<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nI haven’t really been sewing anything for long time. Other issues have been more urgent and taken all of my attention and energy. Now I have to update my wardrobe. Last Autumn I sold and donated quite a lot of my vintage and other clothes. They didn’t fit or I didn’t feel them mine anymore. So my wardrobe desperately needs updating. It will be quite different compared to what I gave away. I am still staying with the vintage style, but will be leaning more towards the early 1900’s rather than 1940’s or anything newer than 1930’s. And I don’t feel so much the need of creating pure vintage style outfits anymore. I have now more courage to combine different styles and eras and perhaps even add some modern spices to it. Especially shoes are more often modern. I have realized that vintage shoes just very rarely fit my feet well. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the Spring, just before we moved, I got huge lot of vintage from my friend. She just wanted to get rid of it easily and did not wanted to just throw it away. So I said I can take it. I promised I would go through them and sort them properly. Some of them I sold, some of them I donated away. Local theater received quite many bags of clothes and shoes. Couple selected items I kept to myself. My plan is to alter them to patch some holes in my wardrobe. First of them I finished recently. This light brown skirt was originally full length, but unfortunately it was way too small from the waist. I enlargened the waist by cutting some length off from top. I opened the hem to get some length back and made new shaped waistband from black fabric. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Costumes from Colette movie<\/a> have been in my mind recently. So I didn’t have to think very hard when this skirt came to my hand. With white blouse and black jacket I can almost imagine being Keira Knightly or Colette<\/a>. However I like the black blouse better with the skirt. I made it originally for servant outfit, but I actually use it as everyday blouse. <\/p>\n\n\n\n En ole aikoihin ommellut juuri mit\u00e4\u00e4n. Muut kiireellisemm\u00e4t asiat on vieneet ajan ja energian melko tarkkaan. Nyt alkaa olla pakko p\u00e4ivitt\u00e4\u00e4 vaatekaappia. Viime syksyn\u00e4 myin ja lahjoitin pois paljon vintage- ja muita vaatteita, jotka eiv\u00e4t mahtuneet tai tuntuneet en\u00e4\u00e4 omilta. Siksip\u00e4 vaatekaappini kaipaa kipe\u00e4sti t\u00e4ydennyst\u00e4. T\u00e4ydennys tulee olemaan melko eri tyylist\u00e4 kuin vaatteet joista hankkiuduin… <\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.evildressmaker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/brownskirt1.jpg?resize=768%2C1024\")
