Hupputakki Genovassa / Spring coat in Genoa

Äiti ompeli mulle uuden kevättakin. My mum sew me a new spring coat.

Se on tosi kiva. I like it a lot.


Siinä on huppu... It has a hood...


... ja hihatasku... and a pocket in the sleeve...


... ja hyljetasku. and a pocket with a seal.


Se ei ole ehkä kovin käytännöllinen, koska se on valkoinen ja käsinpestävä. It might not be very practical, cause it's white and needs to be washed by hand.'


Mutta se on loistava takki tyylikkääseen kaupunkiflaneeraukseen Genovassa. But it's the perfect coat for smart citywandering in Genoa.



fabrics: old (the green one) from fleamarket in Rauma, Finland and new (the white one) from Eurokangas, Helsinki
pattern: my own

I love the way the old and the new work together. And I think the shape of the hood and the fun pockets create a kind of playfulness that really finishes off the jacket beautifully. Wonderful!!!
