Joelheiras Redondas :: Round Knee Pads
Rodrigo crawled until quite late and, consequently, his shoes and trousers show it. I can’t do much about the shoes but as far as trousers go, there’s a very simple solution: knee pads. I thought it would be fun to sew some round knee pads instead of the traditional oval ones. Again, the process is very simple and quick (the fact that the trousers have snaps on the legs helped a lot, I must say) — here’s how I’ve done it:
1. Using a compass (mine is still the same one from my school days), trace a circle that fits the width of the trousers’ legs onto a piece of paper. Cut it and use it as a template to cut your fabric knee pads.
2. Cortar dois círculos de entretela termocolante para appliqué.

6. Já está! Há obviamente outras maneiras de aplicar joelheiras, mas isto foi o que fiz e resultou. Espero que durem uns meses!
6. That’s it! There’s obviously other ways to construct and sew knee pads but this is what I’ve done and it has worked fine. I hope they’ll last for a few months!
