I finally got my hands on the famous #addicrasytrio ! š§¦ Iāve seen lots of different opinions about them and I wasnāt sure what to expect. So far, I like how the stitches seem to fly sock up! Happy with the purchase š #sockknitting #knitting #knittersofinstagram #handmadesocks

So today I spent a few hours with the nicest people at @eometric ās free workshop in the frame of #tallersobertsbcn The best has been to be able to talk with eometricpros, alumni of the 4 day workshop -now 5 days-, and learn their experience with it and how it helped with difficult projects. Now I am even more curious about this method than before! My piggybank will not hate me until I find the way to justify the investment doing patterndrafting just for hobby... maybe I should reconsider my career? Fear me, piggy bank, fear me... š #patterndrafting #patternmaking #fashion #sewing #eometric

Yesterday, Fatou, my crafty furry pal for the last 8 years, passed away. It wasnāt completely unexpected but it doesnāt make it less harmful. Today the threads are sadly untangled, the fabrics lay unwrinkled and the craft room door stays painfully open. Thanks for all this time adding the bit of challenge that I needed in my crafty adventures. You will be missed ā¤ļø #catsofinstagram #knitting #sewing #sockknitting #knittersofinstagram

Before throwing it to the washing machine, a quick pic of the finished origami blouse I made for wearing yesterday on my parents 50th wedding aniversary. I was inspired by Shingo Satoās trompe lāoeil tie neck shirt and I am pretty proud of how I developed the idea of the pattern through dart manipulation. #patternmaking #shingosato #patterndrafting #sewing #origamiblouse #dartmanipulations

Happy Sant Jordi!! Well, quite angry for me šæ @mostlymaths bought me the not precisely cheap fifth edition of āPatternmaking for Fashion Designā by Helen Joseph-Armstrong edited by Pearson Education Limited. With more than 900 pages and detailed step-by-step instructions, this is probably one of the best patternmaking books I have ever had in my hands. I was exultant, inmensely happy... what a sorrow when I noticed a gap of white pages in the menās wear chapter š And as he bought it with time to arrive for Sant Jordi, @amazon devolution period has expired. What a shame for such an expensive book š” #patternmaking #patternmakingbooks #patternmakingforfashiondesign #pearsoneducation #santjordi #helenjosepharmstrong

Taking shape nicely! Iām sure that Shingo Sato tie blouse has a complete hollow between the ātieā and the shirt (my shirt only looks like it) but anyway I achieved the trompe lāoeil effect with a real necklace and I couldnāt be prouder of myself! Now I feel confident enough to assist to one of his classes āŗļø Today I will draft the sleeves. Iām thinking in āhamā sleeves with thin cuffs. What do you think? #patterndrafting #patternmaking #sewing #sewersofinstagram #origamiblouse #shingosato #trompeloeil #dartmanipulation

Getting back on track with podcasts while sewing my Shingo Sato inspired shirt for my parentsā 50th wedding anniversary this Thursday... living on the edge, yeah! Slide to the second pic to discover one of the best sewing gadgets I bought lately. This tailorās clapper and anvil has been a great help for this project! Do you have any crafty gadget that turned out an unexpected lifesaver? Oh, and a third pic with my little āhelperā... he helps me to take breaks while sewing š #sewing #sewersofinstagram #patterndrafting #dartmanipulation #origamipattern #catsofinstagram

Showing progress of my #curioussocks by @paperdaisycreations in Elen Sock āLast Hurrahā by @triskelionyarn Slow but steady, not a pattern to follow while having other things in the mind... anyway, enjoying the ride! #knittersofinstagram #knittersofravelry #sockknitting #hhfaprilgiveaway #handmadesocks #knitstagram

Facebook reminds me that 5 years ago today I was making this ācapgrĆ²sā in @venturahosta workshop. How wonderful was that week in Navata, in the North of Catalonia! Capgrossos are literally ābig headsā made of carton. They dance in the parade before the arrival of the imposing giants in the popular main feast of the towns. If you want to know more about this Catalan tradition or want to learn to make your own capgrĆ²s, go follow @venturahosta as they teach this course in Easter (too late to tell you now, I know) and Summer. Trust me: it will be easily one of the best weeks of your crafting life! #capgrossos #cartropedra #papermache #cartonnage
