<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Oggi è il nostro turno per l'Avvento Creativo e vi proponiamo un tutorial per creare una decorazione speciale per Natale: l'Acchiappasogni Natalizio.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">L'Acchiappasogni o Dreamcatcher si trasforma </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">per Natale</span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> per diventare una decorazione da appendere all'ingresso di casa oppure all'interno, anche come porta regalini. Infatti semplicemente cambiando il numero appeso si può utilizzare l'acchiappasogni natalizio come calendario dell'Avvento, inserendo piccoli regali all'interno della tasca.</span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Vi mostriamo i semplici passi per creare questa decorazione. Innanzitutto l'occorrente:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">- Telaio da ricamo (diametro 21,5 cm )</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">- Due stoffe (stoffa per lo sfondo 25x25cm, stoffa per la tasca 25x20cm)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">- Penne per creare perle</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">- Penna cancellabile oppure matita</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">- Cerchio di cartoncino della misura del cerchio interno del telaio</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">- Nastri, pizzi, ritagli, mollette e piccole decorazioni...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Naturalmente si può utilizzare un telaio da ricamo più grande oppure più piccolo e in questo caso sarà necessario calcolare la misura delle stoffe, considerando sempre almeno 1,5 cm di margine tutto intorno al telaio.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Per iniziare scegliere una stoffa per il fondo e controllare che sbordi di almeno 1,5 cm rispetto al cerchio interno del telaio da ricamo. Noi abbiamo scelto di creare un patchwork di piccoli ritagli ma si può </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">semplicemente</span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">scegliere anche una stoffa a tema natalizio.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Prendendo la seconda stoffa (meglio se di un colore che si stacchi dal colore della stoffa utilizzata per lo sfondo), piegarla a metà in modo da creare la tasca.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Sovrapponendo la tasca alla stoffa scelta come sfondo, si sceglie la profondità della tasca. Utilizzando il cerchio del telaio, si segna con la penna cancellabile oppure una matita il bordo del cerchio e si utilizza questo segno per centrare la scritta che si sceglie di realizzare sulla tasca. Tracciare anche la scritta con la penna cancellabile prima di realizzarla.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">La scritta può essere realizzata adesso utilizzando una penna per creare perle oppure una penna per creare decorazioni a rilievo su stoffe. Si può anche scegliere di realizzare la scritta con il ricamo, visto che si ha già il telaio da ricamo a disposizione!</span></div>

Ricordarsi di fissare anche un filo o nastro con una molletta in fondo da utilizzare per appendere bigliettini oppure la data del calendario dell'Avvento.</span></div>

Sul retro, inserire il cerchio di cartone ritagliato in precedenza usando il cerchio interno del telaio come riferimento. Incollare la stoffa in eccesso sul cartoncino sul retro. Si può coprire il retro poi con un altro cerchio di cartoncino oppure di feltro per nascondere il bordo della stoffa. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Come fare:</b> per crearli basta un'etichetta da pacco, alcuni ritagli di stoffa natalizia e dei nastri. Sovrapponi ritagli di stoffa coordinati e di misura decrescente, aggiungi una piccola etichetta di carta con la scritta "Buon Natale", avendo cura di allineare tutto in alto. Usare la macchina da cucire con punto zigzag per fermare i vari strati. Aggiungi il nastro </span><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">nel foro rinforzato dell'etichetta da pacco ed annodare. Ecco la vostra etichetta</span><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"> di Natale handmade!</span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Ecco che cosa serve per creare la decorazione <b>Alberello di Natale</b>, da usare come decorazione per la porta di casa, per l'albero di Natale oppure per decorare un pacchetto regalo:</span><br />
<br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">4 pezzi di stoffa, ognuno circa 9cm x 11,5cm</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">1 pezzo di stoffa da usare per il retro dell'alberello circa 20x20cm</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Imbottitura</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">1 pezzo di nastro lungo circa 8 cm</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">1 bastoncino di cannella lungo circa 20cm</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Decorazioni aggiuntive come campanelli, bottoni, nastri... a piacere</span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; text-indent: -18pt;">.</span></li>
</ul>
</div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I margini di cucitura che abbiamo usato sono da 1/4 di pollice (circa 0,65cm).</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Inizia tagliando i pezzi di stoffa ad un'altezza di 8.5cm e poi, usando le linee da 60° sul tappetino per tagliare (oppure una squadretta), taglia i lati di ciascun pezzo di stoffa per formare un triangolo. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Disponi i quattro pezzi di stoffa nell'ordine desiderato. Noi abbiamo tagliato le punte per rendere più facile cucire insieme i triangoli. Adesso cucire i tre triangoli inferiori insieme, come nella foto. Poi cucire il triangolo superiore, centrandolo sopra i tre triangoli già cuciti.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Stirare e poi posizionare i triangoli cuciti a faccia in giù sopra la stoffa per il retro. Piega il nastro a metà e posiziona in cima, tra le due stoffe, come nella foto. Usare degli spilli per tenere il nastro e le due stoffe in posizione. Adesso cucire tutto intorno, lasciando uno spazio aperto in fondo per rovesciare il tutto. Taglia via la stoffa in eccesso.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Insert the eyelet (after making a little hole) with pliers onto the paper tag and tie the tag using embroidery thread or a thin cord.

