KCW last day for me!

I think this is my last day of KCW because I have visitors from Canada, we have a full house and a big french poodle from British Columbia. So, no time for sewing my studio is serving as a guest room and I just got a cold and the kids as well. Anyways here is what I did on Wednesday and a bit yesterday. Enjoy the sewing girls and have fun.

So this top was so easy and I drafted the sleeves and made the skirt longer. I liked it so much that I made a second one but I haven’t got a picture of that one yet. This is is a soft flannel I got at Harts Fabrics on my firts visit.

 

Beautiful Fabric and beautiful skirt. I decided to make this one for Halloween day or Dia de Los Muertos at Gaby’s school. I saw a pair of stockings at H&M black with skeleton bones in white, but couldn’t find them again. Still, it will make a nice outfit I have it all under control. This one too got it a Harts Fabrics and the fabric is from Alexander Henry and his Calaveras de ázucar. Pattern is self drafted and it is just a very long rectangle so i has more gathers.

 

This one I love so much I need to make more like this, you need to have a very light weight fabric otherwise it would be to stiffed and no movement or flow. Fabric got it at my old favorite fabric store in Canada, Greenwood Quiltery. I should have got more of this fabric. Pattern is from a Japanese book but can’t put a link right now because putting links delays me so much and right now I have my minutes of blogging counted.

My son Sebastián didn’t get anything new in his wardrobe this time. But I have nice projects in mind for him too. I feel bad that he didn’t get anything so I will put some images of him walking and fooling around yesterday here.

Thanks everybody who takes the time to stop by my blog. I will make sure I will stop by yours in a bit too.

Happy sewing and Happy blogging….CHEERS!!!

 

Basti likes Batman…it used to be Gaby’s but now Gaby is into different heroes.

 

I remember when I used to be so flexible, Gaby likes bending herself and one of her fave positions is downward dog! Namaste! Kids are growing fast and now playing more together, Basti is such a boy and some times too rough on Gaby, but they both love each other and miss each other when not together.

See you soon!!!

It’s that time of the year…KCW Fall 2013!!

I haven’t write in a long time around here, but I have no computer, until next month. My husband is at yoga today in the morning and I stole his laptop and rushed to write something and add my new sewing triumphs. It is KCW since monday and I signed

myself for this time, and completely forgot that I can not blog daily, so I will only do it twice, today and friday that I have access to this computer.

I have seen what others have made already and I’m so impressed that makes me feel like sewing all day…I wish.

A knit Long Sleeve for Gaby.

So I made two tops out of this nice knit fabric I found at Harts Fabric in Santa Cruz, one of the best experiences I’ve had buying fabric. If you are in the area try to go this place it is amazing!

This two dresses are the same pattern and decided to go with bold prints. Martha Negley on flowers and pink colours is my favourite. The pattern is from a Japanese book, called Check & Stripe Travel Issue. Gaby is sick today no school and to get inspired I told her to get her friend Nepal (Crane) to join. Things got better from here, Gaby needs a friend to be with her when she’s not in her zone.

Last but not least is this Frida Khalo dress I made yesterday. I can not show you pictures from the back because I ran out of batteries in my camera but I decided it no use a zipper and go for a button instead and a little button loop. For this dress I cheated because I made it on saturday to use on Sunday since I knew I was not going to be able to post anything for two days due to technical problems (no computer). So we went to the city and hang out at the Golden Gate Park and specially at the Japanese Gardens, so pretty.

Beautiful day and beautiful dress. Fabric got it online from Harts Fabrics two weeks ago, this one was out of stock in a lot of places, so I got myself four meters and be prepared for anything.

This is it, I hope you enjoyed it like I do when I see this images. I’m off to do some cleaning, and hopefully to get started on my next project before this challenge ends. Thanks for stoping by…have a nice day.
