It's done the Rainbow Jacket for my god daughter

[Aelita]

I finally got my 13 yr. old god daughters' rainbow jacket done it took about a week working on it off and on. Here is it before I joined the pieces:

Here it is when it was done:

and here is the receiver of the rainbow jacket...I actually got a smile from her which is really hard to do with her yay go me:

the back of it:

and one more her outside with it on:

I am very proud of myself because I never made a big sized jacket before let alone one with a hood. It was quite a challenge but I got it done. The sleeves were the hardest to me I had to keep moving them around until I got it lined up to join them. The yarn I used was RH in Burgundy, Pumpkin, Bright Yellow, Hunter Green, Royal Blue, and Plum I think was the color for the purple I used. Then for the variegated it was RH Mexicana. I used the pattern from Crochet Today! feb/mar '07 issue called the 'Zippy Hoodie' but I never sewn a zipper so I did buttons instead and I also modified the pockets. The pockets on the original were to big and would be in the way for the buttons. I liked it so much I wanted to keep it. It fit me too but the sleeves were a little short on me lol. I'm glad my god daughter liked her rainbow jacket, now her mom wants one just like it lol.
