What I've been doing....

OMG!!!! A lot of things. Just to start I had some nice holidays ( because I'm worth it).

 I spent a week in the Mexican Carribeans with the lovely company of my mom. We had a lot of fun together!

Then, at home, I dedicated myself to sewing a bunch of Renfrew Tees http://www.sewaholicpatterns.com/renfrew-top/. ( Pics are coming soon, I promise), cooking, exercising, reading and tidying my flat.

This novel is soo interesting. I'm litterally glued.

A smart and fast recipe, pasta with blended chards and gorgonzola cheese.

See you soon.

Self portrait

Hawthorn

The Hawthorn dress is finished and I'm delighted with the result. It's a pity because the summer days are fading quickly. The temperature has dropped and the weather is cloudy. Anyway... 

This above is the gate of a place in the Montjuic Parc that's called La Font del Gat (the fountain of the cat). I love that place because is really relaxing and peaceful.

Tonic Tshirt by SBCC

I sewed  this TS quickly. 

 SBCC have pattern for petites and I fall in this group as my height reaches barely 158 cm (158cm = 5ft 2¹³⁄₆₄in) ;-P. The pattern is for free so is you are tempted to try I advice you to do so

It was really easy to assemble. I had a very nice knit bought for just 2 €. 

And this is the result:

 

Lovely, isn't it?

I had just a small problem... In fact I didn't check the lenght until I cut the front piece so it turned out a little bit too short for my taste. I solved it just changing the hem with a waistband like in the Renfrew pattern by Tasia.

I think I have still enough fabric to sew some nice panty. I will think about it.

And this is my newly discovered Confort Food. 

Arroz con leche de coco. 

It's brown because I cooket it with raw sugar. 

Delicious!

Just to start another time

Just to start.
I bought a new vintage sewing book… What a weird sentence…

And this is a pic of the Hawthorn Dress fitting.

Daring...
I'm an italian gal living in the beautiful Barcelona.
I'm going to start here my new adventure on the web.
I love the city I chose to live in, I love creativeness in general.
Actually I knit, paint, draft, decorate, garden.
Lately I have a really serious crush on sewing.
Hope to meet you soon.
