I found this precious coat pattern on Etsy and I'm making it for Junebug. I've chosen the main fabric--a gorgeous green corduroy. Green is Junebug's color. It has always looked good on her so that was a simple choice. But the lining fabric is another story.
Which do you prefer?
Choice 1 - Mustard yellow with cotton blooms
Choice 2 - Multi-colored fabric in a fun pattern:
If it helps at all in making a decision, Junebug picked out some buttons for the jacket. They're orange and I thought they'd look great with the green. (She already has great taste!) The jacket is supposed to have a big bow on the front for closing, but if I know Junebug, she'll fight that tooth and nail (possibly literally) so we're opting for a button front (more like a pea coat).
Here's another view of the coat:
So, which lining fabric would you choose? Your feedback is greatly appreciated!
I'd go with the mustard lining! Seems like it goes better with the orange buttons. Love the jacket, it will turn out so cute.
ReplyDeleteI like the mustard too! It's going to be adorable!
ReplyDeleteLove the coat and both fabric too. But if I had to pick, it would be the multi-color one.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see the coat.

Choice number 1 all the way! So pretty. Your June-bug is going to be precious!
ReplyDeleteI'm new to your blog (found you through Pinterest)-LOVE the coat. Might just a coat for my new baby girl due in 1 month.
ReplyDeleteMy vote is the mustard with cotton blooms. ADORABLE!
got to be choice 1, looks so cute together.
ReplyDeleteWithout a doubt, option 2!!! Those colors are amazing! :D
ReplyDeleteWithout a doubt...the mustard! Very fall.
ReplyDeleteThe mustard yellow is beautiful it screams autumn you should totally use that, its beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThe mustard yellow hands down! I love the flowery pattern and the color combination!

A Sweet Release
I love the mustard yellow! I think that it would be absolutely precious :).
ReplyDeleteMustard lining...but the orange buttons don't really jive...like you were trying to match but missed. I'd use white buttons, or silver. If using the orange buttons, the multi-colored fabric.
ReplyDeleteThat mustard yellow flower pattern is so striking. I'd choose that.
ReplyDeleteI like the mustard cotton blooms best. I feel like it's a little more interesting than the multi. And the buttons go so perfectly with the combination of fabric choices!
ReplyDeleteEgad...that's tough. I prefer the mustard. Does it come in lady size because that is something I would wear!
ReplyDeleteI love the buttons:) Wopuld add another nice looking feature to the beautiful coat.:)
ReplyDeleteThis is such a cute jacket! I would go with the multi-colored fabric. I think it contrasts with the orange buttons better. But in the end, this is a liner and will only be seen a little, so if you or your daughter have a favorite, then go with that! Can't wait to see the finished jacket!!
ReplyDeletePlease choose the mustard pattern!
ReplyDeleteCute coat! I'd say the multi-color fabric for sure, especially with the orange buttons!
ReplyDeleteMulti! Mustard is gorg but better for an adult. The multi is perfect for a little girl.
ReplyDeleteI vote for the Acadia fabric in your pillow you made, actually.....
ReplyDeleteIMHO little people look cute with little patterns. For your size the blossoms , and bow it out- for the bug...multi print and buttons
ReplyDeleteI would go with the mustard yellow with blooms. This is a fall coat that you are making out of corduroy with orange buttons. The mustard with go with the fall theme better. The bright multi is really cute, but it seems like more of a spring/summer print to me. Definitely the mustard.
ReplyDeleteOh man. I love that mustard yellow for myself. Looks so chic and vintage. But since it's for your daughter, maybe go with the other one? It looks younger and more fun!
ReplyDeleteI love the mustard yellow and cotton blooms, the buttons I think would go really well with it to! LOVE LOVE LOVE the jacket, way too adorable.
ReplyDeleteI'd go for the mustard too. I really like both prints, but once I saw the buttons, I thought mustard would be better with the orange buttons...
ReplyDeleteCute jacket by the way!
I LOVE the mustard fabric! Could you PLEASEEEEE share where you got it????
ReplyDeleteWhere did you buy that mustard fabric?
ReplyDeleteHi, i LOVE your blog, was wondering if anyone has seen a patern for that jacket in a women's size? thanks so much
