    La mayoría piensa que esto requiere un patrón comp La mayoría piensa que esto requiere un patrón complicado… 👀

Pero esta falda empezó con una falda línea A básica.

Solo hice 2 cortes en el patrón, abrí ciertas zonas… y apareció este efecto tipo pañuelo con un movimiento súper divertido.

La hice en terciopelo para Nochevieja y fue uno de esos proyectos pimpampum:
simple, rápido y MUY satisfactorio.

Y honestamente… este tipo de proyectos son los que hacen que el patronaje deje de sentirse rígido y empiece a ser creativo 😌

Porque cuando entiendes un poco el porqué de las transformaciones…

empiezas a dejar de seguir patrones “tal cual”
y a crear cosas nuevas a tu manera.

Y si tienes el gusanillo de no solo seguir patrones sino tomar el control y hacer proyectos como esta falda de cortar por aquí, abrir por allá el patrón y crear algo nuevo… mejor que te apuntes a mi newsletter, allí lo dejo 😉

    NO TE DEJES quitar esa horita cada finde para tus NO TE DEJES quitar esa horita cada finde para tus labores.
Porque esas horas, durante unas semanas o meses, se convierten en algo bonito que llevarás durante años.

Cada invierno me hago una o dos prendas con mi Addi King Size durante esos ratitos que me guardo para tejer.

Cada finde que puedo, robo una hora para hacer una manga, medio delantero, el cuello… cada vez un panel más que poco a poco se convierte en un jersey o cualquier otra cosa.

Y este invierno me hice esto.

Ahora con tantas lluvias ya no queda tan raro publicar jerseys de cuello alto de lana en vez de bikinis 😂

Estoy enamorada de este jersey.
La lana es de Katia y tiene unos colores tan profundos y bonitos… es como llevar un abrazo de colores encima.

Y creo que ya es momento de guardar la Addi hasta la próxima temporada porque tengo muchísimos proyectos esperando para la máquina de coser.

    Este fue el primer top que hizo Julia en clase 💚 U Este fue el primer top que hizo Julia en clase 💚
Un top sencillo, verde oliva…
su primera prenda.
Y cuando quiso hacer algo diferente la siguiente vez…

No buscamos otro patrón.
Transformamos el suyo.
A partir del mismo patrón base, creó este top de cuadros vichy con tirantes y un vuelo fruncido…y le ha quedado chulísimo!

Y esto es lo que más me gusta de las clases:
No se trata de acumular patrones.
Se trata de aprender a usarlos de verdad.
A cambiarlos.
A adaptarlos.
A hacerlos tuyos.

Cada una trabaja en su proyecto, a su ritmo…
pero con ese momento en el que todo empieza a tener sentido.
Esto es solo una de las cosas que hacemos en clase.

Si quieres unirte, escríbeme y te cuento 😊
    Este top lo hice para un desafío dentro del Club d Este top lo hice para un desafío dentro del Club de Patronaje Creativo.

La idea era crear un top inspirado en tendencias…
pero llevado a tu propia versión 

Con este ejemplo enseñaba cómo hackear un patrón
para añadir este cuello chal drapeado
y el volante en la cintura.

Hackear patrones es, sin duda, lo que más disfruto de la costura.

El club está cerrado ahora mismo,
pero cuando vuelva a abrir, este desafío también estará disponible.

    Patrícia llegó el lunes a clase con este chaleco h Patrícia llegó el lunes a clase con este chaleco hecho por ella…
¿A que mola muchísimo? 😍

Clonó un chaleco de su hija y lo recreó con esta tela de pelo, forrado por dentron en la clase de costura.

Y aquí viene lo interesante:

Lo difícil no fue copiar el patrón.
Fue coser estas dos telas “rebeldes” que, a pesar del hilvanado, hacían todo lo posible por sabotear el proceso.

Pero Patrícia no se rindió ✂️
Y ahora tiene un nuevo fichaje en su armario… matchy matchy con su hija.

Me encanta ver estos resultados en clase 💛
