EDITED: Seven hours later I'm back as I promised with the good photos! This little girl always wakes up in such a good mood! (I wish I was the same, ha!) I can't delete the photo above because that's the one I have linked to PR&P's link-up. Now to the good photos and the best smiles. :)
Hi there! Two posts on the same day, I know! After being tormented by all sorts of bugs and the flu since the beginning of this year (since Dec. 31st to be precise) this week for the first time all 5 human beings (plus 3 fishes) living in this home are in perfect good health. Woot! I am finally back to sewing up a storm! :)
Actually where I live it is already 2am so it is not two posts on the same day... is it? :)
Well, I really need to be going to bed now. This is just a super quick post to publish some photos of the reversible hooded vest I made today for this month's challenge on Project Run & Play.
The free pattern for this month is the Mademoiselle Muscle Tee, from Living With Punks.
Since it is still Winter around here I decided to change the pattern to a vest! And what is better than a hooded vest? A reversible hooded vest! :)
I have used a red woolen blend on one side (a leftover from this cape) and a stripey interlock knit on the other. I think I love it better with the stripes on the outside... What do you think?
Oh, I haven't sewn any buttons yet because I am not being able to choose the perfect buttons at this moment... I have a few options over my sewing table but it is too late and my brain is half asleep now... :)
So, since it is very late and my sweet model is already in bed, I had to take
(Talk about being at the last minute!... Phew! :) )
Oh, I was almost forgetting, I am planning on having a simple tutorial (sometime during this week) on how to alter the muscle tee pattern into a vest!
Happy sewing!
I love it.
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteAinda bem que já está tudo de boa saúde. O colete é tão fofo! Adorei e acho que vou fazer um para o mais pequeno cá de casa. Bons sonhos!
ReplyDeleteAinda bem, mesmo! :) Já está pelos cabelos com tanta bicheza...
DeleteObrigada! O colete é super fácil de fazer a partir de um molde de t-shirt. Vou tentar fazer o passo-a-passo este semana.
Yes, the pic in the link up doesn't do justice to the real vest. It's super cute on your super cute model. I couldn't make it to the February challenge. In other words, I knew I won't be in this month, but I can't keep checking the link up. I hope you are in the top ten
ReplyDeleteAwww... Thank you! I'm glad you liked it!!
DeleteI was so frustrated that I couldn't be in for January's link-up... I almost missed this month's challenge too... So happy I could find a couple of hours to make something today, even if I had to go to bed so late... I think I need a nap today. :)
phew! Glad to hear the fishies are well too ;) Love the outfit. I think it is the same vest I made for LM last spring? It is gorgeous, and I think everything looks better in red ;)
ReplyDeleteHahaha :) The fishes were the most healthy creatures in this home for the last weeks. :)
DeleteI had to go see the vest you made for LM, it looks alike yes! Although yours has a lowered rounded back and it's more wide and round at the front edges. Still, very similar! But hey, a hooded vest is a hooded vest there isn't much to be original with when making one, right? :D
And yes, everything looks better in red. ;)
DeleteUau! Muito giro, sabes que adoro coletes! :-)
ReplyDeleteOh wow! So very awesome, reversible, hooded, a cape! Love it!

Have you posted the tutorial for the hooded vest? If so when will it be posted? I want to make several of these for my donations this year. Beautiful work.
ReplyDeleteHi! I am glad you liked it and want to make it for such a good cause! I haven't had the time yet to work on the tutorial, I am so sorry!... But I will work on it soon! If you want to make sure you don't miss it, then maybe you could drop me a line by email so I can have your email and let you know once it's done. :)
