We, women, like to have cases, envelopes, clutches, handbags, bags, containers for keeping things in.
Es como una fiebre, o una manía... It's like a fixation, an obsession...
Y también hacerlos. As is making them.
Si hay poco tiempo, lo efectivo es hacer una serie para:
1) darme el gusto de hacerlos (son pequeños, se pueden terminar rápidamente, lo que da una sensación de logro que nadie te puede quitar de encima...)
When there is little time, it is efficient to make a series of them to:
1) enjoy making them. they are small, quick to finish, which gives you a feeling of achievement that nobody can take away...)
2) tener siempre alguno preparado para dar (no hay que salir corriendo a comprar ni ponerse a hacer de prisa y corriendo)
2) always have some ready for giving (you don't need to run out to the shops to buy, or make them in a hurry)

3) explore the possibilities of variations on a single theme (what is jazz, then?), with or without a key fob, with or without a tag, bigger, smaller, with a gusset or pleat, with decorations, with different types of clasp...
