From adult long jacket to Toddler long jacket

I've been browsing MADE way too much recently and been inspirated to reconstruct a coat that I don't like anymore (and that my BF hates...) to a pretty little girl coat.

I've started with this:

in all its missing buttons and unzipping zipper glory...

And I've turned it into this:



It now has a hood :)

I've taken the whole thing apart and used a 18month spring coat to roughly have a pattern for the back. I've taken out the cowl, the pockets and the zipper, and I have used the cut out bottom to make a hood. So now it looks a lot like the winter coat I bought recently to replace this one.



I'm pretty sure it'll be too big, but I won't resist taking pics anyway!

It's the first proper piece of clothing that I make. Must admit that sleeve ins't the easy part!
thanks for looking!
