Heart Sweatshirt

December 5th, 2011 | sewing/costura | 1 Comment

Today I’m going to show my latest project! It was on my head for a while and when I went home I sewed it!
I told myself to leave it to Christmas but I couldn’t resist. It’s a fast project to make and I didn’t feel like having too much trouble so there are a few mistakes in it. I followed this tutorial.

It’s a super cute sweatshirt to wear! And a bonus point for being so warm when I’m feeling cold :)

Sunday Sewing

November 20th, 2011 | sewing/costura | 1 Comment

I went this weekend home and it felt amazing! I really love to be with my family, even if it’s just for a while. In one hour I’ll be taking the bus to go to Braga again.
This morning I woke up and did a little bit of sewing.

Can’t wait to show you what I did! I hope I can post about it this week!

Newspaper Wallet

September 5th, 2011 | sewing/costura | 0 Comments

Look what I made! I made a wallet using the same fabric of this bag, there weren’t many leftovers but they were enough to make it :) The black fabric was the worst, I had to sew strips together to have enough but it was okay :)
Everything went well until the final step and in the end it turned out little bit weird don’t you think? My perfectionist self is criticizing a lot this wallet but I’m just going to use it everyday and don’t give a damn, seriously I should be proud right? I never thought I could be able to do something like this (even if it’s very far from perfect), I feel like I’ve been improving slowly on my sewing and it makes me so happy!

Something I’m very proud of is the zipper, I totally jumped with joy when I made my first zippered pocket, perhaps it’s silly but I feel like it’s one of the things that makes me believe I’ve leveled up :) (seems like I’m talking about a game)

I followed this tutorial, hope you like it even with all these imperfections :)
