Ed gave
me brand new sewing machine as a wedding gift, so far I
only use it once to trim the shower curtain. It’s about time to use it some
more.
Since I moved here in Dordrecht and got to know how “weird”
the daily weather can be (imagine, 5 minute sunny and the next 5 minutes
raining heavily.. pheww) I started the quest of finding a light
cardigan/jacket, that can be double with coat without making myself look like
bulky wiener.
Online shopping in NL? Hmmmm.. not sure they have petite
size and I still have that mini heart attack everytime I see price tag on
clothing here.. *sweat*
Buy from online shop in Indonesia? Errr.. the shipping cost
is more expensive than the clothing price
Solution: make your own jacket!

I use McCall waterfall jacket pattern (pic of McCall) that I
ordered from here but made alteration on the sleeve
size. Overall I only use sleeve, and bodice pattern.
The waterfall part of the jacket, I lined it with the same
fabric since the wrong side wasn’t the same as the right side.
Total price: 21 euro
Fabric: 5 euro
Pattern: 16 euro
Not bad at all..
