It's been a while since I've sewn something so simple and loved the result so much that I'd like to make the same garment in all colors (well, in all the basic shades, because this is me, haha). Well, who am I kidding, I haven't sewn ANYTHING for myself in a while, so maybe this also influences my rating: I liked the pattern and I really enjoyed being able to sew without thinking about anything else.
Hace tiempo que no he cosido algo tan sencillo y que me encante el resultado tanto que quisiera hacer la misma prenda en todos los colores (bueno, en todos los tonos básicos, porque yo soy así, jaja). Bueno, a quién engaño, hace tiempo no coso NADA para mí, así que puede que también esto influya en mis valoraciones: me ha gustado el patrón y me ha gustado mucho poder coser sin pensar en nada más.

Well, well... I haven't blogged for a year. I hadn't forgotten I have a blog, of course not, but other forms of content have been more present. This place with a longer format content (therefore also a more time-consuming one), has taken a back seat compared to Instagram (and I also started doing stuff on YouTube). And it makes me very sad because this is really where what I share makes the most sense.
Bueno, bueno…llevo un año sin escribir el blog. No había olvidado que lo tengo, claro que no, pero otras formas de contenido han estado más presentes. Esto, que suele ser un formato más largo (por lo tanto también más costoso en términos de tiempo), ha estado cada vez más en el último lugar, después deInstagram(y también empecé a hacer cosas enYouTube). Y me da mucha pena porque realmente es aquí donde tiene más sentido lo que yo comparto.

Here goes a pattern hack I’ve been happily trying out at the beach the past weekend! I wanted to publish a tutorial about modifying the Hanna bikini pattern into a swimsuit for a while now but let’s be honest…my main motivation to actually make it happen was that I wanted to have a custom swimsuit for myself. And I had a beach trip just around the corner so no better excuse, right?

Summer has hit us pretty hard (and early) this year here in Madrid. Heatwaves are common in July but we’re already experiencing one in early June and public swimming pool tickets are hard to get these days, hehe. So while we’re making all the summer plans let’s talk about swimwear shall we?
