This dress cost me... close to nothing?... to make. I got the fabric at the lovely Maybach Ufer Market in Berlin for a couple of euros, and since the fabric is kind of see-through, I used some old bed linens as lining. Worked like a charm. I'm usually pretty sloppy when it comes to the insides of my garments but this time, I put some effort into making the inside neat and pretty and I'm actually really happy with the result. It feels different to wear and it has a heavy, lovely feel to it. It'll probably be a huge favourite once the snow (yes SNOW cazzo!) melts away and spring arrives. I'm thinking this and my beloved golden bike. Ah, can't wait.
This used to be a favourite sweater of mine, bought at COS last year. Since I'm always overly optimistic when it comes to washing knitted pieces, I've shrunk quite a few and I was extremely annoyed with myself when I did the same to this one. It really was waaay to small, but I couldn't bring myself to throw it away. Good thing I didn't, cause today I turned it into a hat and a pair of mittens. It took about 5 minutes. I can highly recommend this for anyone else in the habit of shrinking stuff.
Have a lovely Thursday!
