NEW PROJECT | WINTER JACKET

This is my old winter jacket. I made it by hand a couple of years ago. It was the first piece of clothing I ever made. Since I did not know how to make a jacket I based the pattern-making on one of my favorite jackets (which unfortunately was totally worn out). It took me a long time to finish it, but in the end I was happy with the result.

Right now, 3 years later, I have decided to make a new winter jacket (for next year's winter). Yesterday morning I went to the market to shop for fabrics, I found a beautiful woolen black-grey textile which will be perfect for the jacket. I still had the woolen textile with the Nordic print, which I bought last October. Furthermore I will use a black smooth textile for the lining.

The jacket will be based on a pattern of BURDA that I ordered online, it has a poncho-shape. Now I have to wait for the pattern to arrive. When there's any progress I will let you know!

Liefs!

I'M BACK

It has been a while since I updated my blog. I've had some very busy and chaotic days due to deadline-work for my study. I even forgot to buy breakfast one day! The Netherlands look very fairytale-like at the moment because of the snow. I am happy that I've got some free time ahead, I'm thinking of making a nice walk in tomorrow.

A few weeks ago I went on a little trip together with Paul to Antwerp, Belgium. We ate the usual Belgium Waffles, went to FoMu (Photo Museum) and visited a couple of nice second-hand shops.

I bought a beautiful reversal film in one of the shops of a family I don't know, I'm wondering when the picture was taken and where.

Enjoy the weekend, Liefs!
