Pink Moschino Cotton Outfit

 This fabric has quite a story to me. When I first saw it in The Sewjo website I thought it would be awesome for an ensemble a la Chanel. It was a Moschino cotton and elastane at a very good price. 

When it arrived, and I saw it live I was completely disappointed, it feels too elasticated and thick... Then I had an envent and I decided it was worth a try. 

I found this pattern in an old Patrones magazine, and afterwards I remembered this was my second rendition of it,

the first one being for my sister in law, back in 2012. I do not like the patterns in the magazine, but Burda did not have anything similar, so I went for it, both the dress and the jacket. 

I had to modify the dress, but only slightly, taking some ease off over and under the bust, and then giving some A shape to the skirt. 

At the second fitting I realized it was awesome, the fabric looked amazing and the pattern was like a glove to my body, I could not be happier. It was very nice to sew and it was gorgeous till the end, no surprises. 

The jacket is a different matter, pieces did not properly match, shoulder seams were too long, sleeves did not make any sense... tried to adjust it as best as I could, and it ended up just good enough. 

 It went to confirm my bad opinion on Patrones magazine patters, they are a disaster, specially sleeves. If I had had any fabric or time, I would have redone it completely in a Burda pattern. 

But all in all, it is a stunning outfit, and I felt like a princess wearing it. 

Grey Camouflage Cavally Wool Biker Jacket

There is this online shop in Madrid that curates awesome fabrics. They bring some designer remains at very good price. 

This wonderful pure wool is from Cavalli. It is so beautiful I had to buy it and make a jacket I did not need, just to honour such a gorgeous fabric. 

I thought a biker jacket would look great in this fabric, so I searched Burdastyle database, and I found the perfect pattern. I ordered the past number in my local library-bus, and I had a fantastic pattern for free.

The only modification needed was the total length, to which I added about 5 cm.

I bought some awesome zippers in the fabulous haberdashery Santa Anna, in Barcelona. I interlined it with fusible cotton and installed a beautiful grey cupro lining.  

It is awesome, perfect, comfortable, warm and a luxury to wear.
