PROJECT CONTINUES | WINTER JACKET

Since winter still didn't commence around here in the Netherlands I got some extra time to finish my winter jacket. I've been working on it in my spare time whilst drinking a good cup of jasmin tea. I added an extra pocket and decided the jacket can be worn inside-out as well. The inside has such a lovely pattern.

It's almost finished now, you can already wear it. But I'm not totally satisfied with the result, so I will tweak it somewhat in the upcoming days before winter really starts.

PROJECT | WINTER JACKET

Although summer is still around us I continued making my new jacket for upcoming winter. I started a while ago but unfortunately the graduation project took all of my time so I had to leave this aside. As you can see the inner part is starting to build up. Tomorrow I will look for some strings and buttons at the weekly textiles market that I can use to shape the jacket.

Hope you’ve had a nice weekend!

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!

WINTER SEASON IS COMING

It finally had arrived, the DVD of Moonrise Kingdom. A beautiful film by Wes Anderson with perfectly stylized absurd and comic scenes. I watched it this weekend together with my family.

While watching the movie we drunk tea and we ate 'pepernoten', which are Dutch small spiced cookies especially meant for the 'Sinterklaas'-holiday (our kind of Santa, but than different ;). As you can see Sinterklaas also brought some gifts, I'm wondering what's inside!
It was nice to sit warmly inside with the whole family. Meanwhile it's getting colder and colder outside, I started wearing my gloves last week, winter is coming...

Liefs!
