Yes, I want to learn how to embroider!

Snippets of life:

My older kid saw me sewing garments for me and immediately requested I sew her a dress, too. Thankfully @constancacabral recommended the book #sewchickids , which I immediately ordered. When it arrived, I told her she could pick one item, and she chose this pinafore. I went into a bit of a panic with the frills and the gathered effects. In the end, the instructions are very succinct but incredibly clear, and I learnt a lot in the process.

It took me several attempts to get the button holes right, but I’m glad I persevered.

In the end, she thought the dress was store bought, which, when it comes to handmade items, counts as a compliment in my book.

I can’t believe I’m going to write this but: here I am wearing shorts I sewed myself!

These photos were taken last month while we were on vacation and I hesitated before sharing them here. I am very, very shy, and I’m not very comfortable showing my face, etc etc, but these shorts were a huge accomplishment for me and I want to share it with you.

The details: pattern comes from @companhiadasagulhas and I started them there, in class with the great teacher @anaaqueladosoculos .

Fabric was a present from my sister @bausita and I was very keen on symmetry and how the pattern would lay out on the different pieces of the fabric. I can happily report that I am very satisfied with the result, so much so that I am wearing these shorts as I type this.

Now that I know that I can see clothes for myself, please excuse me because I have a few more pieces to make. 😜

After the very intense period of confinement in the spring and early summer, i decided to take August off. No deadlines, just being with the girls and enjoying the summer as much as possible. It was a wonderful month and we enjoyed a lot of sea, sun, green and mostly being outdoors in nature. I feel so deprived of nature when I’m in Lisbon, and this was very therapeutic.
School starts this week and who knows what autumn will bring us, so I’m thankful for the time off and ready to get back to work!

How was your month of August?

After the very intense confinement season in the spring, I planned my month of August to be deadline-free - and am happily taking the time off. I’ve been sketching and playing in my sketchbook and enjoying time with my family.

Here we were visiting a swimming pool that was part of my childhood and then was closed for decades (I think). It reopened recently and it’s even better than I remembered it. It feels like you’re swimming in very cold mineral water - and not many pools are like that.

Returning to the pool in #alpedrinha - with my own kids - was amazing!
