With Halloween coming around the corner I guess I'm getting my 'theme' wheels spinning. But that's not what I had intended when I decided to make this. When I was a little girl I always wanted a red hooded jacket. Not for a costume but to wear everyday. I knew that when fall came around, it would be one of the first things I sewed. To offset the 'costume' feel I gave the bottom a sort of cropped look. The front two sides swoop in a 'J' shape and tie at the top with a rope that also cinches the hood.I used a red velvet material for the jacket. Lily loved it so much she made me promise that I would buy more and make a blankie out of it. On the inside I added a rosebud lining. I also gathered the neckline.
This giveaway is for the jacket only. If you like the sweater dress they are still selling them at the Gap for kids. It's on sale for $30, but I found a better, cheaper one online at Old Navy for $20. I bought the knee highs at Gymboree. Believe it or not, it's hard to come by a pair of knee high socks. It seemed as though they were all a girl could wear when I was growing up.
I would say the jacket would fit a 3T-5T.
AND BE SURE TO CHECK BACK SOON FOR MY FIRST HALLOWEEN COSTUME POST!
Last day for posts is Monday 10/05/08. Winner will be announced Wednesday morning!

I can't believe knee-highs are hard to come by too. They add the perfect touch to your adorable creation.
As always, love the stuff you come up with!
(and no biggie, but I didn't see a "create a link" option on the bottom of the post.)
oh me oh my. I have always dreamed of a little jacket like this for Mia. I hope luck shines upon me.
This is so cute! Hope I win!
Very Cute! I do love the whole outfit. If I win, I am going to have to buy the other stuff too. My daughter loves jackets and sweaters. She would especially love one that could be used as dress up as well.
This is so adorable... I'm a do-it-myself pattern maker, but definately not up to this level yet! I def. need to get my dd some knee-highs!

Ah! How cute is that?! The whole ensemble is perfect. Giveaway gods don't fail me now! =)
What a beautiful little red jacket! I couldn't help myself and linked to my blog again. You make such amazing clothing. Would you ever consider doing something for boys or something unisex? I only ask because I don't have any daughters. Every time I look at your clothes, I think of my niece! Maybe, someday....
Just adorable & knee high socks are hard to find. My girls like them & what a pain finding them! I blogged http://momcontests.blogspot.com/2008/10/red-riding-hood-jacket.html
Just found this site. Gorgeous clothes. Can't wait to browse.
Oh, this is lovely! I found you through cakies. You're so, so talented.
I just linked you, but my blog is set to private.

Cute coat, I have a basket filled with RED apples to accessorize.
Very cute, Kathleen. It looks great altogether. Love the little dress, makes me wonder about some old sweaters in my closet. & Lastly, this time of year makes me remember the thick/stuffed? flannel bathrobe my mom made me. Always loved that thing.
