The Vivienne Westwood Riding Hood


As you all know already, I fell into a vat of superior wool-cashmere-silk mystery tweeds at my local op-shop (it's called Emmaüs here) and I also picked this poly-wool tartan that I paid €2. Slated to make a coat muslin, it turned out pretty good and I couldn't bear to throw it away so I lined it and made a reversible coat with it. The whole Vivienne Westwood Butterick 9214 saga is right here.


In more thrift shop tweed news, I did make that vest for MrC.


It'd be perfect if I had put the breast pocket on the left side which is the right side! The story is here.
