Well, let's start with the inspiration for this theme. First of all, I love the winter season! As you can see we sure were treated with a lot of snow and ice over the last 5 years.
Now to capture this into a garment, I happened to have the perfect heavy knit in my stash. An icy blue woolly fabric. I decided to make another sleeveless hooded vest, just because I love layers in clothing, especially in winter. The seams of the vest are put on the outside and the edges are unfinished for an even warmer and more woolly look.
The pants (small fry skinny jeans) are made as a test for titchy threads in a grey stretch denim with black topstitching. I love these jeans! You can read the full blogpost about these jeans here.
And because it's raining outside, we created our own winterfun for the photoshoot.
Mooi, prachtige kleuren!

ReplyDeleteThank you Emily, no I didn't use a pattern for the top, it's self drafted, but I'm planning on making a tutorial :)
