			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="ngg-singlepic ngg-none" src="http://treatsandtricks.com/wp-content/gallery/chita-cushions/07-chita-cushions.jpg" alt="chita cushions" /></p>
<p>Chita, a fabric with floral patterns and full of color, is present in the most remote memories of my childhood. I remember we had a mattress covers for the summer camp made with this fabric.</p>
<p>Made of rustic cotton with fewer threads, Chita is usually discriminated by being associated with people of lower income &#8211; mainly because it is cheap.</p>
<p>One of these days, my sister asked me to make colorful cushions for her couch &#8211; the room needed more joy. I thought to use Chita Right away but she made a ugly face. Anyway I didn’t quit: I decided to use this fabric to make traditional patchwork patterns.</p>
<p>The result was excellent: besides Chita I used another plain cotton fabric also more rustic, the poplin.</p>

<p>A Chita, <a href="http://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chita_(tecido)" target="_blank"><strong>tecido com estampas florais e cheio de cores</strong></a>, está presente em minhas mais remotas lembranças da infância. Recordo minha mãe preparando capas para os acampamentos de verão usando estes tecidos coloridos.</p>
<p>Feitas em algodão mais rústico, com menos fios, a Chita é de certa forma discriminada por estar associado a pessoas de mais baixa renda – principalmente porque custa bem barato.</p>
<p>Outro dia, minha irmã me pediu para fazer almofadas bem coloridas para seu sofá – a sala pedia mais alegria. Logo pensei na Chita, mas ela fez cara feia. Ainda assim não desisti: resolvi usar o tecido para fazer almofadas com padrões clássicos do patchwork.</p>
<p>O resultado ficou excelente: além da Chita usei um tecido liso de algodão também mais rústico, o popeline.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.clafc.dreamhosters.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/pin-cushion-and-scissor-holder.jpg" rel="lightbox[125]" title="pin cushion and scissor holder"><img class="size-full wp-image-124 alignnone" title="pin cushion and scissor holder" src="http://www.clafc.dreamhosters.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/pin-cushion-and-scissor-holder.jpg" alt="pin cushion and scissor holder" width="800" height="623" /></a></p>
<p>Instead of keep cracking my head with difficult and looooong projects, I decided to move a step back and choose a simple and fisable project, so I would feel good about sewing again.</p>
<p>Of course I wouldn&#8217;t be satisfied by a simple pin cushion that is why I made a <a href="http://sewing.craftgossip.com/pretty-floral-pincushions/2008/04/15/" target="_blank"><strong>flower pin cushion</strong></a> and also a <a href="http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/429406/how_to_make_a_homemade_decorative_kitchen.html" target="_blank"><strong>scissor holder</strong></a>. Both were a gift for my mother-in-law, who is also a craft lover.</p>
<p>******</p>
<p>Ao invés de continuar quebrando a cabeça com projetos difíceis e looooongos, decidi dar um passo para trás e escolher um projeto simples e factível, para voltar a curtir minhas aventuras de costura.</p>
<p>Claro que eu não ia me satisfazer com um simples alfineteiro por isso, além de fazer um alfineteiro de flor fiz também um porta-tesoura. Ambos foram para presentear minha sogra, que também adora artesanato.</p>