<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Start by covering your buttons. As we can’t find, at the moment, flat backed
self cover buttons here in Italy, before covering the buttons we took out the
metal hook from the back, using a pair of pliers. To cover the button, draw a
circle on the fabric about 1/2” inch wider all around the button, cut out the fabric and then fix it over
the self cover button. Close the back of the button following the product instructions.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">You can really enjoy yourself covering the
buttons with fussy cuts from scraps of fabric to create special themed drawing
pins.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Using a hot glue gun, put a dab of hot glue on
the head of the drawing pin and glue the pin to the back of the self cover button,
centering it. </span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We love Autumn. OK, we love every season, but there is something cosy about Autumn that makes this time of year so special! We're off to... collect acorns!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I breathed a sigh of relief when I saw my swap partner actually got the pincushion I sent her for the <a href="https://instagram.com/p/7_S0BqKTnu/?taken-by=ellaandnesta" target="_blank">#igpincushionswap</a>! I had been worrying the parcel I sent would never arrive and instead it did, safe and sound. As my Hoop Pincushion suits the season (and the weather!) I thought of posting a few photos... My partner likes it and that makes me so happy.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I found a really good tutorial for making hoop pincushions at <a href="http://bumblebeelinens.com/blog/diy-embroidery-hoop-pin-cushion-tutorial/" target="_blank">Bumblebee Linens</a>. Really worth trying! The only variation I made was to cover the back with a felt circle instead of using patterned card stock.</span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Hoop pincushions are very enjoyable to make and I think they can make a good decoration too (for the front door?) if you hang them up with a ribbon or trim. Definitely going to make another one!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Tuesday is Lucy's first day of Nursery School and she is getting more and more excited! Next week Ella starts school again too so what better way to start the new school year than with a little treat. For the Creative Factory's Back to School series we made a fun banner that is also a pocket to put a little treat inside for the first day of school.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Martedì è il primo giorno di Scuola Materna di Lucy e sta diventando sempre più agitata! La prossima settimana anche Ella ritorna a scuola e allora perchè non iniziare il nuovo anno scolastico con un regalino. Per Back to School di The Creative Factory abbiamo creato una bandiera divertente che è anche una tasca porta regalino per il primo giorno di scuola.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A classic yellow pencil transformed into a banner with burlap, bright gingham and stitched black lines. To hang it up... a pencil. Actually, you must have noticed, there is a trick: we stuck two pencils together to make the right length!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Una classica matita gialla si trasforma in stendardo con tela, allegra stoffa a quadretti e linee nere cucite. Per appenderlo... una matita. Veramente, avrai notato, c'e' il trucco: abbiamo attaccato insieme due matite per creare la lunghezza necessaria!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A "piece of paper" is attached to the banner by a pencil line (a black thread). We used this fun text fabric but it would be nice to embroider/write a message too for your children.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="color: purple;">Un "pezzo di carta" è attaccato alla bandiera da una linea di matita (un filo nero). Abbiamo usato una simpatica stoffa con testo ma sarebbe bello anche ricamare/scrivere un messaggio per i tuoi bambini.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Lately I've been carrying a small paper bag around with me in the car when I go to work, hoping to find a few minutes to do some hand sewing. Then I thought: why do I have to carry around this miserable paper bag when I can sew myself a bag that's the right size for little projects. So I got out two lovely <a href="http://www.blendfabrics.com/gallery/makers" target="_blank">The Makers Happy Crafty panels by Cori Dantini</a> and made myself a <b>Small Project Bag with minky handles</b>. Why minky handles? Because they are so soft and comfy to use!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Here is what you will need:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Two <a href="http://www.blendfabrics.com/gallery/makers" target="_blank">The Makers Happy Crafty panels by Cori Dantini</a> (or two pieces of pretty fabric, size 10.5" x 12" each);</span></li>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">To start (this is optional) embroider details on the panel using embroidery thread and an embroidery hoop. Choose the details you would like to stand out and embroider directly over the lines. There are lots of examples of embroidery stitches on the Internet you can use. </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Try the </span><a href="http://www.flamingotoes.com/how-to-do-that/embroidery-tips/" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;" target="_blank">tips here at Flamingo Toes</a><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">, for example.</span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Make the handles by folding each strip in half, lengthwise, with right sides together. After pinning (or using clips), sew along the long edge. Turn the handle right side out using a turning tool (I use a <a href="http://www.clover-usa.com/en/accessories/193-easy-turn.html?search_query=turn&results=8" target="_blank">Clover turning tool</a> but you could use a chop stick because the minky fabric is quite easy to turn).</span>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Now you're ready to make the bag. Lay down one piece of batting, then place the lining fabric on top, right face up. After finding the middle of the top edge of the lining fabric, center one minky handle, facing downwards, with about one inch of the handle overlapping on top (see photo). Make sure the minky handle is lying flat and hasn't turned. Place the fabric panel you are using for the front of the bag face down on top. Pin along the top edge and make sure the handle is pinned in place too. Sew along the top edge of the fabrics, making sure to pass several times backwards and forwards over the handle ends to secure them.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Repeat for the other side of the bag, this time using the panel you are going to use for the back of the bag and pinning the hair elastic (after cutting off the metal part) in the middle of the top edge. </span><span style="font-family: Arial;">Open up the two sides of the bag you have sewn and place one on top of the other, right sides facing. Make sure to line up the lining fabrics and the panel fabrics. Take care pinning all around the bag, making sure the handles are out of the way of the seam allowance. Be sure to line up and pin carefully the edges you have already sewn.</span><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Now sew right around the edge of the bag leaving an opening on the short edge of the lining fabrics for turning and sew backwards and forwards a few times at the beginning and the end, to reinforce the opening.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Top stitch around the edge of the bag, making sure the minky handles are out of the way while stitching. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We have been sewing some more Charm Square Fabric Trays as they are so fast and fun to make. This time we thought we'd use<b> laminated fabric</b> so you can use the little trays for food too and they are <b>easy to wipe over</b>.

