It's raining and we've got a new coffee pot! When we just moved in here for 4 years ago, our coffee percolator broke down, we were looking everywhere to find a new, but it is hard to find a percolator you kan use on a wood stove. Most were they only on electricity. So therefor we made our coffee in a small saucepan, boil the water and add the coffee, cook for 5 min and enjoy! This worked very well but when you get visitors, it is not that nice that you also get a lot of coffee grounds in your cup.
I love the old fashioned enamel coffeepots and cups and now I have bought one. With a percolator piece in it. It looks lovely on the stove, don't you think?
It
becomes colder again, Sander (my husband) has need for some new warm winter clothing.
I bought
corduroy for it.
For the
pants I used a pattern that I bought some years ago.
‘Laughing
Moon’, #106 California
It was the
fourth pair of trousers I made. Every time they got better. But this was the
first time I did al the sewing on my treadle sewing machine.
I bought this very beautiful machine for 2
years ago but there were some pieces dried out and broken down, so I could not use
it. But one friend I have, find the broken piece in a old fashioned sewing shop
in Germany
After drawing
and cutting the pattern, I did the
sewing. I bought waxed cotton (quilting) tread, this worked very well on the
machine. All the seams I whip stitched by hand to prevent fraying.
Next I made
a jacket, also in corduroy (also on the old sewing machine J). I never made a jacket before, nor had I
pattern I could use, but I had a old shirt my husband didn’t wear anymore. That
I used some basic pattern and made some changing’s. I made two darts in the
back panel and curved side seams. I
think, the jacket turned out very well. Of course are there thing’s I would do
different next time but I’m happy how it turned out, and my husband also J.
Next I want
to made a waistcoat in the same style and I need to make at least two new
shirts.
