I have been crazy crazy busy with my sister in law wedding coming in 2 weeks. I can't really believe I made the wedding dress but after countless hours of work is almost done... just a few more hours with some hand finishing touches... and I have just started on the little outfits... I will probably not have much time left for myself but it is OK.
2 weeks ago was still crazy cold and that got me thinking that I don't want a dress for the day events but a coat... so I was thinking of making this quick summer lekala coat in a cute brocade and decided to use some stash wool for a test drive.
It turned out a lot thicker then I expected so I added an extra band at the sleeve to make it long sleeved rather then 3/4 and skipped the pockets - seemed to bulky already though I might add them later... Spent way more time then I should have on it making welt pockets and dealing with fabric issues but this is the result...
And now that I made a wool coat the spring is finally here...
I have been shopping again online and in person 12 new fabrics ... oops! and I am behind with blogging since almost everything I made lately is for the wedding so Sewing 51 - Shopping 55.
