Hello, Needlework Monday friends! It's a real pleasure to be back with you all. It's been a while since I last shared anything about my sewing projects, and I must confess I've been a bit absent due to a lack of time and, occasionally, inspiration. Sometimes, life gets so busy that it's hard to find time to pursue our passions. However, I've decided to revisit my love of sewing, and as part of this comeback, I set out to create something special. Today I want to show you a shirt I made using scraps of fabric I had stored away. This project has not only been a way to recycle materials but also an opportunity to let my creativity run wild and explore new color and texture combinations. I hope you enjoy the process as much as I did.

A while ago, I embarked on creating several shirts and tops using scraps of assorted fabric. It was a very exciting process, as I strove to combine colors harmoniously. I remember being very motivated at the time; I had made several garments in a short amount of time. However, since I started studying, I haven't had the opportunity to sew as much as I would like. I should also mention that the sewing machine I use isn't mine, but my mom's. This has also influenced my ability to dedicate time to sewing. I used to spend almost the entire day working on a single top, and since my sewing experience is limited—I only know the basics—I felt a little discouraged and stopped sewing. However, recently I realized I could take up this beautiful hobby again. I decided to make a shirt with several prints that I really liked and thought would work well together. I'm excited to share the process of creating this garment with you. Next, I'll tell you about the materials I used and how I made it.

• Paso nro 1

Para comenzar con la creación de mi camisa, seleccioné cuidadosamente pedazos de tela que fueran tanto estampados como de colores combinados. Entre mis elecciones, tengo un pedazo de tela con estampado de Mickey Mouse y otro con rayas,y pedazo de tela roja y blancas.Decidí que la tela de rayas sería perfecta para la parte de los hombros y el pecho, mientras que la tela de Mickey Mouse se utilizaría para la parte inferior de la camisa. Me aseguré de que ambas telas fueran suficientes para cubrir tanto la parte delantera como la trasera de la prenda.Además, agregaré un pedazo de tela roja como una franja que estará situada en el medio de las dos telas. Para las mangas, he decidido que una será de tela blanca y la otra será de Mickey Mouse, creando un contraste divertido. En cuanto al cuello, utilizaré tela roja para darle un toque final a la camisa.Ahora, con la ayuda de un patrón, comencé a cortar los pedazos de tela.

• Paso nro 1

To begin creating my shirt, I carefully selected pieces of fabric that were both patterned and color-coordinated. Among my choices, I have a piece of Mickey Mouse-print fabric, a piece of striped fabric, and a piece of red and white fabric. I decided the striped fabric would be perfect for the shoulders and chest, while the Mickey Mouse fabric would be used for the bottom of the shirt. I made sure both fabrics were long enough to cover both the front and back of the garment. Additionally, I will add a piece of red fabric as a stripe that will be located in the middle of the two fabrics. For the sleeves, I have decided that one will be white fabric and the other will be Mickey Mouse, creating a fun contrast. As for the collar, I will use red fabric to give the shirt a finishing touch. Now, with the help of a pattern, I began cutting the pieces of fabric.

Una vez que tuve todos los pedazos de tela cortados, pasé a la emocionante etapa de coser las piezas juntas. Comencé uniendo los pedazos de tela, asegurándome de que todo estuviera alineado correctamente. Primero, cosí la parte de los hombros, uniendo la tela de rayas con la parte superior de la camisa.

Once I had all the fabric pieces cut, I moved on to the exciting stage of sewing the pieces together. I started by joining the fabric pieces together, making sure everything was aligned correctly. First, I sewed the shoulder seams, joining the striped fabric to the top of the shirt.

• Paso nro 3

Después de coser la parte de los hombros, pasé a coser las mangas. Para esto decidí que una manga sería de tela blanca y la otra de estampado de Mickey Mouse, lo que le dará un toque divertido y asimétrico a la camisa.Comencé por unir cada manga al cuerpo de la camisa, asegurándome de que estuvieran bien alineadas. Al coser, presté especial atención a las costuras para que todo quedara parejo y sin arrugas.Una vez que las mangas estaban cosidas, me detuve un momento para admirar el progreso. La combinación de colores y estampados estaba empezando a verse muy bien.

After sewing the shoulders, I moved on to sewing the sleeves. For this, I decided that one sleeve would be made of white fabric and the other with a Mickey Mouse print, which would give the shirt a fun, asymmetrical touch. I started by joining each sleeve to the body of the shirt, making sure they were properly aligned. As I sewed, I paid special attention to the seams so everything was even and wrinkle-free. Once the sleeves were sewn, I paused for a moment to admire the progress. The combination of colors and prints was starting to look really good.

• Paso nro 4

Para finalizar voy a coser la parte del cuello. Para ello, utilicé la tela roja que había seleccionado anteriormente. Al unir el cuello, me aseguré de que quedara bien ajustado y que complementara el resto de la camisa.Una vez que el cuello estuvo cosido, pasé a coser los laterales de la camisa. Esto fue crucial para darle forma y estructura a la prenda. Me aseguré de que todo estuviera alineado correctamente para que las costuras fueran uniformes.Después de coser los laterales, me ocupé del ruedo. Doblé el borde inferior de la camisa y lo cosí para darle un acabado limpio y profesional. Este paso final realmente marcó la diferencia, ya que le dio a la camisa un toque pulido.

To finish, I'm going to sew the collar. To do this, I used the red fabric I had selected earlier. When joining the collar, I made sure it was snug and complemented the rest of the shirt. Once the collar was sewn, I moved on to sewing the sides of the shirt. This was crucial for giving the garment shape and structure. I made sure everything was aligned correctly so the seams would be even. After sewing the sides, I tackled the hem. I folded the bottom edge of the shirt over and sewed it to give it a clean, professional finish. This final step really made a difference, as it gave the shirt a polished look.
