It was the time to sew new bags for my sisters! I made this bag for Nina 7 years ago, and she still wears it (what a bad sister she has!). The fabric is extremely faded, the straps have all the stitching broken, but she still wears it, because she loves those two deep pockets on the front, which are so easily accessible! She doesn't care about the zippered pocket that all my bags have on the … [Read more...]
Faux leather pouches
Do you know what fabric is this? It's a laser cut faux leather, a very fine and stretch material, used in the garment industry. I knew that it's not strong enough for using in bags, but I thought that it's lovely to see the cut away motifs highlighted by the bright color of the fabric used underneath, so I bought it. Three years later, I thought it's time to make a pouch or two! So … [Read more...]
Easy zipper pouch pattern
I love sewing pouches, I think we never have too many! My family and friends always appreciate them, so I continue to sew pouches for gifts! How about a pouch that can be sewn in less than 20 minutes? This is the most important feature of my new pouches. Cool way to stitch the lining- it adds a nice finishing touch to the zipper and also makes the construction of the pouch quick and … [Read more...]
Pretty Zippered Pouches
I admit: on Friday evening at 8PM, after an exhausting day, the thought that I still have to sew two pouches was overwhelming! But once I started, the whole process was fun, quick and easy. The hardest thing that took me forever was to choose the fabric! I made these pouches for the kids of my future neighbors (hint, hint: we hope to move in our new house by the end of summer!). For a … [Read more...]
Triple Pouch – opinions, please!
I love sewing pouches. I made many Little Wonders, Twice as Nice or sweet lace pouches. And now without too much thinking, I made a triple pouch. A very functional pouch, very spacious, all those three compartments have boxed bottom. But I have a problem with it: it looks like a big, UGLY box! My hubby thinks it is because of the solid fabric - faux suede. Maybe... Maybe I could make it … [Read more...]
New Tote Bag and Shopping Bag Patterns
The new bag patterns are finally available! Here is my latest bag.The pretty fabric is Up Parasol by Heather Bailey. The pattern is so versatile and the large front panel is great for showing off beautiful fabrics or patterns. I made these bags for my sisters and they don't want to change them with any other bag they have. I tested it myself, one bag is mine. I understand why they … [Read more...]
New Tote Bag
At first, I thought it is boring to sew again this older pattern of mine- Danielle bag. I don't even remember how many Danielle bags I sewed in the last years! Now that it is finished, it is a lovely reminder of how beautiful and interesting this pattern is. What could be better for a bag (and us!) than a front pocket with easy access? All the fabric used is heavyweight cotton from Ikea. … [Read more...]
