Faux fur vest

The must-have faux fur vest...

I found this piece of faux fur on sale and it looked perfect for a warm and fashionable vest!

I made the pattern by measuring a jacket of mine for the back side and I improvised a little bit for the front side because I wanted the two front parts to be uneven, with the one part to be wider, covering the other part.

I cut the fur and assembled the pieces... and I added pieces from the left-overs to create the colar parts.

Under my Umbrella


Broken Umbrella into skirt


Winter is almost gone and what we're always left with (especially in Brussels), is winter blues and plenty of broken umbrellas. There's nothing I can do about the blues, but here's a fun way to recycle the umbrellas and create something really pretty!


Let's get rid of the metalic part by cutting carefully the strings and we iron the water-resistant cloth.


We make a hole in the centre and then we sew it with the sewing machine all around, so that we can pass the elastic all the way through.

 The skirt is ready in no-time and looks so nice!!!