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My lovely friend <a href="https://instagram.com/mara_makes/" target="_blank">Mara</a> recently decided to have a <a href="https://instagram.com/acrafty_giveaway/" target="_blank">destash on Instagram</a>. She lives in Greece with her family and, as you know, the situation there is very difficult at the moment. Her #grexitdestash was a way of making some extra money in case of need.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">When I was about four years old, I became very good friends with a girl at school, Rie. Her family came from Japan. Her Mummy organised a birthday party for her and it was the first real birthday party I went to as a child. It was great fun and when it was time to leave Rie's Mum gave each of us a present: an <b>origami </b></span><b style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">crane</b><b style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> mobile</b><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">.</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> Would you believe I still have that mobile after nearly 40 years (time passes, no calculations please!) and it is in really good condition, even though it is made out of paper.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">When Rie moved back to Japan with her family we wrote to each other for a while and then suddenly my cards returned with an "unknown address" stamp on them. I lost contact with her completely but that little party favour has kept the special memory of one of my first friends bright.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Take the piece of straight wire and turn both ends of the wire (which must be a little stiff so it doesn't bend under the weight of the cranes) around the point of your pliers. Then thread your needle with the nylon thread and thread it through the centre top of the body of your crane and then come through the hole underneath the crane. Thread a small bead on this end of the nylon thread and tie a double knot around the bead so it stays in place under the crane. If the bead passes through the hole underneath the crane then use a larger bead.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Once you've threaded the crane, tie the other end of the nylon thread to the closed ring you've made on one end of the wire. Repeat with a second origami crane, fixing it to the other end of the wire. Now pass another nylon thread through the third crane, tie the bead underneath the crane leaving a length of thread you'll tie in the middle of the wire. Tie the ring to the other end of the nylon thread and use the ring to hang up your mobile. Here is your <b>Origami Crane Mobile Party Favour!</b></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Easy to make and a very pretty decoration this <b>Origami Welcome Banner</b> is made folding a piece of white fabric to make an origami crane. We used a 12" piece of white fabric and folded it following the origami instructions for making a crane (just Google origami crane and you will find easy to follow instructions), using an iron to press every fold. You can use starch too to help keep the folds. </span></div>

