I finally finished my slow sewing project - my 2nd Pixie coat! Very happy with it. It’s not as colourful as the winter one I made, but I went for big feature buttons to make up for that 😆
It was surprisingly difficult to find buttons that would look right with the fabric. These match the lining though. They’re the only thing I bought new - the fabrics and threads are thrifted.
Some of you might remember that the fabric was used for 1980s Air NZ uniforms! It should last really well and is a nice weight for a summer coat.
(apologies for the poor photo quality- I didn’t dust the mirror enough!)
