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...]
New tote bag
I wore this bag in the last few months and I love it - very comfortable, in spite of the fact I am not mad about its shape. I wanted to try a new interfacing and I made a new bag - almost the same shape but stitched in a different way. The interfacing is Decovil light- manufactured in Germany by Freudenberg. This fusible interfacing gives the fabric the look and feel of a very fine … [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...]

“Danielle” Bag
Amelie, Belle, Chantal - now it's Danielle (thank you to my Danielle reader who suggested this name )! And definitely will be a bag name starting with "E" this year. I made this "Danielle" for my friend Sanda. My sister Oana did not have any complaint about her "Danielle" , so that I did not make any change to the pattern. The fabrics are from Jenean Morrison "In My Room" collection, … [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...]
Shopping Bag
I have a clear idea in my mind - there are summer bags and winter bags. We have a lot of snow here and my sister Oana still wears her summer bag! So I thought to make her a winter bag - with canvas fabric, batting and calm colors. But I wanted to make it "now". So I quickly drafted a pattern and made a first try. And well, it was a quick pattern to make but it looks like a shopping … [Read more...]
The last bag of 2012
Hello everyone, I have you all spent wonderful time with your family! Here is the Chantal tote bag I managed to sew before Christmas for a friend. It is made out of decorator fabric, quilted on polyester batting and a layer of duck cloth. It is so easy to make a quilted bag - no need to buy interfacing, wait until it arrives and then wondering if it is the right thing for your … [Read more...]
