I’m finally back! After a long year of waaaay too much work and not ANY sewing I’m super excited to start sewing and blogging again. I have lots of new projects in the works that I want to share!
To start with I’ve moved and have gotten to redo my sewing room. But it’s not completely done yet but I’ll post about it soon. I’m just waiting for something to come in the mail so I can finish the latest touch ups.
If anyone remembers I left a big cliff-hanger in my last post. Well I finally finished that project this week and here it is:
Retro Jacket
I found the fabric in a second hand store and used a pattern in Burda Easy Fashion E973 from 2008. In the magazine they made it out of a fleece fabric so it was a bit difficult to adapt to the fabric I was using. One of the reasons it took a year (!!) to finish.
Speaking of Burda, I started my vacation today and what better way to start out by looking through these:
Inspiration
I’ve also been checking out Craftgawker a lot. So great for inspiration!

That fabric is pure awesomeness! Interesting spin on the original design…maybe a fake fur collar could spice it up more? Or maybe that would be too much…hard to tell how much groove it takes to go over the top.
Keep up “retrofying” the world!!!
