Thank you all!  Smiley

I really can't decide what to do with the leftover-leather... Mayde a bag, or some accesories..? Well, it can rest on my drawer as long as it takes Smiley
2  CLOTHING / Clothing: Completed Projects: Reconstructed / Spring jacket from old leatherjacket and a new curtain! on: March 17, 2013 01:33:58 AM
So, I had this old leather jacket that I bought from the fleamarket vouple years ago. It fitted me well, but it made me look like a Gestapo agent, because of the leather... I didn't use it much.

One day I was bored. Then it came to me; I should take the jacket apart, not surely knowing what to do with it Cheesy So I did, and it layed in pieces in the dresser where I store my fabrics and projects for couple of weeks.

Day before yesterday, I was at the generalstore, and saw curtains on sale. There was one with a quite cute desing so I bought it. And on my way home, I got the idea of making a jacket out of it, with the pattern made from the leatherjacket.

So here it is!


I had to do some alterations to the pattern, making it more simple. It has a padded lining that came from the leather jacket, I only made it little shorter. I left also the original tag on it, it's a fun detail Smiley


Also the buttons were from the old jacket


Here's a detail on the sleeve


C&C are welcome! Smiley
3  HOME SWEET HOME / Crafty Housewares: Completed Projects: Reconstructed / Saving the scratched couch! on: November 27, 2012 11:25:20 AM
My cats... They love our sofa! That's unfortunate, since the sofa was quite expensive and they've done some ugly things to it in a relatively short time.

Since we have renewed our livingroom, I got tired of the rugged-lookin couch. I had to do something.
 
Here it is, a close-up of the arm, it was way more shredded than it looks:


And here, in it's new glory!


It kinda reminds me of a Cadillac, and I love it! <3 Simple, yet effective Smiley
4  COOKING / Dessert / Re: Homemade Pulla! Yummy on: February 27, 2012 11:37:12 AM
Awww, how cute! I'm from Finland and was quite suprised when the word pulla came up Cheesy
My favorite kind of pulla, or bun, is a "voisilmäpulla" roughly translated as buttereyebun Cheesy It's the same as these, but before putting in the oven you push a little hole on the top of the pulla and put little piece of butter on it and fine sugar too. Extra yummy!
And other variation is "korvapuusti", kinda cinnamonbun. Again, the dough is the same, but this time you roll the dough to flat, and apply thin layer of butter on it. After that, you sprinkle al lot of cinnamon and sugar on the dough. Next step is to roll the dough to a thick stick and cut onto slightly triangular parts. Last, you take the pulla and turn it to its wide side, push flat. Then sprinkle sugar on top and into the oven! Smiley

Haven't eaten a strawberry-pulla, so can't help with that. Smiley And sorry about my poor explanations, as my english is not the best...  Tongue

Haha, I love this!
My mom took a bichon-puppy not so long ago, and I'd like to do something funny for him as a christmaspresent. Maybe nunchucks would be that thing!
6  HOME SWEET HOME / Crafty Housewares: Completed Projects: Reconstructed / A new cover for old footstool. on: August 21, 2011 08:09:18 AM
We had this ugly as hell matress-footstool-thingy (does that make sense?) and our three cats did terrible things to its cover. (In the pic is one of the suspects, Mato.) You can see the vomit-like colour and texture from the 80's. *shivers*


But, becaude it's a must-have at our place (spare bed u know) I decided that I won't throw it out the balcony. So, it waited like 6 months naked on our floor, collected a huge amount of cathair every week and I lost my sanity vacuuming-cleaning it. I almost gave up. Then I realized, it needs a cover that doesn't collect all the cathair from entire apartment and is cool-looking too. And the result is;


Faux leather! This is soooo easy to clean, I don't have to vacuum-clean it, just wipe it with a cleaningcloth! I added a metal-zipper so it can be easily removed when we need the sparebed. Smiley

Thanks for looking, c&c are welcome!
And sorry again about the bad grammar...

Thanks everyone! Got some new pics in action, but can't put them here yet.... One of my cats bit the usb-cord to pieces, again. *sigh* Won't he ever learn? Won't I ever learn to hide all cords for night... Apparently we won't. But, I'll buy a new one so you'll have a better look at this skirt and maybe some other things, too. Smiley
