I’ve started the first garment of my #makenine2019! Top left corner … my jean jacket … … with a cool twist! I want it to look as close as possible to the one my Inspiration is wearing! (the lady on the left) I don’t want to use leather though and I can only assume what…

We had a lovely Easter long weekend here – the weather was even acceptable! I hope you had a lovely Easter too. I didn’t get much accomplished though, but I did manage to browse through some sewing blogs and IG feeds.

McCall’s M7093 – Don’t need buttons for this one …
… and I found the perfect buttons for my last project. But before I show them to you, let me show you what I made with the remnants of my paisley Topaz knit. I had some of this lovely fabric – 85% polyester, 10% rayon, 5% spandex – left over, just enough. I think I have made…
