Anyway let's have a look at projects I've made, worn and hadn't had time to post about, shall we? First this green acrylic fur coat that I brought to my winter trip to Taïwan - it's been five times and I LOVE this country more and more! Also the weather isn't that cold but this year temperatures were around 15 degrees celsius so I was happy I had my little coat. It's a raglan sleeve, boxy shape from a sewing magazine called "Couture actuelle" in French:
Here's my version, the "fur" is really cheap but it looks okay IMO:

For this trip I also made this fur sweater, crafted from hairs that I painstakingly harvested from my cat Miwa:
Lol of course I'm joking, the fur is acrylic too but I thought it looked just like her and was obsessed with making myself a garment out of it! This sweater also has raglan sleeves -it's easier to sew for me because it doesn't require any alterations for my rounded back and forward shoulders- and a little standing collar, the pattern is from some old German sewing magazine from my mum's archives and I wore this thing almost everyday, it's super comfortable and warm!
For something a little more recent I've just finished this periwinkle blue top, the fabric is light lawn and the pattern is from the February 2015 Burdastyle magazine:
Love the faux fur coats. I have a piece of faux fur on my sewing table at the moment and there is always a cat on it. Your cat would disappear if she laid on your 2nd coat. I knew exactly what you meant by Gospel top. It is very similar to the robes worn by some choirs. Enjoy your time off , as much as you can, with all that is happening. Unfortunately I can work from home.
