This is so cute! My daughter loves a little stuffed bunny I made for her!

I made a dress for my aunt’s granddaughter . She looks beautiful wearing the dress :D
I have sewed for my son a bunch of softees over the last year,he loves them.
My daughter has loved nothing more than her bear costume when she was 3. It was a fleece hoodie with ears and tail and fleece pants. She wore it starting from halloween until way past next halloween, any time the weather was cold enough. She is 7 now and has not loved anything quite as much..
That is a beautiful coat.
To be honest, my daughter loves anything that I make her (now. When she was younger, it could be a fight) But her all round favourite was a handmade rainbow Farbenmix Redondo skirt made by a friend of mine. She has outgrown it now so I have another larger one stashed in the cupboard.
Fab pattern, I’ve been looking at it for a while – contemplating if I have enough time to make one….. Fave item of handmade has to be a Leila and Ben sweet little dress in a fabric with tiered cakes all over it – loved it!!
I made some slippers for toddlers last Christmas and gave them to many of my friends. They were a success, every kid loved them.
What a cute jacket. I think a favorite was a romper I made with a cute embroidery on the front.
What a lovely coat pattern. My youngest would look very sweet in it! My girls are constantly wearing some hats that I have knitted over the years. It always makes me smile
My daughter love her air clip bow made with fabric scrap.
I’ve made so many things for my kids, but their favorites are probably the most simple, hairbands made out of old t-shirt, softies and bean bags. I love this pattern! My little girl would look so cute it!
my fave thing i’ve made is the Urban Weekender Coat for my youngest. it was my first time sewing a coat, or something with sleeves! and i love the asymmetrical cowl collar! gooberific@yahoo.com
I love this coat! Thanks for the great giveaway! – Favorite handmade item? That would have to be a tutu and legwarmers she wore on her arms. She got to pick out all the colors in advance.
When my daughter was a baby, I made her a dress/bloomer set. I’ve made her other things since but that first item was my favorite.
my daughter loves her birthday dress so much, i made it last september…
My daughter LOVES the minnie mouse dress I made her

My son loved the coat I made him from Sewing For Boys. It’s too small now. Lately his favorite things have been the flannel pajamas I’ve been making him.

OK, I’ve sewn a Halloween costume and a flower girl dress for my daughter, period. Both were equally foo-foo and, therefore, well received, but nothing yet that I’M excited to see her wear. I love looking at your blog for inspiration! Just ordered Junko Okawa’s book. Big smile. =)
Wow, fabulous coat! My son loves the treasure pocket pants from Sewing for Boys
I made each of my kids (4) a quilt with whatever fabric they choose from the store…they are crazy, but they love them.
My favorite has been the owl hooded towel I made my daughter before she was even born.
My daughters both love their Dora twirl skirts I made them for their birthday.
my daughter loves a princess dress I made for her
Well, i have 6 children :-) but a garment that has gotten alot of love and has been passed down from oldest to youngest is a simple zippered jacket. bren5kids@gmail.com
I LOVE this, my boys are all about the costumes, I have made them pirate costumes last year and this year they wanted thing 1 and thing 2 costumes, took a lot of persuading to get them out of them and they pull them out whenever possible.
Lovely! My child’s favorite handmade item is a dress I just sewed up: OwlyBaby’s playdate dress. She wears it all the time!
My daughter loves the twirly princess skirt I made her last summer. I am not sure if it will make it this summer or have to be passed down to her little sister.
For summer my little girl loves her singlet ruffle dresses I make her. Basically a nice singlet with rows of ruffles attached at the bottom to make it a dress, cute and cool and easy to wear… easy to make too!
My daughter loves her skirt I made for summer. Thanks for the chance.
My daughter is all grown up and now her daughter is getting to enjoy some of the dresses I smocked for my daughter and new outfits I’m making her. Hard to choose her favorite yet.
an overcoat that was passed from my husband’s grandma to his mom to his sister to our daughter
Lovely coat. I’d love to make one for my daughter. Her favorite items I’ve made in the past are an upcycled cashmere hoodie and a pair of treasure pocket pants with pieced sides in rainbow colors. kristie_keely(at)yahoo(d0t)com
My girls love a simple (now handed-down) tank top I made because of its cute owl fabric.
My kids are too little to care, but I love my son’s pj pants made of dad’s old shirt.
I made a reversible A line pinny for my daughter with Valorie Wells Elephants appliquéd on both sides. She loves it, best birthday gift I gave her. I am currently trying my hand at a Christmas Dress for her.
My daughter is young but I am so happy with the quilted sleep sack I made her.
My three year old is obsessed with the pink tie dye shirt I made her this sumner. Obsessed. :)
Love that coat! My daughter really likes her t-shirt with the dolphin applique — I made the applique only, not the whole shirt. ;)
My daughter loves the smock tops I made her last year. She’s still squeezing in them and proudly announces to all that “Momma made this!”
That coat is adorable! I made my son a hot pink Sgt Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band Ringo Star jacket for halloween last year, and he has worn it almost every day since :)
My son loved his “fishy shorts”, bright fish patterned fabric shorts that he wore till they were threadbare!
i would enjoy the pea coat pattern. i made a blazer from blank slate patterns and it has fish lining fabric. my boy LOVES it. my little likes the fleece hat that i wooped up in like 5 mins. hes 2 and Needs it to go outside. cuties. thanks!!!!
My child’s favorite has been a knitted teddy bear and toys. I love your fabric choices!
Love this pattern! I hope to win because I’ve been wanting to sew my little girl a coat for a long time and have looked at pattern but nothing as cute as this. You say it’s simple? Even better. Well, my son loves a green sweater I knitted for him two years ago. It still fits.
LOVE this pattern – thanks for a chance to win! My daughter’s favorite outfit was a t-shirt with her name on it. When it got to small we sewed the openings closed and made it a pillow for her bed – 20+ yrs later – she still has it!
Adorable pattern! Last year I made a pair of ruffle bum leggings for my now 15 month old baby girl. I even made the little matching headband! She’s outgrown them so I need to make another set since she looked so sweet in them! Thanks for the wonderful giveaway!
My daughter loves her little red jacket that I upcycled from a boiled wool coat. It’s such a hit and super cosy. She needs a new winter coat and this one is so beautiful. Thanks for a great giveaway.
My daughter like bag i made for her, just because she prefer toy not clothes
The first thing I made my daughter was a skirt, and she wears it at least 3 times a week now!
i haven’t made a whole lot for my kiddos, but this past summer, i made a little shirred sundress using the sky blue disco-bally (meteor shower) fabric from tula pink’s birds and the bees. it’s her favorite (and she’s only two) and i’ll definitely make some more for next summer, because they are so easy and cute. i’m terrified to try anything complicated, so i’m hoping a free coat pattern jump starts my garment sewing!
I have made her dresses and skirts that are too cute!
My children love the knitted hats that can tie under the chin the best.
My daughters love their twirly sundresses, lots of gathering involved in making those!