Abbiamo usato un pezzo di stoffa bianca di circa 30.5 cm e l'abbiamo piegato usando le istruzioni per fare una gru (si trovano delle istruzioni molto facili su Google facendo la ricerca per "origami crane"), usando un ferro da stiro per ogni piega. Si può usare anche l'amido per tenere meglio le pieghe.</span></i></span></div>

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We made the banner using some batting and two pieces of fabric placed right sides together (the point is made using the 45° angle on the cutting mat). We stitched all the way round leaving an opening for turning the right way out. We then top stitched around the banner closing the opening. Using a bamboo stick, we folded the top of the banner over the stick and hand stitched it on the back to hold in place. Centering the fabric origami crane, we hand stitched it onto the banner using white thread to keep it in place. We then decorated the banner with beads, a tassel and a hand stamped tag. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>Abbiamo creato la bandiera usando dell'imbottitura e due pezzi di stoffa, dritto contro dritto (la punta viene creata utilizzando l'angolo a 45° del mat). Abbiamo cucito tutto intorno lasciando uno spazio per rigirare la bandiera. Abbiamo poi cucito tutto intorno vicino al bordo, chiudendo l'apertura. Usando un bastoncino di bamboo, abbiamo piegato la cima della bandiera sopra il bastoncino e cucito a mano dietro per fissarlo. Centrando la stoffa della gru origami, l'abbiamo fissata con alcuni punti cuciti a mano. Abbiamo infine decorato la bandiera con perline, una nappina ed una etichetta stampata a mano.</i></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The Creative Factory è tornata con Handmade Summer. Ci siamo appassionate ai vasi pensili che abbiamo visto ultimamente su Internet. Abbiamo trovato tanti bei tutorial per creare vasi pensili e così ci siamo divertite a crearne con della fettuccia delle magliette super colorata. Visto che il nostro gatto ha lentamente eliminiato (con i suoi salti poco precisi sul davanzale della finestra) tutti i vasi abbinati, anziché comprarne di nuovi (ancora!) abbiamo deciso di coprirli con tessuto maglia riciclato. Ecco allora un tutorial per creare dei <b>Coprivaso di Stoffa Riciclata</b>.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>The Creative Factory is back with a Handmade Summer. We have fallen for the hanging planters we've been seeing lately. We have found lots of good tutorials for making fabric hanging planters and so we had fun making our own with colourful t-shirt yarn. As our cat has slowly eliminated (with his not so precise jumping on the windowsill) all our matching vases for plants, instead of buying new ones (again!) we decided to cover our mismatching ones with recycled knit fabric. So here's a little tutorial for making <b>Recycled Fabric Vase Covers</b>.</i></span><br />

Adesso pizzica gli angoli alla base e, dopo aver inserito ancora il vaso nella tasca, disegna una linea su questi angoli, seguendo la forma del vaso. Togli il vaso e cuci lungo le linee. Se vuoi puoi tagliare via la stoffa in più, lasciando un piccolo margine.</span></div>

Now pinch the corners at the bottom and, after slipping the vase in the cover again, draw a line on these corners following the shape of the vase. Take the vase out and sew along this line. If you like you can cut off the excess fabric, leaving a seam allowance. </i></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 20.7900009155273px;"><i><span style="color: purple;">Turn right side out and you have your Recycled Vase Cover. You can turn back the excess fabric at the top of the vase or cut it off. Turning the fabric back on the outside will add an extra detail to the vase cover as the inside of the tracksuit fabric is a lighter colour.</span></i></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">E' il primo giorno dell'estate e siamo pronte a festeggiare ufficialmente il Summer Gift Party. In realtà noi abbiamo iniziato a festeggiare già dalla nostra iscrizione a questo swap party ideato da </span><a href="http://www.piccolecose-handmade.com/" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;" target="_blank">Lisa @ Piccolecose</a><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> ed </span><a href="http://www.blogacavolo.it/" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;" target="_blank">Antonella @ Blog a Cavolo</a>. <span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Abbiamo avuto il piacere di ammirare le bellissime ghirlande create dalle blogger partecipanti ed abbiamo aspettato con trepidazione per sapere chi sarebbe stata la nostra swap partner. Abbiamo festeggiato quando abbiamo conosciuto la simpaticissima e talentuosa Carla di <a href="http://craftpatisserie.com/" target="_blank">Craft Patisserie</a>. E quale emozione quando abbiamo ricevuto la sua spettacolare ghirlanda origami:</span><br />

