february eighteen
sage grid button down coat
this piece is the epitome of nykamping: unique, one of a kind, quality finishes, gender neutral, one size fits most & created from pre-loved locally sourced textiles – it truly is a tent for your body
the core february intentions:
/ trying new skills
/ striving towards high quality finishings
/ falling in love with color & patterns
/ learning & researching
/ completing put off projects & designs
here’s to avoiding grid patterns no more! aligning lines takes time, patience & some wrangling of the fabric to make things match up – definitely a new skill that pays off in both look & function
my experimentation with bias tape continues, making my own bias tape from the textiles used for a seamless, high-end finish on the collar; other seams have french seams & felled french seams with topstitching
bias tape was sourced secondhand