I think this is the second or third blog giveaway I’ve entered in my life. Normally I don’t do so, but this prize is SO worth it!
So . . . I sew for two girls, but the hands down favorite was a simple layered skirt I made for my 4 year old. Had to hide it after awhile b/c I got so tired of her wanting to wear it!
lovely coat, I definitely would like to make one so beautiful as yours, my little girl LOVES purple
I made a sweater for her, but she didn’t like that, my boy is more cooperative I made him pajamas and he liked them :)
My family is new to sewing so no hand made items yet. Working on it though.
my daughter loves her wrap skirts
Oh! I would love to make this coat for my 21 month old niece! My daughter’s favorite thing I make for her is twirl skirts. She loves them and wears them around the house all the time. But, when she leaves the house, it’s always in jeans. Haha!
My daughter’s favourite at the moment is her birthday wrap dress. Thanks for sharing
I love this coat! My daighter’s favorite thing is a bag I made her. She loves stashing the most random stuff in it!
This is a lovely coat ! My daughters love dresses and skirts, so it’s the most convenient way to please them !
My grandmother made an adorable knitted hooded sweater for my daughter when she was a toddler that had a zipper that started at the tip of the hood and ran down the back. So easy to put on a busy kid! Thanks for a great giveaway~!
My daughter loves the pillow cases I make her!
my son’s fav was a lion jacket i made for him
My eldest loves nightgowns.
I made my daughter a maxi-dress last spring, and she is very upset to have outgrown it. I love this coat pattern and I have four daughters, so I would be sure to make more than one!
my son requested a skirt for his birthday last year and he loves to wear it over pajama leggings and shorts! thanks
I made jumpers for my girls when they were little. Now they’re starting to have kids, so I’m sewing little clothes again! My granddaughter loves a banana yellow jungle themed dress I made her!
My little man’s favorite was a pair of really soft linen pants
seriously awesome coat! As for my daughter, she loves anything long and flowy…. i made her a few sundresses this Summer and she still trys to wear them to school with a long sleeve shirt underneath. :)
my girls love the wool capes i made them last winter!
My favourite outfit I made for my daughter was a dress to wear to my brothers wedding. I used Made by Rae’s itty bitty dress pattern for my preemie princess. I will treasure the tiny dress forever!
I love this coat! My son loved the hoodie sweater I knit him. But now he says he never gets cold anymore. No sweaters for him. My daughter would love this though. Thanks for the chance!
i made some suits years ago and love them
My little guy doesn’t really have favorite clothes yet… but I’m hoping the Christmas pj’s I’m working on will be a favorite! :)
peachstateme(at)hotmail(dot)com
My girls LOVE their twirly skirts, my youngest (4) likes them to “touch the floor” so it’s a struggle to keep her stocked up since she’s always growing too fast!!
My daughter loves tunics, or shirt dresses as she calls them.
My daughter loved a sweatshirt that she’s now outgrown (she’s 2). Dad and I loved a three-piece ombre tshirt dress – I need to figure out how to duplicate that pattern so she can wear one like it (until she’s 18? LOL)
My daughter’s favorite is anything that twirls!
I made my daughter some Oliver + S shorts that went over really well. Love all their patterns!
My daughter’s favorite thing I sewed is her pajamas. I love using the hopscotch dress by o&s. I am in love with this coat by the way.
Gorgeous coat patterns! :-) My son is still too young to have a favourite of his own, but my favourite handmade garments to put him in are a variegated-blues cardigan his grandmother made and a pair of grey-and-black houndstooth trousers I made.
I don’t know if the baby has any favorites yet :) My favorite for her is too small now – it’s Rae’s Itty Bitty Baby Dress, in a red, white, and black cherry print. First “cute” thing she ever wore!
My daughter Abigail is only 16 months, so she doesn’t really tell me her preferences yet – but I can tell she loves her ducky H&F hoodie! (http://craftyhour.com/?p=237)
thanks for the chance! :)
What a great jacket, my daughter likes her new purse and dress I made. My son likes his stuff animal.
I don’t have a child, so can’t answer that, I’m afraid! But I do have a 16 mo old niece that so far I have sewed a pair of pants for, and would love to do more sewing for!
I made a skirt with bloomers attached which i liked. Little one liked some lace leggings i upcycled.
I have girls and boys to sew for so that would be a handy pattern!
I’m not sure I have ever seen that pattern. It is *awesome*.
My 5 year old loves everything I make her. My 9 year old? I couldn’t pay her to wear anything I make. It has always been this way. Thus, one kid has oodles of handmades and the other has very few.
