Gobeläänseelik/The tapestry skirt

Pikalt olen otsinud ilusat gobeläänkangast, kuid poodi minnes olen pidanud pettuma. Lõpuks leidsin kanga, mis on päriselus ehk veel ilusamgi kui pildil. Et kanga muster kaotsi ei läheks, tegin temast kõige lihtsama pliiatsseeliku ja et lihtsusega lõpuni minna, õmblesin luku kõige lihtsamal kombel seeliku peale. Esimest korda sellist tehnoloogiat kasutades oli raske uskuda, et nii lihtsalt ja julmalt see just käibki.

I’ve been longing for a beautiful tapestry fabric and I finally got my hands on one. Many times I’ve found good looking tapestry fabrics online but  been disappointed seeing them in person.. well, this one looks even better in real life! To let the fabric shine I decided to make a very simple skirt and ended up with a pencil skirt for a change. I was my first time sewing the visible zipper on top of the fabric like this. It was quite difficult to make something so simple for a change (not that sewing an invisible zipper is hard but the technology is different).

Autumn on my sewing plate

Kuigi vihmaga on tulnud ka juba rahet, olen ma endiselt veel sügistoonide lainel. Ja kuigi pole ma suuremat sorti punase armastaja, siis sel sügisel on pisut teisiti.. vaid kuldne imbub sisse nagu tavaliselt.

Although we’ve already had hail, autumn is still on my sewing plate. I have surprised myself as I’m not a big fan of red but it seems this year is a bit different.. only the gold tones are here as usual.
