Probablemente recuerden que hace casi un año hice esta colaboración en el blog de mi blogger amiga Paula de "La punta del obelisco", a pesar de ser una colaboración especial, lo voy a compartir a través de mi blog, porque en el blog de Paula no aparce en inglés y algunas personas me han escrito pidiendo que si podía publicarlo con las instrucciones en inglés, así que aquí lo tienen.
You probably remember that almost a year ago I did this collaboration on the blog of my blogger friend Paula of "La punta del obelisco", this is the original entrance, despite being a special collaboration, I'll share it through my blog, because the blog Paula is not published in English and some people have written to me asking if I could post it with instructions in English, so here it is.
Vamos a hacer una divertida bolsita con la cara de un gatito, lo primero que tienes que hacer es imprimir en una hoja tamaño carta la plantilla que he dibujado a mano, este es un accesorio ideal para las niñas porque se trata de una pequeña bolsa, pero si tu estas interesada en hacer un bolso de un tamaño más grande solo tienes que ampliar esta plantilla al tamaño deseado.
Let's make a fun bag with the face of a kitten, the first thing you have to do is print a letter size paper template that I drew by hand, this is an ideal accessory for girls because it's a small bag, but if you're interested in making a bag of a larger size just have to extend this template to the desired size.

Vamos a utilizar dos tipos diferentes de tela, una lisa para usar al frente y una estampada como forro, en este caso he utilizado una tela razo en color rosa palo. Tienes que cortar 2 piezas de cada tela,es importante agregar un cm alrededor para las costuras, después de cortar las 4 piezas vas a tener algo como esto.....
We will use two different types of fabric, a plain front to use as a liner and a stamped, in this case I used a pale pink color fabric. You have to cut 2 pieces of each material, it is important to add an cm around the seams, after cutting the four pieces you have something like this .....

Ahora es momento de dibujar el rostro del gato, si utilizas una tela delgada es más fácil calcar el rostro impreso en la plantilla, he utilizado una tela de un rosa pastel para hacer las mejillas las cuales puedes hacer también utilizando fieltro rosa, para los ojos he utilizado fieltro blanco, el resto lo he dibujado usando una pintura textil. Now it's time to draw the face of the cat, if you use a thin fabric is easier to trace the face printed on the template, I used a fabric of a pastel pink cheeks to which you can also use pink felt for the eyes I used white felt, the rest I have drawn using fabric paint.
Mientras se termina de secar la pintura puedes empezar a coser el contorno del forro, no coser la parte de arriba y en el fondo del forro también hay que dejar una abertura porque por ahí se va a voltear la bolsa al final. (ver foto )
While dry paint finishes can start stitching the liner contour not sew the top and bottom of the liner must also leave an opening because there is going to turn the bag at the end. (see photo)

Una vez que este seca la pintura vas a coser de la misma manera que lo hiciste con el forro pero esta vez no es necesario dejar la abertura en el fondo de la bolsa, esta bolsa esta cosida con máquina de coser pero si tu no eres experta con la máquina puedes hacerlo con hilo y aguja utilizando pequeñas puntadas.
Once the paint is dry you sew the same way you did with the liner but this time it is necessary to leave the opening at the bottom of the bag, this bag is sewn with a sewing machine but if you're not an expert the machine can do it with a needle and thread using small stitches.

Al terminar de coser vas a voltear la bolsa al derecho, puedes notar que los ojos están blancos porque lo ultimo que hice fue pintar la pupila negra, lo he dejado hasta al final porque la pintura se tarda más tiempo en secar cuando es aplicada en fieltro.
Ahora vas a meter la bolsa dentro del forro, es importante que los lados queden frente con frente es decir que la cara del gato quede frente al estampado de la tela de nuestro forro, hay que acomodar muy bien las dos piezas,
When you finish sewing the bag to turn right, you may notice that the eyes are white because the last thing I did was paint the black pupil, I have left it until the end because the paint takes longer to dry when applied in felt . Now you put the bag inside the lining, it is important that the front sides are faced with is that the cat's face is facing the printed fabric of our shell, we must accommodate very well the two pieces,

Ahora hay que coser las dos piezas juntas es decir frente con forro, debes ser muy cuidadosa al coser la orejas dejando muy bien marcado el pico de la oreja para que al final se puedan apreciar bien las orejas del gato.
Now we have to sew the two pieces together, the face fabric with lining fabric, you must be very careful to sew the ears leaving well marked the peak of the ear that eventually may well appreciate the cat's ears.

así es como se ve la bolsa cuando esta completamente cosido el forro con la tela del frente.
that's how you see the bag when fully sewn with fabric lining Front.

Ahora es momento de voltear la bolsa, lo vas a hacer por la abertura que dejaste en el forro,
Now it's time to flip the bag, you're going to do for the opening you left in the lining,

Para hacer las correas de la bolsita vamos a cortar dos piezas de tela de 70 cms de largo por 10 cms de ancho (ver foto) yo utilice una tela de diferente color pero puedes usar la misma tela o si lo prefieres también puedes usar listón.To make the bag straps we cut two pieces of fabric 70 cm long and 10 cm wide (see photo) I use a different colored fabric but you can use the same fabric or if you prefer you can also use ribbon.
Para coser las correas hay que doblar a la mitad y coser, después voltear la correa y planchar. To sew the straps have to fold in half and sew, then flip and iron belt.
Con hilo y aguja se va a coser una correa en cada extremo, les recomiendo coser la correa únicamente sobre la tela del forro para que no se noten las puntadas en el exterior, he dejado estas dos correas abiertas para se puedan cerrar por medio de un moño, esto también va ayudar para usar la bolsa de diferentes maneras ya sea bolsa corta o larga.
With needle and thread will sew a strap on each end, I recommend sewing the strap only on the lining fabric so you do not notice the stitching on the outside, I have left open for these two belts closable by a bun, this will also help to use different ways bag bag either short or long.

Para terminar el bolso he pintado la pupila del ojo en color negro y también he agregado unos cuantos puntos debajo de la nariz.To finish the bag I painted the pupil of the eye in black and I've also added a few points below the nose.
Esta es mi pequeña hija Emma disfrutando su nuevo bolso !This is my little daughter Emma enjoying her new bag!
