The coat

The coat is finally finished. It turned out great. I was gonna wear to a funeral and I managed to finish it on time but I ended up wearing something else.

I love the coat and it kind of gives Harry Potter vibes. It's nice and warm and will be prefect for fall and winter. I made it from a pattern I took from a coat I found in a second hand store. That really is the best way to grow your collection of patterns. It's easy, you got the seam allowance and you know it fits you. 

I made coat from black flannel and a burgundy shiny lining. I put only one clasp as closing so the clothes underneath will show.  

Pinned and ready

Had a full day today with fixing company papers and meetings.

After that I started pinning together a coat that's been laying around for months now. I got most of the pieces pinned. I also cut and pinned the parts for the back lacing. So tomorrow I can start sewing. Finally. 

I love that coat pattern. I took it from a coat I found in a second hand store. Taking apart old clothes and using them as pattern is just the best and you know they will fit.

It can also be a good way to make your fast fashion clothes not end up in some landfill. Give them an extended life as a pattern for new clothes. 

Vacation almost over

I have a few days of vacation left. I spent my vacation, from my regular job, working in our own company. Making live events, visiting customers and organizing the warehouse. 

I was also able to squeeze in a few days of cleaning and decluttering our house as well. Swedish deathcleaning for the win. I'm swedish and this has been a thing here for ages but I was very surprised when I saw that that concept has become very popular even outside of sweden. It is a bit morbid and dark but it really works. 

It is basically you go through your stuff and throw away or donate what you don't use or need. So when you pass away your loved ones don't have to deal with a ton a stuff. 

There are so many youtube videos that explain it and you get to see the creators process when utilizing this method.
