Falo muito em vestuário de outras décadas, mas a coragem para fazer roupa a partir de modelos vintage tem faltado. Já alguma vez olharam para um molde anterior a 1970? As ilustrações são ultra apetecíveis, mas quando se chega às instruções... oh là là. Quatro passos apenas, que afinal acabam por levar 16 horas a fazer. Dois dias de trabalho! Para fazer um avental! Há que decifrar as indicações, pois claro, e naquele tempo não havia atalhos. Enfim, mas valeu a pena. Sinto que aprendi alguma coisa, e sobretudo fiquei com um avental único!

I keep talking about clothes from past decades but never found the courage to sew from vintage patterns. Have you ever looked at a pattern prior to 1970? The illustrations are lovely but when you get to instructions... oh là là. Four steps only that end up taking 16 hours to complete. Two working days! To make an apron! You have to decipher the steps, oh yes, and they didn't take shortcuts back then. It was worth it though. I feel I actually learnt something and I got an unique apron!
