Caras amigas, primeiro tenho que vos pedir desculpa pela demora (problemas de hardware, estive o fim-de-semana todo sem portátil e tive sorte em não ter perdido toda a informação do disco).
Dear sewing friends, first let me apologise for taking so long to write this review (hardware problems with my laptop caused this; I was without being able to connect during the whole weekend and I was lucky for saving all the data in the hard disk).
Agora, sem mais demora, o conjunto preto:
Without further delay, here it is:
Dear sewing friends, first let me apologise for taking so long to write this review (hardware problems with my laptop caused this; I was without being able to connect during the whole weekend and I was lucky for saving all the data in the hard disk).
Agora, sem mais demora, o conjunto preto:
Without further delay, here it is:
Trata-se de um conjunto blusa-calção, de tafetá enrugado preto, pespontado a branco pérola, e a blusa tem umas tiras de amarrar de organza de seda, também pespontadas, além de uns bordados nas costuras verticais na frente. No total demorou cerca de 47 horas a fazer e deixou-me extensamente satisfeita com o resultado! As peças podem usar-se separadas para um look mais casual e funcionam muito bem juntas para um look mais sofisticado.
This is a matching blouse and shorts ensemble, made from wrinkled black taffeta with seashell white topstitching; the blouse has silk organza ties (also topstitched) and two embroidered seams on the front. It took about 47 hours to finish and I was very pleased with the final result! Both garments can be used separately for a more casual look or together for a sophisticated look.

Conclusão: um projecto desafiante e demorado mas que foi concluído com sucesso (na minha opinião). Gostei de costurar este conjunto e pude por à prova mais umas funcionalidades da minha máquina nova! A blusa não precisou de qualquer ajuste de prova, serviu à primeira e os calções também não levaram qualquer ajuste pois usei um molde que já tinha experimentado para fazer umas calças. O tecido que usei tem a desvantagem de modificar a sua textura quando entretelado com entretela termo-colante mas o problema pode ser contornado. Tive a oportunidade de usar neste projecto mais uma vez a organza de seda, tanto para fins decorativos como para a construção interna (forro das frentes dos calções, entretela das vistas e da gola da blusa, guarnição das cavas).
Conclusion: this was a defying and time-consuming project but all the time and effort paid in the end. I enjoyed sewing this black ensemble and having the chance to experiment a little more with my new sewing machine! The blouse pattern didn’t take any additional fitting adjustment, it fits wonderfully well and the city shorts were also a TNT pattern since I’ve used this pattern in the past with great results. The fabric was not suitable for fusing but that problem was easily overtaken. I had the opportunity to use silk organza once more, to only as decorative effect but as inner construction structure, using it as non-fusible interfacing, underlining and as binding for the armhole seams.
Espero que tenham gostado de acompanhar este projecto comigo! Até breve!
I hope you all have enjoyed accompanying me in the making of this project! See you soon!

ReplyDeleteBeijinhos
Carmen
This is just stunning - fit and finish are wonderful and the whole ensemble so stylish! I do admire your precision and finish - you are a great inspiration
ReplyDeleteTany,
ReplyDeleteYour outfit looks fabulous. It was time well spent. As luck would have it, I was making capris with front fly and facing (first fly ever) and was truly lost as to how to fit it all together. Thank you so much for taking the time to post your pictures and instructions. They were most helpful. I was waiting like a little kid for Santa when I saw you were going to post this soon. Checking your blog 4 or more times a day to see the part 2 posted. Then finally success! My first ever fly with facing came out looking quite good, near perfect. Thanks again and I enjoy reading your blog.
OBRIGADA! THANK YOU!
ReplyDeleteAnne Frances and CD I welcome you both to Couture et Tricot!
CD: You made my day, thank you! I'm so glad that my blog is helping and motivating others to sew! You see, I don't consider myself a big authority on sewing, I'm just a girl who loves to sew and finally got the chance of sharing and meeting others who share the same interest! I try to do my best and most of all I try to explain what I've been learning. And I'm learning along the way too!
Truly gorgeous outfit. You do such an excellent job. And you are wearing the shoes I truly love!
ReplyDeleteTany, Your outfit is gorgeous! I truly appreciate all of your details and the knowledge you share on your blog. You are definitely one of my favorite reads!
ReplyDeleteOh, and the shoes! WOW!!
