Aquí te comparto el primer tutorial de la colección curada ADRIANA CRISTINA ✂️ X ALONSO SOBRINO. Una colección donde selecciono telas que están en tendencia y las traemos a Puerto Rico. 🇵🇷 Ya puedes acceder el tutorial del TOTE BAG en el Youtube de Alonso Sobrino. Y sí, este es el mismo tutorial de los talleres de tote bags que di en el verano. 😎 Ya puedes recrearlo y ahora desde casa. 🙌🏼 El link está en mi biografía o busca “Alonso Sobrino” en Youtube y lo vas a ver. “Oye, y cuando van a traer más telas? Se acabaron muy rápido…” ¡Muy muy pronto! Te recomiendo que lo compres ONLINE y hagas pick up en Alonso para que no te quedes sin ellas. 😉 Happy sewing! P.S.
