someone under a size 12!! I looked wretched!! Looked like it was made by Omar the tent maker!! So, I turned it into a gift for an old friend!! She loves it!!
On the other hand, I love the one I made for my great granddaughter Sara!!
