Self-made suit worn with citron yellow – Fato feito por mim usado com amarelo cítrico


Happy Monday, everyone! Today I’m wearing a suit (jacket + skirt) that I’ve made back in 2009. This suit is made of two coordinated luxurious metallic fabrics and the craftsmanship involved in making it is quite spectacular (click here for the sewing review and some detail pictures); in those times I didn’t have a son and I was able to spend entire weekends sewing in a row, producing detail rich garments like these… Nowadays I try to keep my projects as simple as possible because I’m really short on time… Sigh.

Feliz segunda-feira, pessoal! Hoje estou a usar um fato saia-casaco que fiz em 2009. Este conjunto foi feito de dois luxuosos tecidos metalizados que se coordenam, e o trabalho manual envolvido na confeção e nos detalhes é espetacular (cliquem aqui para o artigo sobre a costura e fotos dos detalhes); nesses tempos não tinha o meu filho e conseguia passar fins-de-semana inteiros a costurar, para não falar nas muitas noites durante a semana e conseguia produzir roupas ricamente trabalhadas como esta num curto espaço de tempo. Nos dias de hoje tento escolher projetos mais fáceis e rápidos, para conseguir terminá-los em tempo útil… Tenho saudades das minhas “Maratonas de costura”…
