YETI

Location / Occasion

I have a great friend, and she says "Let's go to this awesome place and take photos!" and I say "No, that's probably not possible" but then we do it anyway.
We visited an "abandoned" castle (it's not abandoned, people live there, but it has an abandoned look). If you know Swedish, here is a great article about it. We were amazed! And after speaking to the nice woman living there, we took some pictures in the garden.

Outfit

LOOK I MADE A THING! Yes, I made the coat myself, and it included a lot of guessing and improvising, but hah! I made something out of a blanket :D read more about it here.

DIY YETI fur coat! ...and update!

Helloooo!!
I've been very busy the last two months, with a lot of work and a lot in school, so no time for LB or the blog :(

...BUT! when I was working very hard at the book store around christmas, every day when I got home, I worked a little on my YETI FUR! I bought a sort of furry blanket for the Great Gatsby-paarty we had at the end of the summer, which I wore as a bolero or little jacket, just folded over the shoulders. After that I didn't want it in my apartment because it doesn't really fit in there, but I liked the fabric... HMMMM! So I thought I'd make a fur coat out if it :D I don't know how to sew, but I have a sewing machine, so I just tried and I'm really happy with the result!

YETI FUR COAT
Here is what I did:

I cut the pieces on the fur side so I was able to comb away the fur from the scissors, to keep as much fur as possible. The "vest" was all one piece, so I didn't have to sew them together. The blanket was exactly as wide as the vest part was supposed to be :D In the first picture you can see how the blanked looked before. (And I'm actually sitting on it in this outfit)

Sleeves!

 FINISHED!

If you have any questions about how I did it, please ask!

If you want to know what it looked like worn as a fur at the great gatsby party, here is a picture, and here is a blog post about it by Elsa Billgren (with more pictures!).
