Tag: Wool coat

Upcycling, Re-design wool coat and a pillow case.

The last two weeks have I had one main sewing project. The wool coat. Upcycling and redesigning it to become more me and my style.  I am not done yet but here are the process.

The wool coat.
Picking up all seams on the pillow case.
Trying out how it will look.
Needling up the fabric.
Sewed this part.
Sequins… sewed it on my sewing machine and broke 3 sewing needle’s 😆😆😆
Hand stitching the inside of the collar.
Picking up the seam on the coat arm, a bit to short for me.
Hand stitching it during 2 hours April 27th.
Finished the hand stitching on the arm length.

Today’s task will be;

To sew this so approxy 1cm is visible for the eye and the rest covered when it’s not in use.

This last picture is the back side of the wool coat.

I hope I will be able to hand stitch the left arm length part today (April 28th). I haven’t decided if I am going for plain black or plain purple fabric from the pillow case yet.

I will hand stitch the loose decorations on the sholder.  Here are what I did before I went to sleep yesterday (April 27th) ;

One with fabric and the other plain black
Or should I have sequins on the other?

I was thinking to do something on those two too… but I think it’s to much work.

What to do on a Sunday…

…when the back is sad. Well I have been fried meatballs and chops in the oven while I have spooled bobbin thread for all future sewing projects.

And now when the food is done I’m going to pop up the elastic band in a skirt that has worn too little 😆😆 or I’ve gained weight since I bought it 😆😆. And then I will reuse it in a wool coat after ❤Mom❤.

I do want to go to Church but my back is not in a good shape 😔😔 so I’ll stay home and being creative.

While I’m doing this I’ll be listening to preaching whether it’s on youtube or podcast it remains to be seen 😉. Anyway is it a big chance the Lord gives me something I need.

I have learned the last ten years, that I need to listen to my body first no matter what my head wants and I have peace for that I stay home some Sundays. Even if I both like and enjoy go to Church and trying to find new friends I just have to take it as it comes. 😉. And the Lord will still be with me wherever I am, home or at Church.

I am thankful for this weekend, I’ve managed much more than I thought I would. 😊.

Enjoy your Sunday wherever you are and let the Lord be a part of what you are doing. ✝️💒🙌🙏.
