I have never been able to find a Jeans jacket with long enough sleeves or long enough in the torso lengt in my size 😔😔. So why not sew my own with my style?
That’s what I’ve started on 😊🤩
Here I needed to pick up the top seam on the left shoulder and resew 1,5cm farther in on the shoulder 🤪. But it worked and made wonder!
The only thing left now is the zipper… I need a “jacket zipper” and I want a red one, just because I can.
I have used the legs from a pair of jeans and added decoration band, zippers and old T-shirts to make it longer. Like it and can just wait until the weather let’s me use it…
Just wanted to finish it. Not that I thought I would need one more 😆😆 but, I do need more than one bikini. Therefor will I sew a matching bikini buttom to this green top.
I am between sizes, the sizes you find in the stores 🤪 . Their for it’s easier to sew something that fits my body. Their for adjustment is nessesary. Try it on my body to know it fits and I dislike to go shopping and trying things on.
I sew to challenges myself to become better but also offcourse to be able to have clothing that fits my tall body!
I found another bikini top 😆 and going to finish that too, but this one will have a twist 😊.
To be 6’2 ( or 189cm) doesn’t come with just happiness just because I am tall, as most people are jealous on. No it comes with a lot more challenges. We who are taller than 5’10 have the challenges to find clothes long enough or fit all the other curvers, weight, longer upper torso than legs or the opposite. Not something we find in a normal clothing store! (It is easier to be shorter because you can shorten clothes than make one item longer!)
Most of my tall friends buy clothes in online stores that has started their own business just because they never found clothes for their body or in online stores that has been approached to get clothes for tall people. I do too, mostly for Jeans and sweaters.
Sewing is not just a hobby for me, as many of my friends and students asks. No it’s more than that! It is mostly to be able to get clothes my style and learn to sew 🧵✂️my wardrobe 😊. But it also is to save the planet. If we sew, we can choose the fabric. Use what we already have and redesign it into upcycling or choose naturally fabric we know is good for the environment!
Her will I give you some pictures from parts of the process of my 3rd #jeansskirt I’ve done.
This Jeans skirt took much longer time to sew then most other cloths I’ve done. Mainly because of my injuries in my coxxy last January. When it’s painful to sit for longer periods it’s hard to finish a project. But thanks to my seat-pillow (my xmas gift to myself) I have been able to sew so much more lately 😍😍. So now it’s the next project. Jogging pants made by sweaters “hoodies”.
