Scroll down for english, please.
Normalmente coloco sempre as costuras para os miúdos à frente das minhas, o que as recambia para segundo plano. É por isso que sempre que faço algo para mim fico tão feliz, e hoje, mostro não uma mas duas peças que acabaram de entrar no meu roupeiro, com um empurrão da Cozy uUp to Fall tour. So não posso afirmar que as ande a vestir muito porque o Verão esqueceu-se mesmo de ir embora este ano e o calor continua a fazer-se sentir.
I always put sewing for the kids first, so sewing for myself is kind of a second plan thing. That is one of the reasons why I get so happy everytime I accomplish sewing something for myself, and today, as part of the Cozy Up to Fall tour, I didn't make one but two new pieces that went straight to my wardrobe. I just can't say I've been wearing them a lot because Summer forgot to leave this year and it's been pretty warm still.
Molde/Pattern: Piko Top

Tamanho/Size: XS

Então comecemos com a minha peça preferida, o Piko Top. É uma blusa larga, o que se traduz em muito comforto, o que é tudo nestes dias que correm. Adoro todos os atributos deste molde, a gola simples, que mesmo só dobrada e cosida para dentro continua perfeita, as mangas justas e no meu caso os bicos de lado.
Let me start with my favorite of both pieces, the Piko Top. A boxy styled shirt, which means extra comfort for me, and that, is all I need these days. I love all the features of this pattern, the simple neckline, which is just folded inside and still looks great, the fitted sleeves and in this case the side tails cut.
Comprei este tecido há uns anos e durante todo este tempo pensei qm fazer precisamente uma blusa deste genero com ele. Só é pena ter demorado tanto porque adorei o resultado. Não poderia ter escolhido outro que fosse melhor para este projeto que pede um bom cair. É um tanto transparente, mas já contava com sobreposições, e como tal, está tudo bem.
I bought this fabric a couple of years ago and all this time I was saving it for this kind of shirt precisely. Too bad I had to wait this long to finally get it done because I so love it. I found it to be perfect for this project though, with its drapey character. It is also see through but that's fine, I was counting on layering anyway.
Então, o molde vem nos tamanhos XS-XL e Plus Size 1X-5X, e ainda inclui instruções para alterar se necessário. Podem também encontrar opções multiplas de mangas e bainhas, e costumizar como desejado. Eu fiz a opção dos bicos de lado, e as mangas compridas, mas também encontram curtas e a 3/4. A bainha pode ser ainda direita ou estilo hi-low.
So, this pattern comes in sizes XS-XL and Plus Size 1X-5X, plus includes custom fit instructions to adjust if necessary. You can also find multiple sleeve and hem options to costumise it as you wish. I choose the side tails look and the long sleeves version but there's a short and 3/4 sleeves too. The hem can also be a regular one or hi-low styled.
Eu não alterei em nada e gostei do resultado. Ainda ponderei no início se deveria encurtar ou não na altura mas depois segui com o molde sem alterar. Está um pouco comprido para top, mas curto demais para túnica, anda ali pelo meio, e funciona perfeitamente assim para mim.
I made no adjusts and feel pretty happy with it. I first wondered if I should or not cut off some lenght and make it shorter, but then I just decided to go ahead and get it done as is. It's a bit too long I guess, but it's there just in between a top an da tunic and that's just perfect for me.
Molde/Pattern: Four Seasons Cardigan & Duster

Estava vento, é verdade, por isso o casaco estava a esvoaçar, mas não foi por isso que estava a esconder a cara (e a rir-me na próxima foto) e sim porque os miúdos estavam a atirar-me com folhas secas, se olharem bem, dá para ver algumas. Enfim... deixem-me contar-vos mais sobre a minha segunda nova peça preferida, esta claro. É versátil, fácil e rápida de costurar - especialmente porque saltei a parte de costurar as baínhas |e não me arrependo! ah!| - e além disso, o cair fluído dá-lhe um ar super estiloso e a mim também (que é raro, ando sempre de calças de ganga e blusas simples).
It was a bit windy here, hence the cardigan floating, but the real reason I was hiding my face (and laughing in the next photo) is my kids were throwing dead leaves on me, you can see some if you pay attention. Anyway... I should tell you about my next fave thing, this cardigan of course. Versatile, easy and fast to sew - especially because I skipped all the hemming |and I don't regret it! ah!| - and to top it all, looks at how it drapes and how stylish I look (which I don't do often, always in my jeans and plain shirts).

Usei apenas 3 peças neste molde. Sim, não vou mentir, são imensas páginas para colar mas vale a pena. O tempo gasto nessa tarefa é compensado com a rapidez com que se costura a peça. E mais, o molde vem com mais opções. O capuz é opcional, e são cinco as opções de mangas disponíveis, e duas alturas diferentes.
This is a 3 piece pattern you're looking into. Yes, I won't lie to you, get ready to tape a lot of pages, but it's so worth it. All the time you spend on that task is payed with the little time you need to actually sew it all together. And there's more than one option here too. You get to do a hooded or no hood at all version, you can choose from 5 sleeves options and there's two lenghts available too.

Olhem só as riscas certinhas nas costuras, mesmo sem ter tentado!! =D Aqui outro tecido que guardei durante mais do que deveria. Tenho quase a certeza que os mandei vir a ambos na mesma encomenda. Não deixa de ser engraçado que tenha acabado por os usar a ambos ao mesmo tempo também. Sempre adorei este, e ainda o apanhei umas vezes enquanto procurava tecidos para fazer umas peças para os miúdos, mas acabei sempre por devolvê-los ao sítio porque queria-o mesmo para mim.
Look at that! Matching stripes, even when you«re not trying to!! =D Another fabric I was keeping for longer than I should have. I am almost sure I bought both of these fabric in the same order. It's kinda funny that I get to use them at the same time too. I've always loved it so much, I actually grabbed it from my shelves a few times, when they would have been perfect for any kids project I was working on, but I was so determined to make something for me out of it, that I always went back and restore it to its place, I really wanted it for myself.
