Estive cinco dias em Copenhaga que me souberam pela vida!
Adorei a cidade, tão diferente da minha, as pessoas e a possibilidade de andar de bicicleta para todo o lado.
E, como não podia deixar de ser, dei uma volta pelas lojas de tecidos e retrosarias… Por sorte encontrei um mapa com a localização da maior parte das lojas ligadas à costura, o que me tornou a vida bem mais fácil!
Sem ter propriamente perdido a cabeça, lá comprei umas coisitas… Aqui estão:
After years and years without
traveling – I’ve made my last real trip just before Teresa was born ... - I
finally managed to leave the girls with their grandmother and get on a plane!
I spent five days in Copenhagen and had the time of my life!
I loved the city, so different from Lisbon, the friendly people and the possibility of riding a bicycle all over town.
And, as you can imagine, I made a little tour around fabric shops and haberdasheries... I was lucky enough to find a map with the location of most stores related to sewing, which I made life much easier!
Some stores had quite different products from the ones we have here in Portugal so and I could help myself and bought some little things to bring home with me... Here they are:

Adorei a loja! Muita retrosaria, oganizada por cores, e pode-se mexer em tudo. Tive pena de não poder trazer mais nada porque não era barata...
Belt buckles and some ribbon from Handler Tekstiler.
I loved this store! Lost of good quality haberdashery products, displayed by colors, and I could more around and touch everything (in Portugal that's not common and usually you have to ask the staff if they have what you want and they will bring it to you). I would love to have bought more stuf but the store was quite expensive...
Amostras de tecidos de uma loja que encontrei, por acaso, no centro de Copenhaga e que não vem no mapa. Os tecidos são lindos mas não me consigo lembrar do nome da loja...
Fabric samples from a store I found as I walked in the center of Copenhagen. The prints are beautiful but, unfortunately I can't remember the store name...
Quatro moldes de roupa de criança em dinamarquês! E um conjunto de lençol e almofadas com um motive nitidamente nordico... Encontrados numa feira de sabado no bairro de Osterbro.
Four patterns in Danish! And a set of sheets with a great print... I found these on a garage sale in Ostrebro.
Uma série de tecidos giros e não muito caros da loja Stoff 2000. Acho que esta loja deve ser o equivalente ao Santo Contestável dinamarquês...
Nice and not that expensive fabrics from Stoff 2000. That's just the everyday Danish fabric store, I think. But I liked it and the prints are very different from the ones we get here in Portugal.
Três revistas antigas de moldes Ottobre, desta vez em sueco!
Three old Ottobre pattern magazines. In Swedish...
