Next Project - Beige/Yellow Jacquard Blazer

New fabric usually equals new project in the works. Whether or not I've planned and know what the project is can be a toss up. But this time I know exactly what I want to make with my brand new fabric. Pretty soon (hopefully) you'll be seeing a shiny new blazer.

Next Project - Abstract Beige Print Shirt

I dont have a fabric store close enough to visit regularly anymore, so it is really great when I manage to find fabrics at any of the second hand shops around town. I'm actually not known for wearing beige clothes but I really liked the print of this fabric. In honor of trying something new I decided to make an exception for it. I'm not entirely sure what I am going to make out of it yet... but there is enough of it to make just about anything I want.

Just Finished - Denim Jacket

This is another fabric I found while thrifting that I thought I could make something nice out of. With around 2 metres of denim the possibilities were pretty much open. I decided to make something season appropriate like a jacket. 

The pattern (McCall's 6444 which I used once before here) was meant for knits with a bit more drape to them but ended up working just fine with this denim. The cascading part doesn't exactly fall naturally like it does in this picture, but if you just fold the collar down it stays in place.

 

You can wear it in different ways which I love in a piece of clothing. It's great when you can wear something multiple times without it looking the same each time. 

Somewhat contemplating maybe putting some sort of clasp to give the option of closing it up when it gets real cold. Not entirely sure if I will because I wanted a layering piece more than I wanted an actual jacket.

Next Project - Blue Wooven Sweater

I went thrifting the other day and managed to find this particular fabric hidden inbetween the shelves. It appealed to me because I liked the colour and thought it looked fun. Since the fabric itself is slightly thick, I'm thinking it would make a great long sleeve shirt. My schedule is pretty open right now so there is a good chance you'll see this done real soon.

New In - Striped Fabric

While out thrifting I managed to find fabric that I think would fit perfectly as a blanket piece that I've been craving lately. There isn't as much of it as I would like, but there is definitely enough to make something fun and warm. I originally wanted to make a blanket coat with a big exaggerated collar but with this fabric I'll have to go in a different direction. I haven't decided yet, but this will probably end up being a poncho or a sweater with a wide collar. I will definitely show you the end product!

New In - Brown Lace Fabric

I know I showed new fabric just a couple days ago but I'm quite excited about this. Unlike the last fabric, I know exactly what I'm going to make out of this. I recently visited a local thrift shop and saw these curtains that I knew I wanted to sew a skirt out of. I have everything I need to get started and hopefully my new skirt will be up soon!

New In - Cotton Flag Fabric

Last week I decided to venture out and visit Karlstad. While walking aimlessly around the city center I found a fabric store. I wasn't planning on doing any shopping but I did end up buying this piece here. I'm not entirely sure what I am going to make with it yet, but I'm thinking maybe an easy sheath dress.

Diy Recycled Necklace

My new diy necklace made out of scraps of fabric and old wooden drapery rings.
