First purse attempt | Minha primeira tentativa de bolsa

As any woman, I have a fixation for purses. I love having different types and textures so I can choose which best fits with my mood of the day. Therefore, as soon as I began my venture into the world of patchwork, I looked into specialized magazines to find out how to make handbags of different models and sizes.

Before starting a new project, I usually search for the step by step instructions in different magazines. Thus, normally I decide to modify or combine them to create something “unique”. However, not always this “unique” impetus works for a beginner in the world of patchwork.

Because I LOVE red, which is one of the fabric colors I have the most, my first bag had to be a basic compound of red and white. After carefully choosing the prints and following my adapted project, something went wrong when I tried to attach the ends of bag bottom.

Even not ending how I had planned, the result was worth the learning. After all, the best of having patchwork as a hobby is not to be obligated to follow a very strict specification and be able to experiment.

Como toda mulher, tenho uma fixação por bolsas. Adoro ter diferentes tipos e texturas para então escolher a que melhor se encaixa com o meu humor naquele dia. Por isso, quando comecei a me aventurar no mundo do patchwork, logo procurei o auxílio de revistas especializadas para descobrir como fazer bolsas de diferentes modelos e tamanhos.

Antes de iniciar um novo projeto, tenho o hábito de olhar o passo-a-passo em várias revistas. Assim, normalmente  decido modificá-las ou combiná-las para criar algo “único”. Entretanto, nem sempre este ímpeto pelo diferente funciona para uma iniciante no mundo do patchwork.

Como adoro vermelho – aliás, é uma das cores de tecido que tenho mais variedades -, minha primeira bolsa tinha de ser composta basicamente por vermelho e branco. Depois de escolher com cuidado as estampas e seguir meu projeto adaptado, algo deu errado quando fui juntar as extremidades do trabalho.

Mesmo não tendo ficado como eu havia planejado, a experiência valeu pelo aprendizado. Afinal, o melhor de ter o patchwork como um hobby é não ser obrigada a seguir uma especificação muito rígida e poder soltar a imaginação.
