Well, sort of ! So, in the middle of the hexagon madness, I had the fabulous idea to make something for me and my 3 sisters, to remember us the good times when we stitched hexagons together. Inspired by my latest tote bags, I thought to make a bag for each of us. With hexagons, of course, and with dot fabric, because all of us love dots. I followed my idea, I made hexy flowers in polka dot … [Read more...]
Mini Frame Purse
This is my first frame purse. Inspired by the wonderful frame purses I see everyday on Internet, I had to try to make one myself. I made a very simple pattern, to see how it works. It's easy! I attached the purse to the frame with hand stitches, I suppose it is easier than to work with glue. I am unhappy that my stitches are visible on the inside part. I can't figure out how to make … [Read more...]
New Summer Tote Bags
At first, I made this one. The fabric is "Farmdale" from Alexander Henry. Then I made this one. The same beautiful apples, just smaller... the bag is also smaller, for a mother-daughter team. I also had in my stash these big apples, it's "Apple of My Eye" by Quilted Fish for Riley Blake. Big apples- big tote! I added two zippered pockets (one inside and one outside), to keep safe … [Read more...]
New Tote Bags
These tote bags kept me busy this week. The fabric is a heavyweight cotton from Ikea. This one is really large, great for shopping or a walk to the beach. For this one I change a little the pattern. It is smaller and with rounded corners. Isn't the stripped fabric versatile ? This pattern requires two fabrics. I did not have another fabric to match with the green strips, so I … [Read more...]
Lovely!
Isn't this pouch wonderful ? My friend Teodora made it for me a few months ago. She knows very well what I like: green color and kitties. Fabulous assorted ! I carry it in my tote bag but it is too sweet to be hiden there, I have to find another use for it! The kitty panel is a paper napkin. The pouch is washable, YES! The technique is called "decoupage" and Teodora has a tutorial … [Read more...]
Lunch Bag
I made a lunch bag for my hubby.I don't have too many fabrics in my stash suitable for man projects and I am glad I found this navy velveteen. I made for the first time this type of cover and it turned out great. He wanted something that folded could fit in his pocket, let's see if this could change his mind:). Too bad I don't have at hand some oilcloth - I could make … [Read more...]
An old project
Here are my latest bags. I started making them in February. I wanted to make a pattern for an easy and quick tote. With other pressing projects, I abandoned this idea. Here is the first version - it doesn't show in the picture but the two straps weren't the easiest things I have ever sewn. So I changed this and the second version was made with just one strap. I loved it but I found … [Read more...]
Quilted Basket
Here is what I made with the 3D pinwheels. It's the basket for the swap. I hope my partner (her niece, actually) will like it! There are not two baskets, just two different sides. I made a nice boxed bottom just with the help of the iron. In this way I iron all the bags with boxed bottom. If you bought my bag patterns, maybe you will want to try this on your bags. At … [Read more...]
Sweet Little Purses
Here they are ! My collection of 20 little purses made with my Amelie and Belle patterns.All made in the fabulous "Quite Contrary" fabrics from Riley Blake Designs. I bought a fat quarter bundle and I had to use it all ! I did not make all of these alone, my sister Nina helped me a lot. Could anyone resist working on these beauties? I spent the most enjoyable time mixing different … [Read more...]
Pretty Little Purses
Here is my latest project - a few mini-Amelie purses for the little girls of my friends. I thought it will take me much more time to finish them because all are quilted but I managed to sew four in a day. The small size (about 7''x9'') helped me a lot! Which one I love most ? I love, love these fabrics... but this one below is my favorite! I had just a small piece of pink fabric … [Read more...]
