Needles & yarn
Notes

……trying hard to get an Oscar nomination!

This coat dates back to the early eighties, when I used to manufacture models with extremely thin needles & very thin yarn, - this one is in fact right from the supermarket & mostly acrylic, couldn´t afford to buy decent qualities back then-, just to keep me busy. The coat is flower-decorated & embroidered with beads & lightly contrasted yarn around the shoulders & was very stylish at the time & still is, if you restage it with modified different accessoires.

I show it off here first as an elegant extravagant coat & couldn´t resist, giving it a hieppie-look too in the- hidden-secret-version……so, you see, every piece you fix with love & passion can get another chance in life & you yourself along with it, drag your old stuff out of the closet, let it breathe a little & rise it from the dead, it´s a lot of fun to reuse & honor efforts&spirits of the past!
