Here's the jacket DD made. Finished it up today :)

We started out with the jacket pattern found here:

There's also a children's version here:

She had a bit of guidance, but did the work herself.
We had to lengthen it because she's almost 5ft 9 in tall.
And we decided that the back, which originally called for the horse panel to go all the way to the shoulders, should have a yoke instead.
Quilted with horseshoes.

BTW, I'm one proud mama :D

That's great! She did an awesome job! Much better than I could do! It fits her really well. Cute pattern, too!
Thanks for sharing! :D

very nice great job

You should be proud! Nice job! :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

you did a fantastic job!!! I love the material!

Well done. Your daughter looks like she approves! She is very cute. I can see the horse shoes quilted in, nice touch.

Great jacket! Your daughter did a wonderful job, you have every right to be proud.

Fantastic job!!!! I love it, and it looks so comfy!! ;) :thumbup:

wow, cute jacket, thanks for sharing

Very nice looking jacket. super job!

I know how proud you must be, and I bet your daughter is quite pleased with herself. It thrills me to see young girls interested in sewing apparel. Sewing was my passion for so many years, but daughter and grandgaughter show no interest at all.

i would be proud as punch..she did a great job and alot better then i would have done ..tell her to keep it up

What a great jacket, and because she designed it and made it, it's even more special.

Thank you all for your wonderful comments. I'll be passing them on to her
:D

She did a great job and I'm sure will make many more in the future! It's really nice!

Fantastic.

This is one pretty jacket!

Wow, that turned out so nice! I love the fabric you used!

Nice work!

I'm impressed. A very nice looking jacket.

I love the horseshoe quilting motif. I have that horse fabric. I am going to fussy cut it and make and attic windows quilt. Of course, that's as soon as my ufos are done and I can ever get off reading the board every night! :D

Wonderful jacket. Your daughter did a fantastic job.

I totally agree. She did a fantastic job, fabric placements just at right spot...and you even though of quilting with horseshoes. Fantastic. Your daughter must be very excited and proud, as you are.

Great job, Mom, with your guidance and expertise.

great job...Love it

Very Cool Jacket!!!!!

Your DD did a fantastic job on her horse jacket. She'll be the envy of all her friends. They'll be begging her to make them one! Yes, you should be proud of your DD.

kara!! I wish I had a daughter. You are lucky she wants to make her own clothing. She sure did a fabulous job on it. Even the top stitching is perfect!

Both of you should be very proud! This is so cute and the horseshoe quilting works perfectly!

Great jacket.

I love, love, love it. My daughter can not sew on a button.

WOW!!! That is beautiful!!! She should be very proud of herself :D:D:D

Very nice work!

What a wonderful looking jacket!! :thumbup: You must be so proud of her & her skills with sewing such a nice jacket. By the way, I love the horse fabric in it!!
:D :D :D :D

You've got a future quilter on your hands! She did a great job!

Oh wow, she did a great job, she's going to be one fabulous seamstress and quilter. I couldn't make a jacket as nice as she did.

Both of you should be ever so proud and smiling big time.

warm quilt hugs, sue in CA

Oh my--that's beautiful! If I saw it in a store--I'd buy one!! Bravo!

Stunning job. Great fit and wonderful colors.

Great Job and it looks very very cozy...

This is a really great job. I love the horseshoe on the outside of the hood. I would have loved to have seen her happy face.

Kara, One of my favorite names. That is my daughter's name, spelled the same way. Your daughter did a great job, but would love to see her face. What actually showed, looks like a beautiful young lady. Glad she likes to sew, my daughter has no desire and when I mention it she just says"Mom why should I when I have you to sew for me." lol
