Mak­ing match­ing jack­ets with my nieces has become an annu­al tra­di­tion. This year Gigi request­ed a dinosaur jack­et. This was a tall order espe­cial­ly since bomber jack­ets with dinosaur appliqués was not an option. There­fore I had to be a bit more cre­ative with the lim­it­ed mate­ri­als and time I had available.

I decid­ed upon burnt orange/brown tweed wool with sequins, which remained from a pre­vi­ous pur­chase in NYC. I also chose cher­ry brown gen­uine leather, char­coal wool, and dusty rose silk (for the lining).

There wasn’t time to cre­ate orig­i­nal jack­et design for myself, so I used a Bur­dastyle pat­tern from a pre­vi­ous project, (see jack­et here). The jack­ets are for my 3‑year old nieces: Gigi and Pup. But my 1‑year old niece Ivan­na is mod­el­ing Pup’s jack­et in the photos.

The orig­i­nal plan was to sew a pleat­ed leather ruf­fle around the neck and down the front to repli­cate the look of one of Gigi’s favorite dinosaur fig­urines. But I scratched the plan when I real­ized the leather ruf­fle was too thick and could only be one-sided. I ulti­mate­ly used some char­coal wool scraps (left­over from this jack­et) for the col­lar, ruf­fle, and cuffs. Despite it being a pain to sew by hand as machine, I did add a leather ruf­fle to one cuff. A nec­es­sary addi­tion not only because it gives the jack­et bal­ance, but more impor­tant­ly “it’s dinosaur skin”.

I’ll be hon­est. At first Gigi did not like the jack­et. But after some per­sua­sion, she hap­pi­ly wears the jack­et and tells peo­ple to call her “G‑Rex”.
