When I was younger, my mother made all of my clothes. Every time I saw a piece of clothing in a store I liked, she'd say, "Oh, we can make one just like that." I wish I had her sewing skills now. Did you see the Toggle Coat Anna Allen made? She saw one she loved and then just made one herself. It's just perfect.
P.S. I also love this top with the ballerina neckline that Anna is selling in her shop.
Wow! That is amazing. I am also looking for a (affordable) toggle coat and this makes me want to do more sewing so one day I can sew something like this. Amazing!
yes, that is awesome. and i’m so impressed by your mom!!!
aww, thank you chelsea! you’re a sweetheart. 🙂
i’ve been looking for a coat just like this. now i’m wishing i had my mom’s sewing skills too!
Wow!
Isn’t Anna amazing!? I love a toggle coat!
That’s amazing.
I remember being so impressed when my mom would make something for me! And that coat is too amazing.
I could teach you to sew! We also have a craft group, and it’s fun and really helpful!
Oh, how fab! I wish I could make something like that.
Much love,
