this was a christmas present for my other half M. (the quality of the pictures is not the best i have to admit). i saw this fabric in a fabric store months ago and even though it was a bit pricy i fell in love with it instantly. i've added corduroy arm patches and some navy fabric to the back side of the collar and cuffs. the 'labeling' was just for fun though! what i enjoyed most about making the shirt was attaching the buttons, not that they are any more special from the outlook than the ones you can buy in store but there is a little story to them. almost two years ago i bought a wooden sewing box at a fleamarket. there were all sorts of stuff in it, from needles to threat and buttons to old scissors. these items must be pretty old and i like to think that the box belonged to a lovely grandma sewing stuff for her grandchildren :) anyway, i found enough buttons in it to finish the shirt. there's even some leftover fabric which i might be able to use for making a skirt or something, yay!
and it is true that giving presents can be so much more satisfying than getting presents. the surprise on his face was just too cute :)

This is absolutely stunning. Even though the "quality" of the photographs isn't perfect - the coat still sings a beautiful tune.
