I don't have too many memories from my childhood, but I do remember some vinyl flex frame pouches. Usually used for keeping coins. I was in love when I saw this little pouch made by Leila and I had to make a few. Leila wrote even a tutorial, she pieced hexagons for her pouch - thank you for the inspiration! Here are mine - 3 sisters - 3 … [Read more...]
New Frame Purses
All these are 3'' frames, perfect for Madame Samm's pattern. Dots in the favorite colors of my sisters. And some lovely prints. This frame is very beautiful, I have to order more - fortunately, from Romania! Stay away from this type - there is nothing to hide the top stitching; the stitching on the inside looks more beautiful! The color of this frame is … [Read more...]
Chantal bag pattern
After the "Amelie" and "Belle" bags, I named my new bag "Chantal". I used the same pattern and I made a set - I like to see things in different sizes. The main fabric is "Good Fortune" by Kate Spain for Moda. I was happy that I found some coordinating fabrics in my stash. This one is really large - it could be a shopping bag, an overnight bag, a diaper bag, a beach bag... This is the … [Read more...]
UR Priceless Blog Hop
Today is my day in the UR Priceless Blog Hop! A big THANK YOU to Madame Samm and Katherine for putting this hop together. Here is the first frame purse I made, using Madame Samm's pattern- great instructions and the shape of the purse is adorable! GENIUS! I am in love! The size (3'' frame) and shape make you smile. Unfortunately, this was the only 3'' frame I had on hand. I would have … [Read more...]
Hexagonal Macaron Case
So I made a macaron - but it is hexagonal. And flat - like the one I suppose I will bake soon! If you remember the mini hexagon flowers I made a few weeks ago, this is what I want to make with them. Something for my sisters who helped me stitch the Grandmother's Flower Garden Quilt. The back. I made it with 2 zippers because I did not have a longer one - but I … [Read more...]
One more bag!
By now you must be bored of my bags! I still love to make this pattern, every bag is unique and has its own charm given by the beautiful fabrics. This one is a gift for one of my sister's friend. She did not know what is her favorite color and we were afraid to use bold prints and colors, so Nico chose from my stash this "Vintage Modern" print by Moda. I paired it with Mixmasters … [Read more...]
Sewing for a little girl
For a 9-year little girl. This is an improved version of this portfolio. The front. The back. Her mother told me that she loves blue, so I inserted some piping (just strips without cord) into the beautiful fabric - "Wrenly" by valori Wells. There are 2 big pockets - one with zipper (oops, it's black!), and the other secured with Velcro. Slots for pens and a little pocket for a … [Read more...]
Quilted Bag
It seems the latest bag is always the most beautiful! And no, it is not mine, I made it for my sister Oana - you know, the one who pointed me to quilting! She deserves it! I am in love with this print - "Fly a Kite" by October Afternoon for Riley Blake Designs. Two days I searched on Internet to buy more and finally I found 2 yards in a shop. So if you want some too, I tell you it is hard to … [Read more...]
Drawstring bags
For my sweet little nephew Alex. He turns 2 on Saturday. The dot fabric is cotton twill. It is a wonderful fabric, its weight is something between quilt fabric and decorator fabric weight. That fabric is by MoMo and I think Moda prints some of their designs on twill. As lining I used other pretty fabrics from my stash. For this one I had two coordinated prints. I … [Read more...]
New Bag
I started with summer bags, now I am making fall bags. For me I think I will make a winter bag. Or maybe a spring bag! This one is for my sister Nina. The floral fabric is "Wonderland" by MoMo for Moda. I was in love with that collection and now I would have loved to have one more print. Have a great and productive sewing week, Geta Edited: The pattern for this … [Read more...]
