I sew. I would like to say I sew a lot, but sadly that wouldn’t be true. I sew a fair amount though, and a variety of items from bags to aprons to dolls to puffs, my current favourite! I’ll sew pretty much anything I fancy or I’m asked to, but… I have never ever sewn clothes.
In 2010 (or was it 2011), I had a new year resolution to make myself a skirt. Turns out new year resolutions were boo and that never happened. This year I’m setting monthly goals which is really working for me; as a result, July seems to be the month which will see me sew my first piece of (hopefully) wearable clothing.
A Friday evening at the bookshop and I came home with two books. I knew which item I’d sew first before I left the shop – a tunic. That Saturday I found the adorable fabric above and it was magic! Even though my original plan was to use a light coloured fabric, the minute I saw those white flamingos on navy… Yep, you know what happened!
Let the fabric cutting begin!
Adorei o tecido, é lindo! Vai ficar uma saia linda, de certeza!Eu ando com uma saia de linho para acabar… desde 2011… está a meio…
I can imagine you wearing it already. Good luck with this project LMJ! Simple, stylish, classic, yet making me smile because of the pattern: it will be lovely, thats what I know for sure 🙂
que emoção!! depois mostras a saia sim?
Então é uma saia ou uma túnica? 🙂
Naná, ei! kumpel e Joana – vai ser uma túnica. A minha primeira ideia de roupa há mais de três anos foi fazer uma saia, mas essa ideia esmoreceu e foi substituída este ano por uma túnica :)Muito obrigada pelo incentivo e quando estiver pronta, coragem permitindo, mostrá-la-ei!:)Cococita: thank you for the support on everything I do. Youre such an inspiration to me!! xx
This fabric is so cute! Im trying to sew at least one thing a month and that has been a fun and achievable goal for me. :)P.S. I cant wait to see how your Sorbetto top turns out too!
