Blue Jaquard Woll Suit

 I bought this cashmerino wool in Toronto in 2024, when we traveled there in our honeymoon. There are several fabric shops in Queen St West, and we visited a couple of them. 

This gorgeous Enrico Albertino cashmerino was sold to me as wool, but it has some ply in it, I can tell by how it behaves under the iron and how it burns. I was angry wehn I discovered that "scam", but then i read that chashmerino has some blend in it to give it structure. Anyway, the fabric is gorgeous. I also bought some navy plain cashmerino form the pants, and that is pure wool. 

I used the Burda pattern of my wool blazer, which only required shoter sleeves. 

For the trousers, I used my favourtite pattern in the slim version. They are absolutely perfect, comfortable and becoming to my figure I love them. 

I've learnt that the best top fot a two piece trouser suit is a tight bodice. Far better than a blouse or a shirt. I wear my navy suit with my navy bodice with 3/4 sleeves. 

I am very proud if this one, it is almost perfection. 

Black and Grey Flowers Viscose Wide Pants

 I've discovered an excellent online fabric shop from Denmark. They have a beautiful selection of natural and respectful fabrics, from great designers. This is a flowery viscose from Mind the Maker, with the perfect thickness and hang to make some wide pants. 

So, in this project, it was the fabric that inspired me to make some pants. 

I used again the wide pant pattern with pockets and no fly. You can put a zip in the side or in the centre back. In this case, I installed it in the side. 

Although they do not match my silver silk jacket as I intended, they combine perfectly with black. I love them and I am wearing them a lot this winter.

Black Linen Vest

 

I made this to wear it with my linen suit, but I've discovered recently that pant suits are good with tight informal tops, at least on me. 

Anyway, this vest is very versatile, as it can be worn with trousers, skirts, dresses, etc. 

I bought the linen online in Ribes i Casals' shop. 

For the pattern, I used a vest pattern from Patrones magazine, with a FBA.

I made it double and used the burrito method to sew it all around and pass it through a cut in a inner side seam, so that the whole vest is faced with another whole vest. It is a lovely way to finish a vest in a totally polished way.
