Today I made a zippered pouch. It looks like an ordinary pouch, but it is not. Because there is a zippered pocket inside. And it is more than a zippered pocket. It is a pocket divider. It is stitched into the bottom and side seams, dividing the lining space into 3 compartments. I want to put pocket dividers in my next bags, so I thought to try my hand first on a smaller … [Read more...]
Mini tote bags
We already have summer temperatures and I thought it's time to make some summer mini- bags - you don't know when a little girl needs a mini bag. And I made 7- using my Danielle pattern. Just for the pleasure of combining fabrics. I love even the straps! The fabric was quilted on a puffy polyester batting - the bag is soft, perfect for little girls. 2 fat quarters make the … [Read more...]
New Tote Bag Pattern
Here are a few of my latest tote bags. All the fabrics used for these bags are from the Breeze collection by Rosemarie Lavin Design for Windham Fabrics. In love with the front pocket - there is nothing better than a deep, outside pocket. The bag is roomy and it has a zippered pocket on the back. Of course, I couldn't help myself and I modified the pattern and I also stitched a large … [Read more...]
New Purse
I made this to welcome spring, only that now it is snowing! The pretty Ann Kelle fabric was the perfect choice for this small bag. It is small ...see below. Do you like the fancy pocket on the lining ? I made it in 3 minutes! I cut it out from a shirt! So save those shirts! Even if it is only for the pockets! Because the bag is small, my initial thought was to fuse 2 layers of … [Read more...]

New Tote Bag
I managed to sew the winter tote bag for my sister Oana before the end of the winter! The quilt fabric is "quilted" on Timtex interfacing. For a tote bag, there is nothing better than an exterior pocket. The pocket is constructed the same way as the pockets of my other bags - only it's half of work (one pocket instead of two)! My sister will "test" it and soon I will write the … [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...]
“Nicole” bag
I am glad to show you my latest bags! I modified my bag patterns and I made two extra large totes. These are my gifts for the new moms in our family. This is the "Nicole" tote bag. I named it after the name of my youngest sister. My nephew will come into the world tomorrow so she needs this bag. You can see its size, it's really big. 17.5-22'' (top and bottom) wide x 14.5" tall x 5" … [Read more...]

Miniature bags (or…I lost my mind !)
I was serious when I said I would like a collection of miniature bags. Last evening at 8 PM, after a full day of quilting, I started to make other two miniatures. The smallest is 25% from my original Amelie bag. I love them but it wasn't piece of cake to make them....If I would have had a miniature sewing machine, a miniature iron, even miniature hands... I used ribbon for … [Read more...]
