A huge quilt requires a huge bag! This weekend my Romanian quilting friends have a meeting with our friendship quilt. They hand stitched parts of the quilt top and I think they are anxious to see it finished. A picture is just a picture, seeing the quilt in person is another story! This is a large scale print from Sun Kissed collection by Michele D'Amore for Benartex.The stripe fabric is … [Read more...]
2 in 1 Zippered Pouches
I made the 7th pouch; I think I fixed all the imperfections of the previous ones so I wrote a pattern for it. It's in the testing stage. The zippered pouch inside is completely stitched into the lining seam, so that it divides the inside space into three separate compartments. I stitched so many and now I am best friend with zippers. Because I have this fabric collection … [Read more...]
The one with cherries!
I think this is the sixth (since the first trial). I fused interfacing on this one (Vilene S320). It is not soft and puffy but it keeps its shape. And I have a new passion now: for zippers! Now I think I would eat some cherries! Geta … [Read more...]
Zippered pouch
I am still perfecting the pattern for the zippered pouch with zippered pocket divider. Every time I stitch one, I find something that needs improvement. I love the wide bottom and the fusible fleece fused onto fabric gives the perfect body. Now I have to stitch some cherries - from the same collection - Sakura Park by Sentimental Studios for Moda. Geta Edited to add: If you want … [Read more...]
Addicted to Rainbow
I could add: "to bags", "to pretty little things", "to polka dots". The initial idea was to stitch 3 miniature bags, then I remembered that I have a thing for rainbow, then I thought that 7 minis look better than 3 minis. So, why not ? This is my Danielle bag pattern. I printed the templates of the mini Danielle bag at a reduced scale - in 7 different sizes. So here there … [Read more...]
Simply irresistible!
I LOVE big and colorful dots (Disco Dots by Michael Miller). Years ago I made this quilt; I was in love with a watercolor flower print. It looks even better on a bag! It's an old print, by Henry Glass - Midnight Rendezvous!- how appropriate is the name !! And here are a few pictures for you to see the difference between different type of interfacing. For years I used Peltex … [Read more...]
Season of bags
It's summer and here there is a high demand for bags: for my sisters, sisters' friends, my friends, some little girls. Today 's request was for a red bag; geometric print; it's all I could find in my stash! The print is Fly a Kite by October Afternoon for Riley Blake Designs; and the red is Mixmasters from Robert Kaufman. I had a lot of prints from this extended collection, designed by … [Read more...]
New bags- new things to learn
So I made new bags for my youngest sister Nico. I still have fabric from Jenean Morrison collection In My Room;the green fabric is Kona cotton. I wanted to add so many things on this small bag, but fortunately I understood that I can't do them all in just a few hours and finally I kept it simple. So simple that I neglected too much the top edge; in the end, I had to add a … [Read more...]
Tote bag for the beaches of Florida
No, none of us is going to Florida! I made this for a dear friend of mine who lives in Florida, near the beach. As I live at the foot of the mountain and I see the sea and the beach once in a few years - this meaning VACATION - I can say I envy her; a little; maybe a little more! I still have beautiful fabrics and I still enjoy Danielle pattern! This is the largest version of the … [Read more...]
Tote bag for the beaches of Greece
This tote bag will travel to Greece, with my youngest sister, Nico. I used the largest version of my Danielle pattern, but I reduced the pattern to 90%; Nico did not want a too large bag. Fabric used is from the Wrenly collection by Valori Wells I made it with the heavyweight Decovil interfacing and I LOVE it. When I will have more time I will try to compare the bag made … [Read more...]
