(Português no fim)
Lets get this sewing party started on this blog! I have to admit then when I was invited to this tour I said no way I’m doing this… I had just returned from our year long travel, had no house and the sewing machines in boxes! It’s impossible to have everything ready for the tour! But then… I started to think that this was the perfect excuse to get back to sewing, plus the kids are in desperate need for some clothes!
Lets get this sewing party started on this blog! I have to admit then when I was invited to this tour I said no way I’m doing this… I had just returned from our year long travel, had no house and the sewing machines in boxes! It’s impossible to have everything ready for the tour! But then… I started to think that this was the perfect excuse to get back to sewing, plus the kids are in desperate need for some clothes!
I’ve sewed a lot of Olga’s Patterns, they are all great! I lost count of how many Mulberry Tunics I’ve made in the past. I wanted to try every single pattern, but you know how it goes, the plans are always far too ambitious! I've manage to make 3 and a half items, the gorgeous Polina dress just left the cutting table, still needs to go trough the sewing process. Latter I’ll show you…
I love tunics! It’s the most used item around the house, so it was logic that the Ania Tunic was my first choice… Here it is!
My favourite off all Olga’s patterns? The coolest dress ever, the Antalya! I wanted to make it more like “overall skirt” than a dress, so I’ve sewed only the front and back pieces and omitted the sides. I’ve used bias binding all around to finish it. I was so happy with the result that I couldn't wait to try it on Teresa, mark the hem and get it finished… But as soon as I got the Antalya “overall skirt” and looked at my tinny monkey I realised that it was gonna be way way big on her (insert sad face here). Well, better big than small, they grow up so fast, before I realise she will be perfect in it!
The last one was the the Vasilisa Top. Did you know it’s free?
Since Teresa has a huge baby belly I didn't do the elasticised shirring at the bottom. I also changed the bias at the neck and instead of the ties i’ve used a button.
Have you been following along? There’s amazing sewing going on in this tour!!!
And great prizes to be own (you can enter at the end of the post)
There is more… During the tour there’s a 20% discount on all Olga’s patterns using the code “coffeeandthreadtour”

Vamos lá começar esta festa aqui no blog! Tenho que admitir que quando me convidaram para este “tour” disse que de maneira nenhuma podia participar… Tinha acabado de voltar da nossa viagem de um ano, não tinha casa e as máquinas de costura estavam ainda em caixas! Seria impossível ter tudo pronto a tempo! Mas depois… comecei a pensar que seria a desculpa ideal para recomeçar a coser, além de que os miúdos estavam, desesperadamente, a precisar de roupa!
Fiz vários moldes da Olga, são todos top! Já perdi a conta de quantas túnicas Mulberry fiz no passado. Queria ter feito todos os moldes, mas já sabem como é, os nossos planos são sempre demasiado ambiciosos! Mesmo assim consegui fazer 3 e meio, o vestido lindo Polina acabou de sair da mesa de corte, ainda tem que passar pelo processo de coser. Mostro depois…
Adoro túnicas! É a coisa que mais se usa cá em casa, por isso a minha primeira escolha foi obvia, o molde Ania.
Qual o meu molde preferido? O vestido super cool Antalya! Queria fazer em formato jardineiras e não vestido, cosi apenas as partes de atras e frente, omitindo os laterais. No fim rematei tudo com fita de vies. Fiquei mesmo contente com o resultado, estava desejosa que a Teresinha chegasse para marcar as bainhas e terminar… Assim que peguei nas “jardineiras” e olhei para a minha pequena macaquinha reparei logo que ia estar enorme (cara triste aqui). Bem, mas melhor grande que pequeno, eles crescem tao rápido que daqui a uns dias já lhe vai estar óptimo!
O outro molde que usei foi o Vasilia Top. Sabem que é grátis?!?
Como a Teresa tem uma enorme barriga de bebe não fiz a parte elástica da cintura. Também substitui as fitas para o laço por um botão.
Têm andado a seguir? O nível das “costurices” desta “tour” é incrível!!!
E há prémios para ganhar (participar abaixo)
