A costura nao e um dos meus pontos fortes mas, por isso mesmo, decidi fazer varios pequenos projectos para aproveitar ao maximo a quantidade de tecido disponivel e tentar aprender mais algumas tecnicas. Depois de alguma pesquisa na internet, encontrei este site com instrucoes bastante claras para fazer uma bolsinha, fiz duas (e ficaram um bocadinho tortas), e este com um alfineteiro que adorei. Sendo pouco experiente, cumpri as instrucoes a risca com ambos. E fiz ainda um marcador de livros rectangular que adornei com uma pequena tranca de fio dourado e dois pendentes em forma de folha. Tem dentro dois rectangulos de cartao para lhe dar mais estabilidade.
This week we had not a theme but a material to work with - a fat quarter, which is a one-fourth yard cut of fabric that measures about 18" x 22". The suggestion links Fat Tuesday with the French Quarter in New Orleans.
Sewing is not one of my strongest skills, but for that reason I decided to make several little projects to make the most use of the material available and try to learn a few more techniques. After some online research I found this site with very clear instructions on how to make a pouch, I made two (that didn't turn out very straight), and this one with a tutorial on how to make a pincushion I really liked (even using felt for the bottom I didn't go over the dimensions). Being inexperienced I followed the instructions to the letter on both. I also made a rectangular bookmark decorated with a small gold thread braid and two leaf shapped charms. Inside there are two cardboard rectangles to give it more stability. (somehow this a different font than above and I can't seem to change to be the same......)
