Hawthorn

The Hawthorn dress is finished and I'm delighted with the result. It's a pity because the summer days are fading quickly. The temperature has dropped and the weather is cloudy. Anyway... 

This above is the gate of a place in the Montjuic Parc that's called La Font del Gat (the fountain of the cat). I love that place because is really relaxing and peaceful.


Tonic Tshirt by SBCC

I sewed  this TS quickly. 
 SBCC have pattern for petites and I fall in this group as my height reaches barely 158 cm (158cm = 5ft 21364in) ;-P. The pattern is for free so is you are tempted to try I advice you to do so

It was really easy to assemble. I had a very nice knit bought for just 2 €. 



And this is the result:
 
Lovely, isn't it?
I had just a small problem... In fact I didn't check the lenght until I cut the front piece so it turned out a little bit too short for my taste. I solved it just changing the hem with a waistband like in the Renfrew pattern by Tasia.

I think I have still enough fabric to sew some nice panty. I will think about it.

And this is my newly discovered Confort Food. 

Arroz con leche de coco. 
It's brown because I cooket it with raw sugar. 
Delicious!

Just to start another time


Just to start.
I bought a new vintage sewing book… What a weird sentence…





And this is a pic of the Hawthorn Dress fitting.
