And the xaile goes on...

It is almost Friday and I’m still on the 4 clue.

Tomorrow the seven clue, and last one are out, and I’m so far behind!

I’ve got my doubt about this xaile. He looks a little small. Let’s see when I’ll finish the last clue if I see that he is small, I have to frog it and just do some repeats of some clues.

Here are some photos of the detail of every clue.

This time i got the real colour!

Adventures in the fabric land

Making experiences with fabric

Tried to make this little cute basket, the pattern of how to do is here, and you really can’t go wrong!

I was so happy, that i made another one, Ha ha.

Then i tried to make a bird, yes this was supposed to look like a bird, i realy can’t see there a bird, but that is just me!!

Someone thougth it was very cute, but still it didn’t went to the toys room.

Made also this chicken mobile for the girls room.

Put some beads in between the chickens.

It was fun to do, this one i like how it looked at the end. Next time must try to make in fabric.

Made also this little apron for the bottles of wine.

This is a good idea to give to someone when you go to to their house for dinner, quick to make, and the owner will be happy.

But all this post comes to a conclusion. Lately i just fall in love with Tildas.

Love the colors that they use, love the decoration that they present, and just because it isn’t too girlish. You can adapt the pattern to your how convenience.

I’ve already made some litle experiences, but that will be a mather for another post.

See you all

Mistery Project, my first xaile.

This is the second project that i make for the site tricoteiras (a Brazilian site)

They just give us part of the pattern per week, and that is it.

Just a note: the true color of the xale is in the first photo.

First clue

Second Clue

Third Clue

This one is going to take maybe 1 month and a half to get all out, let´s see if I can keep up with it!!!

I always had the idea that shawls were for old people, yes you can buuuu-me.

But I’ve seen so many wonderful projects in the net, with such wonderful designs, that I really want to try one for me!!

After all it became fashion!!!

Time to go...

Mini Work

Another finished pieces in knitting.
Two bennies for the girls, and a scarf.

The winter is starting to give his appearance, and some warm clothes are always welcome.

Well back to work.

See you all in the next post.

How to make the legs of pants longer.

Another transformation, from old to new.

These ones I really don´t understand. They are too short to be pants, and too long for shorts.

So since Nicole needs some more pants, and they have the perfect size in the waist, I decided to make a plan to make them longer in the legs.

I’ve cut 2 rectangles of fabric with the double of the measure of the pants.

And join to the fabric to the pants with some ruffles in the fabric, and on top I’ve put some bias tape.

Now to take the most advantage of the pants I put their hem down, you can see the photo that white line, so I just sew on top another bias tape.

And that was all.

She gave the highest score for the new pants. And I’m happy to be able to restore old clothes, and give them a new extra look.

Just trying to save some $$$

Today I’m only here to show some skirts that I’ve made.

Using some old shorts, babies’ dresses, and old pants, I’ve join them together and there are now two new skirts for Angelina’s closet!

And this one is made from scratch. A new skirt for Nicole’s ballet.

Is made in double layer, and the first layer as some embroidery in the outline.

She love’s it!
