Jack Bear's Great Coat

[absdax]

So i FINALLY got around to making JackBear a Great Coat.


Erin's mum lent me the sewing machine and i made the pattern up from looking at Jacks Dressing Gown.
The material was on sale in Spotlight which is what prompted me to spend 7 hours sitting in front of a sewing maching making it up as i went along!!!
(i havent done the button holes yet... but they will prob be done in another year... when i get around to it....!)

Anyway here is Jack in all of his glory...

OMG he's adorable!

So, how did you go about doing it? I've been banging my head against the wall for a while trying to figure out how to make a Jack coat for my bear to cosplay (and now I need to make one for the lion I got and named Captain Jack) :) Because that looks quite good!

GREAT JOB!!!!!! :D

I second the motion ... er ... request!

And why am I not working on Nano? Because I LOST THE PLOT!

plot? What's that?

I think Jacqueline shoved anything that was trying to masquerade as a plot into the cryogenics drawer ages ago.

Now I'm just trying to figure out how we're gonna stop the Nostrovite and save Rhea without untying her from the dessert cart. Because that would be dangerous :)

I'd like a bit of a tutorial as well!

JackBear had a dressing gown (from Builda Bear) and i just copied the pattern, made it a bit longer and altered the coller so it would stick up more.

i made the pattern out of newspaper first before i cut any of the material,

made sure it was gonna fit him, then sewed it all together.
