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.  

Animal Print Viscose Dress

 Hello!

I have been sewing during this pandemic as much as always... but I have missed posting a couple of projects, so here I am to mend that. 

I bought this awesome and bold viscose at Guthrie and Ghani's online shop, where I found some chambray I was looking for (and smartly (?) completed the order with two or three more fabrics). 

When I saw and touched the fabric, I immediately decided of replicating an old pattern from Patrones magazine, which is a successful piece in my wardrobe. 

This pattern has a very interesting bust shaping with a panel inserted in the upper bodice, which I like a lot.

It has the perfect flow for a viscose, as well as length and sleeves... this fabric could be easily quirky in some patterns, but it looks lovely in this one. 

I received good praise in my job, which is the only place I can wear my makes these days... And I feel ridiculously thankful for having that at least, although it means assuming some risk to my health. I also feel that I am contributing to my social group by taking care of the education and emotional wellbeing of children, besides having a good excuse to go on sewing. Life must go on!
