sabiam alinhavar os pensamentos

French translation: elles savaient coudre toutes les anecdotes les unes aux autres

Portuguese term or phrase: sabiam alinhavar os pensamentos
Olá,

Contexto : narrador = menino narrando o dom de contar as historias quando estava na escola

As duas eram contadoras de histórias, as citações podiam começar a falar sobre a venda do seu Pedrinho, na esquina da escola, ou então do DNA dos avós paternos de uma vizinha de infância. Sabiam alinhavar os pensamentos, todos. Os meus olhos brilhavam. Na presença de uma delas... e eu montava no cavalo do mocinho, atirava com a arma do bandido, encastelava-me com a princesa

Intuo que é organizar as ideias "pour avoir un récit", então tem "mettre leur idées en ordre", "agencer leurs idées", alguma outra proposta ?

Muito obrigado,

French translation:elles savaient coudre toutes les anecdotes les unes aux autres
Explanation:
Melenn, je pense qu'il est interessant de conserver le terme "coudre" parce que les deux femmes assemblaient une histoire/anecdote à une autre comme les couvertures de patchwork que les américaines faisaient autrefois pour relater la vie de leurs communautés.
