New shirt...the project runway effect???

Yes, all of the sudden, I decided that I need to make myself some clothes...even though it has been proven in the past that it always fails one way or another and rarely I get to use the clothes that I make. Well, I have been successful in the past making skirts, and even pants, but tops...not so much. This thing of fitting the bust into a pattern from the store...doesn't seem to work well.

Si, de repente, he decidido que necesito hacerme ropa...aunque he comprobado en el pasado que siempre falla algo de alguna manera y rara vez llego a usar las prendas que hago. Bueno, me han salido bien faldas y pantalones, pero tops or camisas....no tanto. Esto de ajusta el pecho al patron de la tienda...no funciona muy bien.

But it might be the fact that I am hooked to this show on tv that they have challenges about making clothes that has made start with it again. I really enjoy it and become more addicted to my sewing machine when that show is on. Some time ago I made myself a skirt. It was nice but just like most of the things I make or buy, I don't have anything to wear with it. So I decided to buy a shirting material to eventually make a shirt. This week, in Luca's pre-surgery days, I decided to make myself more calm by making the shirt. I am happy with how easy it was, how fast I made it and how good it looks...but the problem...it is to small for me!!! oh no! I didn't think about fitting before the final cuts. That made me glad to know that Luca's surgeon has made many many surgeries before his, and he wouldn't make the beginners mistakes like I do! Well, it doesn't look too bad in the fist two pictures, but just because I wasn't breathing when I took them...next time I will fit it first.

Pero puede ser el hecho de que este enganchada a un concurso de television en el que hay que hacer ropa, que me haya hecho empezar de nuevo. Lo paso bien viendo el programa y cada vez me siento mas adicta a mi maquina de coser cuando el programa esta en la tele. Hace tiempo me hice una falda. Estaba bien pero como la mayoria de las cosas que me hago o que me compro, no tenia nada que ponerme con ella. Asi que decidi comparme tela de camisa para en algun momento hacerme una. Estoy contenta con lo facil que ha sido, con lo rapido que la he hecho y como ha quedado...pero el problema...es que es demasiado pequenha para mi!!! oh no!! no pense en probarmela antes de dar los ultimos cortes. Me dio tranquilidad el pensar que el cirujano de Luca ha hehco cientos de operaciones antes de esta, y no cometeria los errores del principiante como yo! Bueno, no esta muy mal en las dos primeras fotos, pero solo porque no estaba respirando cuando las hice...la proxima vez me la probare antes.
