I love beautiful prints on anything. And I am addicted to mugs and tins. These are a few things I came back with from Vienna. I will gladly go again there for a few more :) I found the perfect things to put in them! So why do you do when you want to try something new? Like Aurifil 12wt ? You would (should) buy a spool. Not me! First, I bought a color card - just to be sure that I will … [Read more...]
New tote bag and pouches
Hello everybody! How are you? I am glad to be home again. I loved Vienna and Robbie Williams but there is no place like home! I have many projects on the "to do" list but the most pressing was a gift for a friend. I have no idea if she likes red! I hope so! This is such a quick project- it took me four hours and more than one hour I pieced the squares. I forgot to sew a zippered pocket on the … [Read more...]

Pouches Galore
If you remember the sweet little quilted pieces from last week, here is what they became! The darling prints are from the "Petal" collection by Tanya Whelan - I have the entire collection and can't wait to use more of it in the future. I ran out of fusible fleece so I used batting and I quilted everything - such nice texture and nice feel. These two pouches are spacious, they have boxed … [Read more...]
Favorite Fabric
I just used the last piece of one of my all time favorite fabrics: the green print of the "Good Fortune" collection by Kate Spain. I made a "fat" pouch... and a slim pouch, in pink fabric. Because I love so much this collection, I was curious to see what else I stitched with this beautiful fabric. Here is: a large version of "Danielle" bag. Two frame purses! and … [Read more...]
Some gifts
I did not sew too many gifts in December. It's not that I did not want to. But a cold kept me in bed for days. I loved to sew these little pouches. It took me just a couple of hours. It is so easy to sew with faux leather - you don't need interfacing. Because one of them was for a little girl, for that one I used a print and fusible fleece. I don't have imagination when it comes to … [Read more...]
Kokeshi Dolls
I have an addiction for these cute little dolls! But I am still able to keep it in the limits of common sense :) Because how cool it is to buy all these from Romania ?? Ordering today and receiving the fabric tomorrow ? I know, most of you know the feeling! From Fabrix. "Hello Tokyo" by Lisa Tilse for Robert Kaufman The huge doll below measures 12'', it would look … [Read more...]
Christmas Gift #1
I am in love with my new pouch with pocket. I made it for my sister Nina, to match her bag. There are a few details that I like very much:the top zipper... this type of corner (the lining looks the same, but it's too bulky inside, I have to change this next time )... And I love most that I did not have to add tabs to the zipper ends- I just hate this step! It's a super quick … [Read more...]
Quilting faux leather
Over the years I quilted different fabrics: of course, most of them were quilt fabrics. But I quilted home decor fabrics as well, velvet, denim and textured fabrics. Now it was the turn of faux leather to be quilted. This one below is a very thin fabric; I don't think it is suitable for bags (maybe for a small pouch). I gave 1 meter to my niece for a skirt. Can't wait to see it. This … [Read more...]
Canadian Smocking
I tried this technique on a piece of faux leather - and I love it. I used pearl cotton thread to make the knots- it wasn't hard at all; I think I have a type of faux leather that is easy to work with. Now to turn it into an useful piece- it seems a little tricky. Have a great week, Geta … [Read more...]
