Després de l'estiu, va venir l'hivern. Un hivern força complicat. A vegades he pensat en el que diu la cançó:
"I'd be safe and warm if I was in L. A." (Si fos a Los Angeles, tot aniria bé..).
I do love this song by The Mamas & The Papas! It reminds me of last summer's trip to California.
After the summer, winter arrived. It has not been an easy winter, so I often thought
"I'd be safe and warm if I was in L. A."
Per sort, ha tornat l'estiu i m'he fet un triquini amb licra estampada que vaig comprar a Los Angeles, a Michael Levine fabrics. (un paradís per les costureres). La licra verd flúor és comprada a Barcelona.
Fortunately, summer is back and I have sewn a trikini with the printed lycra I bought in L.A., in Michael Levine fabrics. (a paradise for sewists!) The green lycra is bought in Barcelona.
Aquest és el trikini que em vaig cosir en el taller de roba de bany reversible que ens va organitzar Mei fet amb amor i ens va impartir la Sandra, de Maria Modista Portugal. El taller el vam fer a Sitges a finals de maig.
I sewed this trikini during the reversible swimwear workshop organised by Mei fet amb amor, and taught by Sandra, from Maria Modista Portugal. The workshop took place in Sitges, near Barcelona, one week-end at the end of May.

El trikini està fet amb dues capes de licra, no porta goma enlloc. Està cosit tot ell amb l'overlock i només el punt final, a l'entrecuix, es remata a mà. No és ben bé reversible perquè li he posat "farcit" al pit, si no, ho seria.
Estic pensant de tallar les cintes de la cadera, em fan una mica de nosa.Les de les espatlles, les deixaré.

The trikini is sewn with two layers of lycra, and it has not elastic anywhere. It is completely sewn with the overlock, and closed by hand stitching at the central crotch. It is not really reversible because I inserted padding at the bust, otherwise, it would be.
I am thinking of cutting off the hips' strips, and close the bottom there. However, I will leave the shoulders' strips.
Enllaço aquest trikini al link party de biquinis i banyadors que ha obert l'Anna de Caljoanymas. Si encara no us heu llegit els tutorials de la Semana de la Ropa de Baño, feu-ho i veureu que us vindran moltes ganes de cosir-vos banyadors, biquinis , triquinis, tanquinis i totquinis...
I am linking this trikini to the swimwear link party opened by Anna from Caljoanymas. And if you can read Spanish, check the tutorials at the Semana de la Ropa de Baño, you'll suddenly feel the need to sew swimsuits, biquinis, triquinis, whatever...
