Candy dress

Hi guys! 

Here I bring you one of my last creations. I've been sewing a lot lately which is good because I had it left behind. This funny dress is the last piece of clothing that I made. I saw this liquorice sweets printed fabric in the shop and  I just feel in love with it. As you can see it is sleeveless dress with a zipper at the back, not recommended for this time of the year because it is still chilly but I can't wait to use it so probably I'll use a basic tee underneath. 

At the moment I am making a t-shirt so that's probably what you'll see soon. I hope you like the dress and the pics. 

Enjoy the weekend!

Patterned Calendar

Hello! I hope you are fine!

Today I am going to dedicate this post to one of my projects for this new year, my "Patterned calendar". I've always loved patterns. My life is surrounded by patterns, in my clothes, my house, my phone, my drawings... I am specially attracted by crazy, colourful, messy, funny and eccentric patterns. Since I started working with Adobe Illustrator I decided to make different geometric patterns and design a single one for every month and join them together to give shape to a new project. I liked so much the result and, what is more, I learned  and improved my skills with this software. What you can see in the pictures is the cover of the calendar in the printed version and two months, January which is already gone and February which I want welcome. I will post a new one every month. 

I hope you like it!

Furry handbag!

Hello! Happy new year to everyone! 

To begin the new year I bring you some pictures of my last creation, a furry handbag. I had this idea since long ago but it took me long time to stop and do it because I never found a furry fabric I really like. It was about two weeks ago when I started thinking that I had to go back to sewing because during the past few months I've been dedicating most of my time to illustration, and so I did. I went to the fabric shop in town, actually thinking about getting a patterned fabric for a dress and by chance I found this zebra furry cloth, which I love. Then I said to myself this is going to be the one I will use for my handbag. It didn't take me long to finish it, about two days. It's and easy pattern, a double rectangle closing with a zipper. I add those two pins that I bought in a small shop but really cool near my house. 

I hope you like it! Enjoy the day!

Pompom headband!

Hi there!

What's up? It's December already and almost Christmas, busy and exciting times for most of the people. Although in my case it's going to be busier that exciting, I'll try to carry on with my projects and keep in touch through my posts. 

Lately I've been drawing more than sewing. Since I bought a book about geometric patterns I've been practising my pattern skills not only on paper but digitally, playing with Adobe Illustrator.  As the new year is coming I though it could be a good idea to prepare a patterned calendar for 2017 and I started working on it already. The calendar will include 12 different patterns, one for each month of the year. I am in the middle of that, once I have it printed I'll post it here. In the meanwhile I dedicate time to make little things like this colourful headband with yarn pompoms. I love it. I've always seen headbands with flowers but I really think that is funnier with pompoms. 

I hope you like it! Enjoy the rest of the weekend!

Hand embroidered t-shirt

Hello!! 

Saturday afternoon and here I am writing a new post. I am on my last days of holidays, I'll be back to work soon so I am trying to get as much things done as I can. This pictures you can see are from a T-shirt I prepared for my friend's birthday. Flower and letters are hand embroidered. I used polka dot patterned fabric for the middle of the flower as well. 

I hope you like it! Enjoy the rest of the day and the weekend! ^^

Illustrated cards

Hello there!

 As you know I sew, I draw and sometimes I even mix both skills. This is my last illustration project, ten illustrated cards hand-drawn. Made as the perfect gift for the main moments and events in life, this cards are full of cute characters such as living sweets, fast food and CATS, shown with a touch of irony, insolence and sweetness. Some of this illustrations have influence and are inspired by the japanise kawaii style. I made a collection of ten cards with watercolor technique and lines defined with black pen.  In a future I will try to carry on drawing more cards with new topics and styles.

I hope you like them, I really enjoyed making this project.

Have a lovely day!

Polka dots skirt

 

Hello!

As I told you in the last post, I've been taking some pictures of the clothes I do. The skirt you can see in the picture is one I did months ago. A very easy pattern to make this gathered skirt with waistband and buttons. The polka dots pattern of the fabric and the design of the skirt give it a vintage look.

I hope you like it. There is more to come!

Enjoy the weekend!
