PROJECT RUN AND PLAY . CANDY

Com a Teresa a começar a sua vida escolar e dois projectos de arquitectura para terminar nunca pensei em apresentar uma roupa inspirada no tema desta semana do PR&P.
Mas depois lembrei-me que a saia que fiz para o primeiro dia de escola da Teresa tinha as mesmas cores vibrantes dos chupa-chupas coloridos.

With Teresa starting elementary school at the beginning of this week and two architectural projects to finish, I never thought I would be posting today about an outfit inspired on a Candy, this week’s theme at PR&P.
But then I remembered that the skirt I made for Teresa’s first day of school had the same vibrant colors of the colorful big lollipops.

As fotografias formam tiradas hoje às sete e meia da tarde! Foi mesmo sessão fotográfica de última hora! O sol já se estava a pôr e as cores do tecido ficaram alteradíssimas. Em fim…
Mas a saia foi feita, com mais calma, a semana passada. Usei um dos fantásticos tecidos que comprei em Copenhaga e o molde Spin Skirt da Elegance & Elephants.
A saia é divertida e prática. O molde é impecável e inclui ainda um top com bolsos “bubble” que tenho absolutamente que fazer para as minhas filhas.
Devo admitir que fiz um falso laço no cós. Estava com pressa e assim a saia ficou feita num ápice mas, da próxima vez, vou seguir as instruções à risca!

Although I’ve finished the skirt last week, the photos were taken today at seven-thirty in the afternoon! It was really a last minute photo shoot! The sun was setting and the fabric colors are definitely not the real ones. Well, sometimes things just don’t go our way...
Not much to say about the skirt except that I love it! The fabric was bought in Copenhagen (finally I got the courage to cut my special fabrics!) and the pattern is the wonderful Spin Skirt by Elegance & the Elephants.
The skirt is fun and practical. The pattern and its instructions are impeccable and also include a lovely bubble pocket top I absolutely have to make for my daughters.
I have to admit that I was lazy and made a false tie at the waist band. This way the skirt came out super quickly but I will fallow all instructions next time!
