Havanna Blouse de Cali Faye

More pink. This is my second non selfish sewing of the year.  Last night I continued using the same fabric I posted about yesterday. This is the second time for me using one of the Cali Faye Collections’s patterns. The other one can’t be shared yet because I need to redo it all. This is…

Bo Top

He cambiado bastantes cosas en mi vida en los últimos meses, y he cosido bastante poco. O más bien nada hasta ahora. Recientemente he hecho dos tops de la revista online Seamwork, mi fuente de patrones favorita,  dado lo sencillo de los diseños y el precio si eres suscriptor. Como llevaba tiempo sin hacer nada,…

Pantacas Landers

Esta entrada es sobre el patrón de pantalones Lander de la diseñadora True Bias. A la tercera va la vencida. Primero construí estos pantacas en un chambray de origen desconocido que me regaló una amiga, después hice unos lander cortos en un Twill verdoso que me regaló la misma amiga (solo conozco a una costurera)….

Jumpsuit Butterick 6312

I saw this pattern in What Katie Sews blog and then I kept an eye on IG for a while, my favorite versions were @whatkatiesews and @_southlandcurve. I am now totally copying them. This is my first ever used jumpsuit. The fabric is an Ikat I bought in John Lewis for the purpose of this pattern….

Sapporo Coat

Este era uno de mis proyectos de antes de Navidad 2017. Luego pasó a ser unos de los #makenine2018, así que ya me quedan 8. Además del #makenine2018 también me he apuntado al #sewmystyle2018 pero de momento está siendo desastroso ya que no encuentro el momento de ponerme a cortar las telas. Bueno, a lo que…

Garamond Top

  I am so in love with this make. This Garamond top was released at the end of Summer 2017 and I managed to make it for winter, totally inappropriate. But all the best so I can make a bunch of them for next summer.It was a joy to make once I decided to put…

Kyoto Sweater Weekend

So this was my weekend. Kyoto Sweater, pattern by Paper cut patterns, happened over the weekend. It took a couple of late nights after the kids went to bed and three episodes of the Night Manager. I used the softest thinnest jersey with wool that I bought last year in a sale for the Moneta…

Dos Sudaderas Linden

  These are the two Linden Sweatshirts that I made earlier in the year. They are my weekly staples and I don’t know what am I waiting for to make a couple more? The only negative about this wardrobe essential is the size of the neck collar piece, it should be longer and wider. The…

Vestido Wren de Florecitas

n Today I am posting to participate in a sewing group I have just discovered. I am sharing my third, and last! Wren dress by Colette. I am not happy with the result because I think the overlapping pieces of the front body don’t suit my ‘front’ and the whole thing creeps up from too…

Rumi pattern by Christine Haynes

I have made four Rumies this Summer, but I still want to have one of each colour. The Rumi pattern is asuper useful piece for any wardrobe. The first I have made is one in a navy viscose that I bought in John Lewis (a big store) in Cambridge. On this ocasion I made the dress version but…

Grabrielle dress from Seamwork

I have sewn lots of clothes lately. In the summertime, if I wanted to, I could wear a me made everyday. I have managed to make one or two items a month in 2017. I don’t post about them, mainly, because I don’t have decent photos. I don’t have anyone willing to take 50 shots…

Laurel Dress

I bought the printed version of this dress last year but it has taken me forever to succeed with the Laurel Dress . I didn’t find the right fabric for it and then I had a spillage of film developing chemicals over a bag that contained the papper pattern among other things and had to…
