girly style linen jacket

It’s Saturday morning and I’ve got that world-is-my-oyster kind of feeling. It is sunny and springy, so I know we will spend time out in the yard, but Eva and I also have a going-to-town agenda that includes a quilt show, a crepe snack, a perusal of the toy store, and a trip to Sally Beauty Supply to pick this season’s toenail polish color. (Last year it was always classic red. This year I think we’ll mix in a metallic.)

Last weekend, I finished this little jacket I started for Eva a couple months back. Girly Style Wardrobe—queen of little girl outfit Japanese craft books. I love the way it came out. I’m pretty sure Eva likes it to. Actually at first she said that the armpit was itchy, and I thought that I was going to have to do ribbon binding on the seams or something, but it turned out that it was just a pin her vicious mother had left inside her garment.
