Little village girl

Ella inherited a little traditional Chinese coat, mien aow, from cousin Katie. She looks really adorable wearing it. I couldn't resist making her a little village style coat using Katie's coat as a template. Tim helped to pick out the most country bumpkin prints for this little project. Since the overall styling was "little village girl," we picked up the gold medallion from our wedding from the safe deposit and VOILA!


This was definitely a challenging project. Although it turned out OK, but the coat is a little too stiff and the sleeves could be shorter and wider for comfort and would fit her better. Lessons learned. The next one should turn out much better.

Leilei, this picture of Ella is so distracting. I can't do homework. Tell Tim that I'm reading Nietzsche and I HATES IT
