Baby Brain

I finished this winter jacket for Eve Lily last week. I was so happy with how it turned out until I put it on her and started to take photos...

Doesn't it fit her beautifully? And if we lived on the northern side of the globe, it would be perfect for the up coming winter. Lots of room to grow or put layers underneath...
Wait a minute...I thought as I tried my best whistles and raspberries to get Evie's attention... it fits her now. Did I really cut a size 0?
I double checked. I did. I can't believe it. We're about to head into summer here. What was I thinking?

I decided I could just sell it in my shop and make Eve another.
Then I found this:

RED THREAD!? Where did you come from? Did I forget to change the bobbin thread after I sewed up the dark pink side? Can I still blame this on baby brain after 10 months? How did I not notice this earlier, like back when it would have been easy to unpick??

So it may just have to wait for the next baby girl born at the right time of year (on the right side of the globe) to be given as a gift. When I forget what a disaster this was, I still really love it. I love the way Anna Maria Horner's 'Folksy Flannel' range goes so beautifully with her 'Drawing Room' Home Dec range. How the deep pink and orange of the Drawing Room is highlighted in the berries and houses. It's what I look for and love most about putting colours together and making reversible clothing. It's the kind of thing that makes me feel like I'm doing what I should be.
