7-27-2014 -Cecile's Parlor Jacket
The last time my mom and I made an order with American Girl, we went in together to get Cecile's Parlor Jacket. My mom wanted the blouse and skirt, but didn't like the jacket. I was the opposite; really liked the jacket, wasn't too fond of the other two pieces (didn't realize 'til it arrived that there were ribbons with it too.). 'Course, after it got here, we realized how nice all three pieces are. Anyway, the one thing I did not like about the jacket was the two straps sort of in the center of it, holding the two sides together. I finally sat down last night and worked on it. I removed the two center straps and the velcro from the jacket, then sewed the ends of the straps together, removed one of the velcro tabs from one strap, and replaced it with a velcro tab from the jacket, and voila! An easy bracelet. :D I like the jacket so much better now.
