ISBN978-4-579-11289-0... catchy title

 I have a new sewing pattern book, It's all in Japanese, so we will quaintly refer to it as 11289.  I made Owen this snazzy reversible vest with pockets (L in size 130 for my 7-year old, pretty average sized kiddo). Looking at the pattern, and being relatively new to pockets, i didn't realize that the striped fabric I thought would be cute in the lining of the pocket, actually sticks out quite a bit.  S'alright though 'cause he loves the colorful stripes.  The inside is a white and blue ikat.

 These awesome pants are actually why I bought the pattern book.  They have a zipper and pleats.  Grace chose the fabric from a great fabric shopping trip up to Bolt.  I say great because she was a fab. fabric shopper, and came up with two beautiful pieces.  These for the pants, and a pretty offwhite for the shirt.  It's also done but I don't have a picture yet.

The shorts are "R" in size 110 for G., my slightly above average sized 3 1/2 year old and fit her perfectly if you sew the correct seam allowances (1.5cm on the outer edges.  I didn't at first and had to take them in.  I so very much want her to try them on, but unlike Owen who LOVES anything that I make for him, Grace is a bit more opinionated.  We got this for Easter, so she certainly is NOT going to wear them until then, except for the fastest try-on moment for fit.
