Setembro é mês de festas. Não sei porquê mas é!
Por isso os serões da semana que acabou foram passados a preparar presentes feitos em casa. Pode dar mais trabalho mas dá muito mais gozo oferecer algo que foi feito por mim. E, normalmente, acho que quem recebe fica agradavelmente surpreendido.
Dois amigos meus da Faculdade, a Ana e o Marcus, fazem 10 anos de casados e resolveram fazer um picnic para comemorar. Vou levar-lhes uma grinalda de corações. A ideia e o tutorial podem ser vistos no blog da Dana.
Para a minha amiga Rita, que fez anos na semana passada, fiz uma mala. Usei pela primeira vez uma das fazendas que comprei na feira de Carcavelos o ano passado. É de ótima qualidade, 100% lã com um toque espetacular. Para o forro escolhi um tecido de uma toalha de mesa da loja de decoração Área. Como o saco ficou muito simples (devia ter feito um bolso exterior…) acabei por juntar uma espécie de aplicação que pode ser usada como porta-chaves feita com pedaços do tecido do forro. Fazer um saco foi divertido, só não estava à espera que costurar fazenda pudesse ser tão difícil…
A Teresa e a Inês também têm uma amiga que faz 5 anos este fim-de-semana, a Mafalda. Para ela achei que tinha graça fazer um jogo de memória. Usei cartão cinzento e vários restos de tecido. Fiz ainda um saco para guardar as peças. Só espero que, no meio das rapunzeis ebarbies, o jogo faça algum sucesso…
There are so many parties in September. I don’t know why but it happens every year!
So this week’s evenings were spent preparing homemade gifts. It may take more time and lots of hard work, but I just love to make the gifts that I offer. And I think that, usually, whoever receives it is pleasantly surprised.
Ana and Marcus, my friends from college, are married for 10 years and decided to make a picnic to celebrate it. I'll take them a hearts garland. The idea and the tutorial can be found at Dana's blog.
To my friend Rita, whose birthday was last weekend, I made a tote bag. I used for the first time one of the fabrics that I bought last year at the Carcavelos Street Market. The quality could not be better: 100% soft wool. For the lining I chose a tablecloth fabric from Area. As the bag turned out to be very simple (I should have added an outside pocket ...) I ended up joining a kind of an application that can be used as a key ring and was made with pieces of fabric from the linen. Sewing a bag was fun. I just wasn’t expecting that sewing wool could be so difficult ...
Teresa and Inês have a friend, Mafalda, who turns 5 this weekend. I thought it would be fun to make her a memory card game. I used gray cardboard and various scraps of fabric. I also made a bag to store all the pieces. I just hope that, amongst all the rapunzel e barbie dolls, the game make some success...
