Me and my family spent our yearly summer vacation in Spain, where we visited the city of Madrid. My favorite spot was the Crystal Palace, a beautiful orangery in the midst of a parc.
The perfect location for pictures of my latest sewing creation!
After seeing the SS16-collection of the Spanish children's brand Bobo Choses, a collection inspired by the greatest artists of the past two centuries, I felt sooo inspired to make some artsy garments myself!
The first one is a T-shirt (pattern is the Harley-top from the La Maison Victor sewing magazine) in a striped jersey knit. The little men were originally drawn by the Belgian surrealist artist Magritte. I had them cut in flock foil by a sewing friend who has a Cameo Silhouette Cutter. The only thing I had to do was iron them on!
Of course the men are Magrittes intellectual property and I would never 'steal' ideas without mentioning their creator. So in the back I added Magritte's signature!
I already have plans for a second item in my Bobo Choses-inspired mini collection, but as you might have seen on Instagram, Facebook or the blog lately, I'm very busy sewing other things right now :-) Together with Katrien, I'll be launching my first sewing pattern next week!!! I'm so excited! More about it on Wednesday!
Pattern: Harley Top - La Maison Victor
Fabric: striped jersey knit - De Stoffenkamer (sold out)
Such a great shirt, Eva! I love everything about it - the shape, the blue stripes, the men, and the signature - it's the perfect touch.
