JARDINEIRAS . OVERALLS

Ainda não tinha realmente mostrado aqui a peça de roupa que até agora mais gozo me deu ver finalizada: umas jardineiras com folhos nas alças.
O modelo foi baseado nestas jardineiras antigas e o molde foi feito através de umas que a mãe de uma amiga da Teresa me emprestou. Sempre pensei que fosse uma peça de roupa dificílima de executar mas tentei simplificar tudo ao mínimo e acabei por achar até bastante fácil.
Os botões são antigos, encontrados numa loja de Cascais que estava a “despachar” mercadoria velha (quase todos os outros eram tão ou mais bonitos que estes e eu perdi a cabeça e comprei dezenas!) Sei que o tecido não agrada a todos mas eu adoro! Talvez, para os mais conservadores, se possam fazer com uma ganga forrada com um “liberty”… 
Espero que gostem!




Here is the garment - and here is the preview I've showed you same days ago - that has given me more pleasure to seecompleted so far: a pair of overalss with ruffled straps.
The model was based on these vintage overalls and the pattern was made with the help of another pair that were lent to be. I always thought it was a very difficult piece of clothing to make but I tried keeping it simple and I ended up findingthat it was fairly easy.
The buttons are vintage, found at a storein Cascais that wasgetting rid of its old goods (almost all the others were as beautiful as these and I lost my head and bought dozens of them!) I know that the fabric does not suit everyone but I love it! Perhaps, for the more conservative, it could be made with denim and a “liberty” cotton linen ...
Hope you like it!
