Song of the day: Martin Courtney - Northern Highway

Loving this so much that when I'm half way through I start to get sad because I know it will end soon.

Coat of not so many colours but some

Yes, here I am showing you one of my favourite selfmade items: a short, wide a-line coat made from a thrifted wool fabric. I made this at a sewing course taught by the skilled tailor Ellen Wiström. It wasn't that hard but a lot of the sewing is made by hand, so I'm really produ over how well made it turned out.

And I will probably not get tired of it anytime soon 'cause it's only wearable a few weeks every year, when the weather is not too warm, not too cold and not at all wet.

The bag is made from a lovely yellow wool fabric that came from my mothers old fabrics, and an old leather belt.

Song of the day: Julia Holter - Feel You

I love this song. Can't wait for the album to come out! September 25th I hear.

Ch-ch-ch-changes

 

I made this sort of 60's dress the other year from an old, thrifted curtain, but I never got around to wear it. I just don't feel comfortable in these things, although I love them on others. So I shortened it and have used it as a top along with leggings och black jeans for a while. I'm glad I did change it.

 



Unfortunately, old curtains don't always want to be used as garments. The foldings by the hems are shredding with every wash. So the curtain turned into a dress turned into a top may soon turn into a cloth. But it's ok.
