The new pattern is at the printers... and will hopefully be here and ready to pack tomorrow.
It's a trans-seasonal coat for little girls (sizes 4-8), that can be made in anything from medium-weight cotton to winter-weight wools, and it's called the All Seasons Coat.
Or it can be made with a hood, and the belt is completely optional so it can be a cute little swing style coat.
Here we have a gorgeous-yet-anonymous child, modelling the hoodie version....
And the back....
It's fully lined, and has some fancy new tricks for making patch pockets and cheats-methods for a tailored-looking collar.
You'll be able to see a few of the pattern-testers' versions around the bloggy traps soon. There may even be a couple of giveaways. Watch this space... and perhaps ask your favourite YOU SEW GIRL stockist to get it in for you!

It's all love for this pattern and these photos! Blogless Anna
Yay - will get the kid into her coat in the next day or so and get blogging about it. Lovely work!
The kids coat looks fantastic Nikki! Ill definitely be on the lookout for the pattern. I can see both charlie and remy in one of those for next autumn (it will probably take me that long to make them). Love the telepathic responses too - im all for them!
that looks so smart! very nice indeed.
I'm going to predict a question (especially from US where it's cheaper to buy) can it be made in laminated cotton.
those red boots are rather snazzy also.
I just wish my kids were still small so that I could make this great coat for them. Will it come in adult sizes?
LOVE it!!
I want the green one in my size!
Adorable!!!
Very stylish!
Love it - any chance of one for bigger girls (kids) sz 8 - 14?
Hi Nikki, I'd go for the All Seasons Coat for my two little ones. Thanks for the chance. Inez
what did you use to line it? I've used some cool-looking cottons before but it makes it harder to get the coat/jacket on and I was advised that something silky is better, but I find silky is often colder when putting on.
