A fun sujetacortinas (subject curtains)



How many times we have had to hold a curtain to let in more light and we had to do hold. This problem is over, I leave a fun idea, especially when there are young children at home (or greater than the color you like) and want to cheer a sad curtains.

For this we need:

- Clothespin wood

- Felt color

- Eyes doll

- Gun and silicone wax

To make these fun sujetacortinas, felt cut in the shape we want, in this case we chose a star. And sew around the edge to avoid fraying.

Also we hit the eye with silicone wax and draw a smile to chain. ( Types stitch )

Cut strips of the size of the clamp over and attached as follows

We decided to do the same with the inside, lest we engage the curtains.

Finally, we shall gain a sujetacortinas fun.

I hope you feel encouraged to give color to your walls.

See you soon.

Cover material

 

 

 

It will expand our craft, so it is important to have all the tools within easy reach. So we have prepared a new portatijera where we keep scissors, seam ripper and a pen or pencil with which to make our notes or measures.

To do this we need scissor holder:

Our patchwork kit (table, cuter rule, pencil and thimble) 

Two fabrics and a piece of wadding, cut to size of 22x17

Once we cut, arrange them as follows, "Pretty nice cloth fabric" and on these the batting. I put a picture to see him more graphically.



Once we have placed the hold with pins as in the photo is very important to place the corners well.

In the patchwork the pins are placed vertically, as this allows the machine to sew without the hassles and if you sew by hand, have a greater facility to hold the fabric and not pincharnos.

We then sewing machine, our seam allowance (space between the edge of the fabric and sewing), we will be given by the skate machine. It seems hard to understand, but a picture is worth a thousand words.



Sew all around, leaving a piece (2-3cm), to turn to the work and see the sides so beautiful, we remember are still inside.

When we have gone around, sew a blind stitch that bit, and make a few folds.

Once we have given the desired shape, we subject these bends with blind stitch, and this is the result.

I hope you liked it and who decides to make one.

See you soon.

The hot spring

.

As we all know the braziers were used before to warm. It threw the embers and kept to warm people. What was used was the cisco or lapilli, which are a type of charcoal. The braziers were placed on tables and stretchers which were not in direct contact with the ground is placed on a floor at the bottom of the table.

Now today the braziers are deprecated in most of Spain, especially of this type to be dangerous to inhale carbon monoxide by poor aeration. In some areas has been changed by the electric brazier and elsewhere, I would say that in most this heating.

After recalling the use that was given to the brazier and since we have one at home that we do not know what to do with it, we will change the look.

The first thing we will do is clean it well and for this we will take a very fine grit sandpaper and sanding we will whole. We choose a fine grit sandpaper to not scratch us. After sanding, clean rune we will give paint. In our case we chose the blue. After letting it dry see the look that we have left and we decided to hand over another painting as they notice some imperfections.

Once sufficient time to dry the second coat of paint, we have chosen a reason to decorate spring. Some butterflies fluttering around flowers and flowers at the edges, especially in another shade of blue.

This is the result.

You know your image change stuff.

See you soon.

The first stitches

 

All we ever practiced cross point in our lives. Either because they have tried to teach our grandmothers or at school, in art class. And as we all have a beginning, here is my sister.

At different points we can see that they are the first stitches.

Techniques for making this doily were:

• The edge is sewn with scapular point.

• The sun's rays are embroidered.

• The contour of the eye is sharp ridge.

• The dots of clouds are filled.

A basis point is this, the point back, especially for patchwork, because the fabrics are attached to this item.



After practicing, the stitches are having the most defined. What started as a game ended as a hobby that is giving spectacular results, which we will gradually hung.

See you soon!
