Sewing Project: Winter Coat.

I went through a very long progress with this coat. 

Mostly because it's the biggest and most difficult project I've ever attempted to do. 

I probably started thinking about it 7 months ago and I finished it this afternoon. 

It's quite intimidating to work with that much expensive fabric, 

because with every stich you're afraid you ruin the whole thing.

The grey speckled woolen fabric and the fake fur is from butinette, the rest of the material is from a really cool fabric store in Nürnberg.
All in all I paid about 30 to 40 € for the fabric and thread. 

Not too bad if you think about store-pricings for coats. 

I'd say it took me 7-8 hours "physical work" to make this 

apart from thinking about the design and construction of the pattern. 

The coat is definitely not perfectly sewn or anything, 

but I did it all myself and that makes me super proud. 

There will be some properly styled pictures soon!

Project: Bomberjacket.

You may or may not have seen the outfit I wore when I was in Strasbourg (here). 

The jacket was another sewing project. 

I used the same pattern as for the grey bomber/college jacket and some thrifted fabric with this cool palm tree pattern. I've had the fabric for quite a while now, but never really knew what to use it for. I didn't wanted to sew something that was full on green and covered in palm trees. 

But I'm very happy with how the jacket turned out. 

The cream knitted fabric was a left over from pillow-sewing. All in all the material costs for the jacket are around 7€ and it took me about 3-4 hours to make it. 

The only problem I have is that I'm not sure what to wear it with other than an all black outfit. Turns out I do not own any cream or in general warm colored clothes that would work with the jacket.

Project: Raincoat.

As I already mentioned my dream is to study fashion design. 

Creating something, the progress from just an idea to a finished product is so fascinating to me. 

Here's one of those "products". 

I've always found it hard to find a raincoat that would perfectly fit and look how it want it to,

 so I decided to sew my own.

I was really lucky to find the perfect fabric for only 2,50€/m here.

so in the end I paid about 5 € for this coat and it took me about 3-4 h sewing. 

I'm already excited to share my next project with you guys.
