Although I
have not much time and energy for sewing recently, I’ve started the Tildamonkeys project I’ve shown you some weeks ago. Look at their faces!! They’re so
cute! I’ve finished all their body parts and I need to buy some material to
fill them. Which one do you use? And where do you buy it?

Inspiración - ¿Qué hacer con los restos de lana?
















I must
reduce my wool stash urgently. My craft storage is full of wool and cotton balls
from different past projects (some mines and some inherited). The first step is
to categorize the unlabeled balls (the most of them). For that purpose, thispost of Desmadejada with some tips to identify a yarn gauge, needle size, length,
etc., is very useful. Once clear, here you have some inspirational ideas
regarding what to do with your stash. And don’t forget the sample step!

¿Se lavan las telas antes de coserlas?

Prewashing
fabrics before their use is a big debate in the world of quilting. There are pros
and cons to both options. These are some of the arguments for prewashing: it
prevents vibrant dyes from spreading onto other fabric, fabric shrinks when
it's washed and dried and this can cause some distortion in a finished
quilt if the items have not been previously washed before they were cut and
sewn, any sizing or chemicals that have been used on the fabric are removed.
On the other hand, new fabric has sizing, that creates ease when cutting and
piecing. Once the sizing is washed out, the fabric loses that crispness.
Having all this in mind, what do you used to do?

Móvil a crochet - Medusitas
Este patrón también es gratuito, pero está en inglés.
¡Lo que está claro es que los animales marinos están de moda!
¡Buen finde!
Some weeks ago,
I presented you in this post the solidarity initiative of crocheting little
octopuses for premature babies. Today I come back to you with another project using ocean creatures: an infant's mobile with jellyfishes. You have all the
information in this link, as well as the free pattern. It’s clear that crocheted
sea animals are in fashion!

Monitos TILDA
Some weeks
ago we talked about the Tilda World, and its best known characters, the dolls
(you can check the post here). I’ve decided to start a new Tilda project but
with these funny monkeys. The kit includes all the necessary for them. I will
tell you how it went.

Mi JOSP de Cala Coru
Bueno, pues este es el resultado final de mi JOSP, el CAL que organizó Ca La Coru hace unas semanas.
Me ha gustado mucho hacer este proyecto. El patrón y las indicaciones de Ester son estupendos.
La única cosa es que a mí se me quedó un poco cortito y decidí ponerle un añadido abajo para alargarlo un poco.
La vista del cuello queda un poco vuelta hacia afuera pero me gusta el efecto. Seguramente se debe al tipo de tela que he elegido, un punto fino, un poco más ligera que el previsto para el CAL, seguro que me permite usar la camisola durante más tiempo aquí en Sevilla.
¡Gracias Ester!
¡Buen finde!
Here there is my JOSP! The SAL organized by Ca La Coru some weeks ago. It was a nice and easy project. The final length was a bit too short for me, so I included an extra piece of fabric to solve it. Anyway, I love the final result. Thank you Ester!
