I made that tan coat - my daughter wears it EVERY DAY! and it's adorable on her. I didn't have any issues with the thinsulate at all - I simply trimmed it away (like a stacked seam) in areas that it would have created too much bulk. The coat is so cute, functional, warm. LOVE that little me inspired YOU! Great way to start a snowy morning. Thanks! How great!? I made that tan coat – my daughter wears it EVERY DAY! and it's adorable on her.

And I have to say that I knitted a scarf almost identical to the one your daughter is wearing!<br /><br />And you made me want to ask you if you ever feel like you put too much effort into sewing clothes that kids just end up growing out of? Sometimes I feel that way.... ;) Awesome Liesl, I love it! And I have to say that I knitted a scarf almost identical to the one your daughter is wearing!

It's very thin. I actually do use it in quilts. The result is a Depression-thin quilt that's super warm. Great stuff. Lovely, and she will be so snug this year!

I can relate to the fear of your child outgrowing things too quickly. It would be nice if they did their growth spurts at the end of the season, but before you've got next seasons clothes all sorted!<br />Great tips about interlining/lining options too.
