It’s a cold, windy and just a little bit rainy day outside – you know just the perfect day for staying inside, sewing with a good conscience. In Norway we don’t have that many sunny days, so when we do you kinda feel you have to take advantage of it.

But today I’m cutting out my fabric, and feeling the promise of an new garment. It’s a new start and I’m loving it.

I just hope I have chosen the right fabric. It’s a quite soft heavyweight cotton, but it has some hold to it. It also fringe a little bit too easily, so I think I’ll stay stitch the whole coat.
