O desafio
desta semana do PR&P era fazer uma peça de roupa com riscas e bolas.Gosto muito
de tecidos com riscas mas adoro bolas, principalmente bolinhas pequeninas!
Numa das
minhas idas à Antiga Drogaria no verão passado, não resisti a trazer os dois
tecidos “vintage” que usei para as saias que fiz: um com bolas e outro com
riscas. Nem mais!
A saia da Inês já tinha sido feita no final do verão mas a da Teresa tinha ficado por
fazer por isso nada com juntar o útil ao agradável e assim as duas já podem
andar de igual.
O modelo foi,
mais uma vez, inspirado na saia basica de elastico na cintura da Dana mas aproveitei a dica para a execução do
cós dada no primeiro comentário do seu post. O acabamento, feito dessa forma,
fica realmente prefeito e, embora não seja muito intuitivo, é facílimo de
fazer.
Em vez de
fazer bainhas usei fita de viés azul escura (odeio fazer bainhas! Não sei se é
por serem quase sempre a última coisa que faço numa peça de roupa ou porque são
realmente difíceis de executar). Comprei a fita de viés numa retrosaria muito
velhinha em Cascais e achava que era antiga mas afinal soube que ainda se
fabrica. A grande diferença para as fitas de viés correntes é que esta é bem
mais fininha e é 100% algodão sem qualquer brilho, o que a torna muito mais
bonita. Além disso existem em cores lindíssimas.
Bom agora vou ter que começar a pensar no projeto da próxima semana. O tema é roupa de rapaz. Nunca fiz roupa de rapaz por isso vou ter que pensar numa forma de dar a volta ao assunto…
This week’s challenge at PR&P was to create a “stripes and polka dots” look.
I like fabrics with stripes, but I absolutely love polka dots!
On one of my visits to the Antiga Drogaria last summer, I could not resist the two vintage fabrics I used on the skirts I made for this week’s project: one with polka dots and one with stripes. Lucky me!

I made Ines’s skirt at the end of the summer but I didn´t have time (or patience…) to make one for Teresa. So I thought I could join”business with pleasure” and sew it now and this way they could dress alike.
The idea was, once again, inspired by Dana's simple skirt tutorial. But I followed the hint given on the first comment of the post to have the raw edges at the top inside the casing. This way the waistband gets perfectly finished (even if you don’t have a serger) and, although it is not a very intuitive technique, it is very easy to execute.
For both skirts’ hems I used dark blue bias tape (I just hate hemming! I do not know if it's because it’s almost always the last thing I do when I sew a piece of clothing or because it’s something that is really hard to make). I bought this bias tape in a very old haberdashery in Cascais and thought it was vintage but ultimately I knew that it is still in production. The big difference between this bias tape and the regular ones is that this one is much thinner and is 100% cotton with no glare at all, which makes it much more beautiful. And it comes in absolutely gorgeous colors.
Well, now I have to start thinking about next week’s project. The theme is boys clothing. I’ve never done anything for boys, as I have two daughters, so I will have use my imagination to solve this problem...

Very cute! I love the layered look and the blue bias tape is a perfect accent.
