Testing a pattern and a sew-along!

Zer moduz doa astea neska mutilak? Joste proiekturen bat mahai ganean? Nik makina bat ditut ;-) 

How about your week? Do you have any sewing project in progress? I have many of them ;-)

Orain dela pare bat aste nire marrazkiekin zer egin behar nuen komentatu nizuen, sarrera hori gogoratzen duzue? Burda challengerako alkandora amaitua dut (hemen sarrera) eta gero berokia eta prakak zeuden. Berokia Rosyk antolatutako sew-alongekoa da eta astelehenean hasi zen patroia eraldatzen. Hori dela eta animatu eta parte hartu asko ikastetik aparte, zuek jositako beroki eder bat izango duzue eta.

A couple of weeks ago I presented you my "mini-maiders" and my future projects, do you remember that post? In fact, the blouse I wanted to sew for the Burda challenge, is finished (here). The fuchsia coat is the next garment in my list and in the sew-along hosted by Rosy. Rosy started on monday,  she is transforming the pattern to create the coat. Do not hesitate! You have to participate, we are learning many things and we will have an amazing fucshia coat in our closet.

We are going to sew this amazing fuchsia coat!

Prakak imaginatuko duzuen bezalaxe alde batera utzi ditut beste behin eta gauza desberdin batekin nago. Naiiren patroi bat testeatzeko aukera daukat!!! Bai aukeratuen artean nago eta bere patroia probatuko dut. Eskerrikasko konfidantzagatik Naii!!!! Probatzen nagoen patroia ENE SUDADERA da. Patroia bat probatzen dudan lehen aldia denez, gauzak lasai eta tentuz egiten ari naiz, argibideak irakurri eta zerbait ez badut ondo ulertzen paper batean apuntatzen. Ahal dudan guztia lagundu nahi baidiot Naiiri ;-)

What you're imagining, I will confirm ... the pants I have left behind in my list, I'm sewing something else. Naii has chosen me to test one of their patterns before launching it!!! I am one of the nominees and I am sewing her pattern. Thanks for the confidence Naii!!!! The pattern, that I´m testing is the "ENE HOODIE". It´s the first time I have tested a pattern, so I´m doing all the steps carefully and calm to find errors or things like that. All because I want to help Naii, all I can ;-)

ENE patroia oso gustoko dut, gorputzera ondo egokitzen da eta jazteko erosoa da. Sudaderak bi bertsio dauzka, aurrekaldea zabalik duena (umeei titia ematen dien emakumeentzako pentsatua) eta aurrekaldea itxia daukana eta noski umeentzako bertsioa ere badago. Nik itxita dagoena aukeratu dut. Sudadera egiteko ehun diferentea aukeratu dut, sudadera ehuna izan beharrean polarra esaten zaiona erabiliko dut. Grazia egin zidan kuadrodun ehuna izatea, ikutu serioa duen jantzi dibertigarria! Nahastea ona zela iruditu zitzaidan. Barneko piezentzako motadun ehun zuri beltza aukeratu dut.

I like the ENE pattern, it fits well and it looks comfy and cute. This hoodie has two versions, one is with an opened front (designed for moms who are nursing period) and the other version has a closed front. Besides ENE has a version for children. I´m sewing the closed version for ladies :-)  To sew this special project I chose a special fabric, instead of a common sweatshirt fabric, I bought a fabric called "polar" in spanish, very warm and foamy. The fabric is a black and white plaid and this made me smile, a serious fabric in a funny garment! I thought that it would be a perfect mix. For the linning I cut a black and white polka dots fabric, I had in my stash.

ENE is in progress.

Beno ba ni ooooosooooo lanpetuta nago, baina zuek josteko denbora baduzue gauza oso interesgarriak dituzue blogosferan, aukera batzuk emango dizkizuet:

- Lolita Patterns patroi etxe berria argitaratu dute aste hontan. Dohaineko patroia atera dute "Fuchsia gona" eta otsailaren 11n sew-along bat hasiko dute.

- Julia Bobbinek Mad Men telesaieko bigarren sew-alonga antolatu du. Jantzi ederrak egin zituzten antolatutako lehenengo erronkan.

- Megan Nielsen patroi etxetik beraien Briar kamisetaren sew-alonga egiten ari dira.

- Soniak eta Mariak beste lehiaketa bat antolatu dute "11 proiektu 2013rako". Hilabete bakoitzean proiektu desberdin bat egiteko aukera daukazue.

Norbaitek beste erronkaren bati buruz badaki komentatu horrela denok enteratzen gara. Musu handi bat guztiontzat!

Well, I am veeeeeery busy, but if you have time to sew stuff, I will find for you more interesting sew-along and challenges in the blogosphere. I can´t participate in all the challenges but maybe you can:

- Lolita Patterns is a new indie patterns company with a new and free skirt pattern. They are going to host a sew-along with their "Fuchsia skirt" on 11th of february.
- Julia Bobbin is hosting the Mad Men Dress Challenge 2. In the first challenge they had sewed amazing garments.
- Megan Nielsen is hosting the Briar sew-along.
- Sonia and Maria have created the "11 projects for the 2013". Each month, you have to sew something different about a given topic.

If you know about some challenge, leave a comment below please! A big kiss for all my dear readers!
