For my new spring coat, originally uploaded by lille-ursus.
I need a new coat for the windy spring days and cold summer evenings.
I have always loved stripes, and stripes it was. I really wanted the fabric to look in a different way - the bottom was supposed to be navy blue and the stripes white. But that combination was nowhere to be found on the day I needed it....
For now I have red buttons, but I can't make up my mind whether it is going to be another color. Orange or yellow could be cool too. Or purple.
A pattern has not been found yet, either. I'm still searching.....roughly I know what I want. And I do have a couple of patterns in reserve should I not find what I want.
The length of the coat is going to be no longer than to my knees, I don't want a hat on it, I want pockets and some other funny details.
Lyder spændende...jeg har stof liggende klar til yngstebarnets forårsjakke, men som du mangler jeg også grund-idéen til den helt rigtige jakke....men, jeg nærmer mig :-)
ReplyDeleteJeg glæder mig til at se dit resultat.

I look forward to seeing the coat when you finally find the right pattern, or one of the reserves...I love the red buttons. I'd love to make a nice coat for myself too but haven't seen any pattern the "grabs me". It has to be just right, doesn't it...
ReplyDeleteBright red buttons will be perfect!
