The top is linen and made with the (free) peppermint wraptop pattern and the shorts are made from a damaged quilt I found at a charity shop. I was also able to make a bag, pair of dungarees, and a hat from this quilt! I did add pockets to the shorts but these patterns didn’t really need any altering. The bag is self drafted, just a slouchy backpack with a fron pocket and drink bottle holders.
That’s amazing, that seems like an intense project. How long did it take you? It must be so nice to live in something you built yourselves.
Building the initial shell to a liveable state (waterproof, internal cladding in main living space, plumbing, stove, lights etc) was about 3 months. We’ve done heaps since then though so it’s hard to say how many hours have gone into all the other projects and details. There are still things we want to do so i guess it will never be finished 😂 we love it and it’s really handy knowing how everything goes together so we can fix our own problems.
