Visitando Margarita Textil [Esp/Eng]

Hola, ¿qué tal, gente, cómo están? Yo por acá todo muy bien, feliz inicio de semana, un poco ocupada, pero sacando un tiempito para compartir un poco con ustedes.

Saben que en estos días yo misma me decía: “Ajá, me compré todo ese montón de patrones y no había hecho nada con ellos porque no tenía la tela para ponerme manos a la obra. Entonces me dije: “Abre una tienda de telas con cashea donde me pueda volver loca y comencé mi búsqueda.

Hello, how are you all doing? Everything is going very well here. I am having a happy start to the week, a little busy, but taking some time to share a little with you.

You know, I was saying to myself the other day, 'Right, I bought all these patterns and haven't done anything with them because I didn't have the fabric to get started. So I said to myself, 'Open a fabric shop with cash where I can go crazy,' and I began my search.

Lo que yo no sabía es que la tenía muy cerca; resulta que Margarita Textil, sí, la pequeña tienda al lado del castillo, tiene cashea y, si yo no sabía nada, quedé como que de sorpresa, así que yo dije: “Tengo que ir”. Claramente, como no puedo los días en los que trabajo porque salgo muy tarde, decidí ir el sábado luego de ver una clase virtual.

Al llegar la verdad es que bastante organizado llegas y de una vez te atiende una asesora, cosa que sabemos que no pasa en el castillo que es lo más dificil del mundo que te atienda alguien asi que por alli ya yo iba ganadora, al ver las telas es basicamente lo mismo que ven en el castillo solo que un pelito mas caro quizas por el cashea pero en general esos son los precios no es que con cashea es uno y normal es otro como hacen en algunos lugares más sin embargo la diferencia son que si menos de 1$ y para pagarlo en 3 partes dime quien no quiere.

What I didn't know was that it was very close by; it turns out that Margarita Textil, yes, the little shop next to the castle, has cashea, and since I didn't know anything about it, I was surprised, so I said, "I have to go." Obviously, since I can't go on the days I work because I finish very late, I decided to go on Saturday after watching a virtual class.

When you arrive, it's actually quite organised and you're immediately attended to by an advisor, which we know doesn't happen at the castle, where it's the hardest thing in the world to get someone to attend to you, so I was already winning there. When you see the fabrics, they're basically the same as what you see at the castle, only a little more expensive, perhaps because of the cash payment, but in general, those are the prices. It's not that with cash it's one price and with normal payment it's another, as they do in some places, but the difference is less than £1, and you can pay in three instalments. Tell me who wouldn't want that.

Yo llevaba todo anotadito, lo justo que iba a comprar, pero resulta que, como ahora tengo fiebre de coser, uno se pasa y agarra cositas de más, jajajajaja. Pero yo tenía que aprovechar mi momento; ese era el punto importante de todo esto. El castillo vende un poquito más económico, pero créanme que con las colas que hay que hacer, a uno se le quitan las ganas de entrar, y tantos procesos de pedir, luego cancelar y después buscar la tela, cosa que aquí no, tú buscas tu tela, te la cortan y la pagas y listo.

La experiencia me gustó mucho más que la del castillo; la chica superatenta y todos muy amables. Ya ando ansiosa de mostrarle cositas que haré con mis nuevas telitas. Yo salí, créanme, demasiado feliz y volví feliz con mi montón de tela. ¡Saludos!

I had everything written down, just what I was going to buy, but it turns out that, since I'm now obsessed with sewing, you get carried away and grab extra things, hahahaha. But I had to seize the moment; that was the important thing about all this. The castle sells a little cheaper, but believe me, with the queues you have to wait in, you don't feel like going in, and there are so many steps involved in ordering, then cancelling, then looking for the fabric, which isn't the case here. Here, you look for your fabric, they cut it for you, you pay for it, and that's it.

I liked the experience much more than the one at the castle; the girl was super attentive and everyone was very friendly. I'm already eager to show you the things I'll make with my new fabrics. I left, believe me, extremely happy and came back happy with my pile of fabric. Cheers!
