DIY: 1-2-3-no-lace-shoes!

Hello! I’m a bit late posting… time is falling on me!

I‘ve been am sick with a chest infection (courtesy from the children) and I was not able to prepare the post I wanted to publish lately. It’s still being edited but in the meantime I’d love to show you a quick DIY project.

Hana doesn’t know how to tie her shoes yet, so we always look for velcro or other easy ways as such. She liked these shoes but had laces on so we decided to add our own touch and make her life easier. The photos speak for themselves but feel free to contact me for any questions by leaving a comment.

All you need is some 5mm elastic, 4 buttons, needle, thread and scissors.

Hola! el temps se’m cau a sobre!

He estat Estic malalta, amb una infeccio de pit (per gentilesa de els nens) i no he pogut publicar el post que volia tot i que encara l’estic  preparant. El que si que us vull ensenyar es un projecte superfacil.

La Hana encara no sap cordar-se les sabates i sempre intentem comprar sabates amb velcro o alguna tanca facil. Li agradaven aquestes pero tenien cordons, aixi que ens hem sol.lucionat el problema en pocs minuts. Les fotos ja demostren les passes a seguir pero si teniu dubtes nomes cal escriure’l en un comentari i us dono un cop de ma.

Nomes necessiteu goma elastica de 5mm, 4 botons, fil, agulla i tisores.

La Hana esta creixent molt rapid i hi ha un munt de roba que vaig empaquetant per donar-la. Pero tambe hi ha peces que me les quedo, altres que vull fer servir com a patrons i despres n’hi ha d’altres que m’agradaria fer-ne alguna cosa. 
No em surt gaire be aixo de “tunejar”, pero es que mai no ho havia intentat.
Aqui teniu el meu primer intent: d’uns pantalons de pana a una faldilla. Sembla facil…o aixo creia quan veia altres blogs!
M’ha servit per practicar les vores i fer repunts, pero el resultat final no ha sigut com m’esperava. Es dificil prendre mides a una nena de quasi dos anys que no para quieta quan li ho demanes… i com que no tenia una faldilla que pogues prendre com a mida… aixi m’ha sortit!
Tinc molts mes pantalons que li van curts aixi que hi haura mes intents.

Hana is growing very fast and I have a good amount of clothes that I’m packing for the charity shop. There are some items that I like to keep and others that I use as patterns or even try to alter them and make them into something else.
I’m not very good at making them into something else, but I haven’t really tried.
Here’s my first attempt: from corduroy pant to a skirt. It looks easy… or so it seemed to me when I saw it on other blogs…!
I could practice folding and sewing hems, topstitching and little things like that. But the final product was not like I expected. It is very difficult to measure an almost 2 year old girl who doesn’t stand still when you ask her to. I didn’t have a skirt that I could use as a guide either… so well…
I have more pants that are too short for her, so there will be more attempts.

Aixo es el que he fet
This is what I did



 descosir les costures,  tallar a la llargada que vull i marca les costures del davant i darrere
open the seams, cut to the desired length and mark the new front and back seams



Fer la vora
Make a hem 
Cosir les costures del davant i del darrere
 Sew the front and back seams

 Fer un repunt
Topstitch

 I la pobra no pot caminar!
And the poor thing can’t even walk!


que hauria d’haver fet?
what should I have done?


Vaig intentar escurc,ar-la una mica al veure que quan caminava se li doblegava uns dos cm cap amunt. pero quan ho vaig fer, vaig pensar de deixar-li un tall, per obrir mes i ja em va sortir un xurro que ni ho ensenyo!!!ha ha!
Ja ho tornare a intentar…


I tried to fix it by shortening it a wee bit beacuse I saw that when she was walking it naturally folded itself up an inch. But when I did it, I thought it would be a good idea to make a vent, and that was a total fiasco! Don’t even want to take a photo of that!


I’ll try again….