We had the pleasure of admiring the beautiful garlands made by all the bloggers who had joined and we waited with anticipation to find out who would become our swap partner. We celebrated when we met the fun and extremely talented Carla from <a href="http://craftpatisserie.com/" target="_blank">Craft Patisserie</a>.

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>A single butterfly</b> in the garden made me stop in my tracks. Time seemed to freeze as I watched my daughter Lucy skipping after that butterfly. For a moment I wasn't there anymore, I became Lucy or rather myself as a child following a butterfly in my Grandma's beautiful garden. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">If you like cross stitching, then you’re really going
to like Hama beads too. It’s interesting to see how you can use a lot of
cross stitch patterns for making Hama bead works (and Hama bead patterns for
cross stitching too, of course). A simple cross stitch moustache pattern can
become a fun way for decorating a party straw:</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://www.pinterest.com/pin/486529565971388536/" target="_blank"><img alt=" Hama Bead Party Straw" border="0" height="316" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2dbGYWNksJGQ93jIeRrGVXa-Kt-XoV7spdtKE3uG77YJ1L4Pln4Hg9s_ddlGQiR6w4TPK00zG4G83Xo1bUUk3R21F7uAg31GOv-YOKUdMiSFhRSoOqlrX_KcoSBjlD1DFF07bKKFMqjgu/s400/Hama_bead_moustache.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>

<b><span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></b>
<b><span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Here are 6 tips for
choosing cross stitch patterns to use with Hama beads:</span></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b><br /></b></span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-indent: -18pt;">1. </span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-indent: -18pt;">Look
for simple, compact cross stitch patterns to use. Simple designs work really
well with Hama beads. Geometric patterns, like these ones used for making
coasters, are very effective:</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-indent: -18pt;">Complicated patterns with single row
stitches when used for Fusion beads tend to break if the work isn’t glued onto a
firm support:</span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-indent: -18pt;">2. </span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-indent: -18pt;">You
can still use your cross stitch pattern even if it has backstitching to outline
or draw details. The holes and the regular placing of the beads mean you can
stitch through them, just like Aida cross stitch fabric. Here is an example of face
details sewn with black thread through the beads.</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> </span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-indent: -18pt;">3. Before
starting always check that you have all the colours of beads you need for the
cross stitch pattern. Cross stitch patterns often use a lot of different
coloured threads, colours that you might not find in beads. If you’re missing
colours, see if you can find a good substitute or reduce the number of colours.</span></div>

stitching patterns with strong contrasts in colours make more interesting Hama
bead works. See all the Matrioska dolls made with Hama beads, they are so
pretty!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">And dream catchers look really good
too:</span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-indent: -18pt;">5. When
choosing a cross stitch pattern to use for a Hama bead work, always consider
size. While you can quickly put aside a cross stitch work and then pick it up again, with beads you
have to be very careful not to knock against the board and send all the pieces
flying! This means starting your work all over again.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Smaller projects, especially for
children, give instant gratification and can make pretty accessories:</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="text-indent: -18pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">6. </span></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-US" style="text-indent: -18pt;">Letting
older children work with Hama beads (beads are not suitable for young children) is a great way for introducing them to
reading cross stitch patterns. It also teaches precision and patience. Children
will quickly want to make their own patterns too! </span></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This craft is also very relaxing for adults, by
the way!</span></div>

This proves how "fashionable" anything sewing related is! </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I have to start with this ceramic vase: it's made by the Italian Designer </span><a href="http://www.vitonesta.com/" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;" target="_blank">Vito Nesta</a><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">. Nesta is a surname in Italy so you can imagine I often have problems explaining that it's my name and not my surname... Anyway, </span><a href="http://www.vitonesta.com/" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;" target="_blank">Vito Nesta</a><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> has come up with this precious gold vase that resembles a thimble, inspired by childhood memories of his Grandmother's love for sewing:</span></div>
