Vestido Azul

What happens when I’ve lots of projects to finish? I start new ones. It all started when I saw this tutorial a few weeks ago, I left it open in my browser waiting for some time to do it, then yesterday morning I saw this tutorial, which is the same concept. This project was definately calling me, it was destiny! After lunch I started a new dress 🙂 It took me almost all the afternoon because my sewing machine has some kind of problem with its tension, it was repaired last year and still has this problem, check out all this thread:

So 50% of the time I was cutting thread and sewing it all over again. But I said to myself I’m not going to give up, since I’ve lots of projects to finish I wanted to start and finish this dress in the same day. And by the end of the afternoon it was finished 🙂 I actually think I spent almost two hours sewing the strip I was pulling my hair at this point! But everything went fine 🙂 I actually think I’ll buy some pretty ribbon to use here, I think yellow would look amazing here!
It’s pretty hot lately but I’m wearing tights because it was a little bit chilly when I took these photos, I guess this will make a very good winter dress too! It’s a little bit heavy, perfect! I bought this fabric last summer to make a summer skirt but my mom said it was way too heavy to make what I was thinking so I gave up. I’m glad I had the fabric to do this, I love it so much and it has my favorite color.

If you are wondering the rectangle dimensions are 65cmx75cm, in the end I was thinking in taking a little bit on the sides but my mom said it made me more boobs and I forgot that the idea in the same instant 🙂

I love it with a belt too!

Just realized that I look a little bit weird in the photos, apologies for that! I don’t have posing skills.

O que acontece quando tenho vários projectos para acabar? Comeco novos. Tudo começou quando vi este tutorial algumas semanas atrás, deixei-o aberto no browser em fila de espera para quando tivesse algum tempo para o dizer, então ontem de manhã vi este tutorial, que é basicamente o mesmo conceito. Era destino, este projecto estava a chamar-me! Depois do almoço comecei um novo vestido 🙂 Demorei quase a tarde inteira porque a minha máquina de costura tem algum problema com a tensão, foi arranjada o ano passado mas ainda continua com este problema, vejam a quantidade de linha aqui:

Basicamente 50% do tempo que demorei foi a desmanchar e a tirar os grandes acumulados de linha e depois coser tudo outra vez. Mas disse a mim mesma que não ia desistir, tenho vários projectos para acabar e se queria começar este tinha de o acabar hoje. Dito e feito, no final da tarde estava acabado 🙂 Acho que passei cerca de 2 horas só para coser a fita já me estava a começar a passar nesta altura! Mas tudo correu bem 🙂 ‘Tou a pensar comprar alguma fita bonita para usar aqui, acho que amarelo ficaria muito bem!
Tem estado muito calor ultimamente mas estava um bocadinho frio quando tirei estas fotos por isso estou a usar meia calça, agora que vejo isto seria um bom vestido de inverno! É um bocadinho pesado, perfeito! Comprei este tecido no verão passado para fazer uma saia de verão mas a minha mãe disse que era muito pesado para aquilo que queria fazer por isso desisti. Fico feliz por ter o tecido para fazer isto, gosto bastante do resultado e ainda por cima tenho um vestido com a minha cor favorita.

Se quiserem saber as dimensões dos rectângulos são 65cmx75 cm, ao acabar o vestido pensei em tirar um pouco de tecido de lado mas a minha mãe disse que me fazia mais mamas e esqueci essa ideia no mesmo instante 🙂

Gosto também dele com um cinto!

Só agora é que reparei que fiquei um bocadinho estranha nas fotos, peço desculpa! Não tenho a capacidade de fazer poses.

So cute! I love the blue. I can sympathize with you. My sewing machine loves to give me problems too. Good for you for trucking through!

Love it! I”m making something very similar to this and Rachael’s. What type of fabric did you use? That’s what I’m struggling with.

I used a woven fabric, I think most of the fabrics will work but perhaps to hold better I’d choose something a little heavier.

When I had the same problem with my thread bunching up … it was my bobbin case that needed replacing. It’s kinda expensive, about 60 bucks for the replacement plus labor for the repair man. good luck fixing!
