For our
summer vacation in Belgium we urgently need to expand our amount of long sleeve clothes.
We already showcased the hoody for Felix.
Meanwhile
also the girls got their version of the hoody from Stof-voor-Doe-het-Zelvers.
We added a zipper by cutting the front
panel in two parts and made some small changes to the pattern, this to adjust
the hood a little.
To avoid
unhappy kids who never want to wear their hoody –like Felix- the girls choose the
fabric their selves.
It was my job
to find a reversible zipper in a flashy color. I know I can’t find them on the
local market so searched the internet. Nevertheless we didn’t find what we
wanted online either, until we found this web shop. Custom made zippers! I
sometimes get seduced to do inordinate sewing related purchases; nevertheless I
stayed in my right mind this time, 10,75 US$ for a single zipper exclusive of
shipment costs is over the edge even for me!
So our
completely reversible jackets are finished with normal open end nylon coil
zippers.
The girls are
ready for a Belgian summer and are looking forward to cooler weather.
