A coat

The pattern is from the Finnish sewing magazine Suuri Käsityökerho. It was relatively easy to sew, but I have admit I had huge problems in sleeve fitting. Fortunately I got brilliant advice from a prof how to do it at the end.  The sleeves were huge in size compared to the hole were they maent to be fitted...
I'm very pleased with the pattern, colour and the fitting, but my choice for the material could have been more for outerwear purposes. If it is very windy or rainy, you get cold in this jacket, so it is meant only for sunny and still sunny days.

Three little summer skirts

We had a splendid summer vacation in Provence, France, last summer. Can you imagine what pressure a woman can create herself when travelling to a country where women are worldwide known to be very elegant even in everyday basis? So I desided I needed at least new skirts for the trip. The pattern is from Ottobre, which seems to be my pattern library in every sewing project I do. The issue is 5/2007. This is one of the few skirt models fit me well. I just wonder how many times I will use it again in the future.

The material is from Marimekko outlet. I guess it was used in some of their collections.

Made from Estonian linen.

I got to admit sewing three similar skirts is very boring at the same time though easy and practical...
