Humming pants

Need püksid läksid mulle maksma 0.50 €, niiet praktiliselt puhta muidu. Hiljem alles avastasin, et neid on lubatud pesta vaid keemilises puhastuses. Õnneks triikida neid siiski võib. Trükkisin ükshaaval väikesed valged koolibriid peale ja naksasin sääred maha. Nüüd on vaja veel need valged koivad päiksest pruuniks saada.

I got these pants for 0.50 €, so basically nothing. And, to my surprise, I can dry clean them only.. and iron. We’ll see what happens. I printed the small white hummingbirds one by one and cut them shorter. Now I have to tan those white legs of mine.

A grey pair of trousers and a vest to match

Teine osa ühest järjekordsest kooli projektist, mis algas pimedal talvel lõigetest ja lõppes kevadel vesti ja pükstena. Õnneks oli kliendil ka kooli lõpetamine suvel ees, nii et kappi seisma jäämise ees see komplekt kartma ei pidanud.
Vesti seljatagune on samuti põhimaterjalist.
Pildistamise ajaks on aga riideid juba mõnda aega kantud ja pükste tagatasku on jõudnud kumerustega harjuda, sellest ka kerge lainetus.

Another part of the school project that started in the darkest period of winter from patterns and ended up as a vest and trousers in the spring. Fortunately my client had a graduation ahead so the suit didn’t have to be afraid of being left in the closet.
The back of the vest is also from the main fabric.
After all this wearing the back pocket has gotten used to some curves and waves a little while being on a hanger.

I’m finally finished with the first pair of trousers for myself!

The fabric was found from a grate in Kangadžungel. Someone had cut a piece from the middle of the fabric, leaving a hole from which you could stare through. It seemed quite odd but my heart was stolen by the colour of maple leaves in autumn. It works like quite a camouflage.

So I bought it. Secretly wishing someday they’d become trousers.

Since I didn’t have an overlock until today, I had to dress most of the seam allowances. It is a lot of work but I tend to see it as an opportunity to get better at seams that require precision.

I took my father and sisters camera and together we headed to a nearby park to make some pictures to post here.

Enjoy.
