Miu Miu S/S 2010 is one of the best collections I've ever seen. The chandelier tops, the beautiful sleeves, the wonderful accesories... and the prints! Miuccia presented a very unexpected series of prints that covered all the fabrics and the brooches embellished the handbags, the shirts, the skirts, and shoes. When I saw the cat brooch, I thought: "Hey, this is very easy to do!"

La colección de Miu Miu S/S 2010 es una de las mejores que he visto jamás. Los tops con cristales tipo lámpara de araña, las mangas abullonadas, los accesorios... y los estampados! Miuccia presentó una inesperada serie de ilustraciones que adornaban los bolsos, las faldas, las camisas, y los zapatos. Cuando vi el broche con forma de gato, pensé: "¡Pero si es facilísimo de hacer!"

You need:

Tijeras, papel, un rotulador, fieltro (del color que quieras), imperdibles y pegamento.

How to do it:
I drew the different figures (a swallow, a cat, a dog and a woman). The process is the same on every of the drawings. /// He dibujado las diferentes figuras (una golondrina, un gato, un perro y una mujer). El proceso es el mismo con cada dibujo.

Step 1:

Print the pattern. Cut it. /// Imprime la plantilla y recórtala.

Step 2:


Cut a piece of felt and place the print on it. Then use it as a pattern and draw it on the felt. /// Corta un trozo de fieltro y coloca encima el dibujo recortado, úsalo como molde y dibuja la silueta sobre el fieltro.

Step 3:
Cut the silhouette, and draw the details with the marker. /// Recorta la silueta y añade los detalles con el rotulador.

How to attach the safety pin:
If you don't want the safety pin to be visible, you'll have to cut the pattern in two steps. See the example of the cat: /// Si no quieres que el imperdible se vea, tienes que cortar la silueta en dos partes. Vee el ejemplo del gato:

The safety pin is placed under the head (which has been cut aside and glued to the body). In the case of the swallow and the dog, you can place it under the head of the bird, and with the woman, under the leg. /// El imperdible va por debajo de la cabeza, la cual ha sido cortada aparte y añadida al resto del cuerpo. En el caso de la golondrina y el perro, es igual, el imperdible va bajo la cabeza, y en el caso de la mujer, bajo la pierna.
