Alpi trousers and a refashioned blouse à la Indiana Jones
I managed to grab literally the last Alpi trousers pattern from Named clothing. I was lucky since I had planned on making these trousers for a while.

Anyway, I like the basic look of these trousers. They are quite masculine, pretty loose and have a bit lower waistline than in most of the trousers I have lately made. I got some nice army green cotton sateen in a nice bargain from Materials, Helsinki. The fabric has a tiny bit…
Robot shirt and a hat (Ottobre 4/2018 19. and Ottobre 4/2012 41.)
