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.

 



Donna Wilson fabric collection!

En av mina favoritdesigners, Donna Wilson, lanserar en tygkollektion i höst! Bekanta motiv som moln, träd, sjöar och regndroppar finns nu som print på tyg av bomull och linne, tänkt till framförallt kuddar, gardiner och liknande.

 

 

 

"Moon cloud"

 Tyvärr skulle min Spiderman/Scooby Doo-dyrkande 8-åring fnysa åt trycket med räv, uggla, björn etc, annars kunde det blivit nåt fint till hans rum. Men nåt ska jag väl kunna hitta på. Priser mellan 25 och 35 pund per meter + frakt.

"Holding hands"

 "Mountain home"

 

 Fave designer Donna Wilson launches a printed fabric collection this fall!

Crazy cushion-lady

När jag inte vet vad jag ska sy, eller helt enkelt inte orkar pilla med något mer tidsödande syprojekt, så syr jag kuddar. Upptäckte häromdagen att jag har en meterhög samling kuddfodral i ett skåp hemma. Hrm.

De här får vara framme nu. Kudden längst fram med gula träd gjorde jag av ett tyg jag fick av en vän som hade över en bit efter att ha inrett en stuga i 70-talsstil. En alldeles underbar stuga med massor av färgglada, nostalgiframkallande detaljer.

Molnkuddarna gjorde jag för något år sen, inspirerad av Donna Wilson, som har så mycket fina och roliga kuddidéer. Och den runda gjorde jag i vintras efter en beskrivning i Mollie Makes .
