Baby Luna's New winter Coat
 |
| Look at those eyes. |
 |
| Luna's uncles were ogling. They couldn't believe what had happened to Luna. |
Luna grew out of her coat in 4 weeks. It used to lay just over her little tail. So I am going back to my sewing machine to make another. You can get the pattern here
I originally cut mine on a 4" grid and an adult llama would be cut on an 8" grid or larger depending on your measurements. I measured from the nape of the next to the base of the tail and then around the chest. Oh Luna is so soft and she makes the cutest gurgling sounds "Let me go!"
Here is the pattern and directions:
I used 1 1/4 water resistant fabric. it is nice to know you can cut 2 cria coats out from 54" wide fabric.
 |
| Just for enlarging the neck and lengthening the coat the blue lines show my alteration. But making this coat for an adult is full grown will have no alterations. |
 |
| My tile floor just happened to be 4" grid so laid down my wax paper and began tracing. |
 |
| Cut batting, I used 10 0z. |
Note for lining ( above) I cut on right side of fabric with long edge on the right.
Reverse for the outer shell. For the outer shell lay pattern on right side with long edge
on left.
 |
| I machine quilted the batting onto the lining to keep it in place for and because. Luna is a wiggle worm. |
 |
| Pin right sides together ( above) |
 |
| Leave a space for turning |
 |
| Notch curves and clip inside corners. |
 |
| Turn inside out. Just stick your hand into the opening and pull out what's inside. ( Just fold in the seam allowance of the opening) I top stitched 3/8 from the outer edge. |
It was a beautiful day with snow capped mountain and swirly angelic clouds. I just sewed this on my back porch. The warm autumn sun was soothing and the air was so fresh.
Even though the coat is much to small for Luna, I found out this was great for dogs !

| This winter coat fits Kollie perfect and who knows she may need it to stay dry when it rains.Cute huh? |
I have opened a store on Zazzle.com Little Utah Farm
We are creating many beautiful greeting cards and other things with our photography.
Here is a cup with Luna on it. I love the two tone effect. It comes with many colors for the inside.
Thank you for sharing your pattern and instructions. I have drafted a pattern and will look for appropriate fabrics to make a few.
