I’m so excited today! It has been a few months since the beginning of Mailbox Surprise series and we finally get to see the result of our fabric swap. I think this will be fun and lots of very well dressed kids will pop up around here…
Adorei o tecido que a Marte me enviou por isso resolvi fazer
algo que, tenho a certeza, vai ser usado muitas e muitas vezes. Tinha que ser
uma peça de roupa simples e igual para as minhas duas filhas (nos fins de
semana gosto de as vestir “de manas” e já percebi que a roupa que as duas têm
igual é muito mais usada)
Como o tecido tinha 1.50m de largo era suficiente para fazer
duas camisas de manga curta e, com sorte, ainda me sobraria algum para um pormenor
noutro projecto. (Sobrou!)
Aproveitei o caderno que vinha a acompanhar o tecido para
começar a esquiçar a minha ideia. Depois medi as miúdas, peguei no papel
vegetal e nos meus moldes tipo e pus mãos à obra para desenhar o molde final. As I loved the fabric Marte sent me, I had to sew something that would be worn again and again. It had to be a simple and practical piece of clothing and it had to be alike for my two daughters (on weekends I like to dress them as "little sisters" and I have already realized similar clothes get a lot more use.)With 1 meter of 1.50m wide fabric I had just enough material to make two short-sleeved shirts. P.S. - Actually I got lucky and had a bit left over after finishing the shirts. Hurray!
I picked my new notebook (also send by my friend Marte) and sketched my idea. Then, after measuring my daughters, with the help of my sample patterns, I drafted the final patterns (size 6 for Teresa and 4 for Ines.)
Usei o tecido Belga em toda a camisa mas, para não o
desperdiçar, forrei-a com um pouco de tecido liso cor-de-laranja que tinha cá
em casa. Como não encontrei vivo com a cor que queria acabei por faze-lo eu
mesma com cordão e fita de viés. Pensei que fosse mais difícil mas é realmente
bastante fácil.
The Belgian fabric is the shirts’ main fabric but, as I didn´t want to waste it, the linen is made out of plain orange fabric from my stash. My local shop didn’t have piping in the right color for these shirts so I made it myself with bias tape and cord. You know what? It was a lot easier to make than I thought.
As camisas são simplicíssimas e práticas. As miúdas gostaram
imenso delas (mais pelo colorido do tecido, claro!) e eu também. Ficam impecáveis
com jeans e podem ser usadas no inverno com uma camisola gola alta ou no verão
sem nada por baixo.
Espero que tenham gostado! Para a semana passem por cá (ou
pelo blog Compagnie M.) e vejam a criação da An do blog Straight Grain. Vai valer
a pena!The shirts are super simple and wearable. Just what I wanted! My girls liked them a lot (more for the colorful fabric, of course) and I think they look adorable on them. During winter time I know I will pair their new Belgian shirts with basic pink turtlenecks and jeans and for summer time they can wear these shirts by themselves with lighter pants or skirts.
I hope you liked my creation! Don’t forget to stop by next week (or head over Compagnie M.) and check out An’s creation. She blogs at Straight Grain and is incredibly talented!
