"We are not leaving this house till the Morningstar dawns, and we want a coffee-punch, oh, yes, we do!"
 
This cheerful quote derives from a well-known Fanø-song, and these lines are song diligently and ALWAYS when there is a feast on Fanø. I have designed a bridal jacket that resembles the one that was worn in Sønderho (Fanø) in the old days. An insert has been knitted and it is located on the front of the chest, so the jacket looks as though something is softly hidden underneath. In the old days, a beautiful piece of silk was used as an insert.
