Only in Germany...... the POTATO Festival!





Lately we have been disappointed with some of the events that we have attended whilst in Berlin. We were on a dry spell UNTIL Die Kartofeln Festival! Amongst the Grannies, kids and families elbows were out as we scavenged for worthy potatoes. A day full of potato harvesting, potato painting, potato stamping, potato eating, potato schnapps drinking.... and the list goes on. We even had a potato soup with none other then a long wurst sitting in it. Oh Germany.... you gotta love it. 

The jacket is a bit of an oldie....but still a goodie. I made it a few years ago and have always really loved it. It has a bit of a classic feel to it and I love wearing it with my black bow skirt and my Kleidermarkt Hamburg white blouse. I can ALWAYS see the flaws in this jacket, e.g. the section added at the front is a cover up for my dodgy ironing. When fixing the interfacing I applied too much heat and consequently gave it a bit of a warped look. It is definitely good to look back at your old sewing projects to see how much you have learnt and improved!

    Our brother said at dinner "you guys never smile on your blog"... congratulations on cracking the first smile.

    I think the imperfections of this jacket make it really special. I remember you showing me and dad when you first made it. I really like the colour palette of this outfit. The mint green looks lovely against the black.

    ......there was a LONG WURST SITTING IN YOUR SOUP? That's foul.
