It has been
a busy week around here! But when a good friend launches a great pattern and
asks if you feel like sewing it, is it possible to say no? Of course not! So I
say yes!
PATTERN:
The Nina Blouse by Coffee and Thread. When I went to my local shop with my almost
finished Nina blouse to look for some nice buttons, the waitress said: “Did you
sew this?! It looks amazing. So perfect and professional!” I blushed but I knew
it was all Olga’s fault as she had put together not only a beautiful timeless
design but also a great pattern. Plus the fitting is perfect! I made the cap
sleeve version – there is a long sleeve too – with round collar – there is a scalloped
collar too – in size 8 for my skinny 10 year old daughter as the sizing chart
was pointing into that size. I made no changes to the original pattern but I
added a couple of top stiches here and there because Teresa wanted her Nina to
look more casual and denim shirt like.
FABRIC:
Denim/chambray bed sheet from my local street market (buttons and bias tape are
from my local shops.) Every Wednesday there is a street market in Cascais and sometimes
it is possible to find real gems there. This fabric was definitely one! For 5
euros I got enough fabric to make shirts for all the family. The quality seems to
be really nice as the fabric is incredibly soft and has good drape. Since
Teresa asked me for a casual denim shirt, I thought having contrasting topstitching
would make sense. And all other details fallowed that topstitching: the sleeves
and neckline are finished with matching color bias tape and the buttons are the
exact same color as the thread.
I am really
happy with my Nina blouse. And so is Teresa. I just hope spring arrives soon so
she can start wearing her new denim shirt.
I really like this one!
