New Bags

March 17, 2015 5 Comments

These are some bad pictures but the bags look really beautiful. I used the pattern of this bag, I just modified the size of some pieces. This faux leather is the perfect fabric- soft and flexible - for this pattern. What I love most at this bag is the simplicity of the top edge. A quilting weight fabric doubled with a medium interfacing is not soft and flexible anymore (some fusible … [Read more...]

Faux Leather Shopping Bags

January 30, 2015 11 Comments

So here is the faux leather shopping bag. Because the wrong side of faux leather is really ugly, I thought to add lining. It is as easy to sew it with lining as it is without it. Do you like the assorted straps? It is a little bigger than the previous versions. Now see how hard working I am! I made these in 5 minutes! I would die to have that green in the top right corner! Happy … [Read more...]

Sewing With Faux Leather

September 24, 2014 1 Comment

I am sewing two new faux leather bags. While on Internet I read that you need a special foot to sew this material (a non-stick foot, teflon foot - there are different names for different brands), I stitch perfectly with my walking foot. On my Pfaff (Select), this foot is integrated, it's not a separate attachment. I use it to piece everything, not only for quilting. And I LOVE it!  This … [Read more...]

Still playing with faux leather

June 6, 2014 5 Comments

I hope my bags don't become too boring - I am not tired of making them. I still have colors or types of faux leather that I want to try. And because always there is someone's birthday - these are the easiest gifts to sew and the recipients love them. Always! Isn't fabulous this color ? And the pattern on faux leather really doesn't require a complicated pattern for the bag. I love to combine … [Read more...]

New Faux Leather Bags

May 13, 2014 10 Comments

One for me and one for my sister Nina. The colors are even more beautiful than the ones in these pictures. Nina wanted a zipper closure. It is not hard to sew it but I like magnetic snaps more. Zipper on the back -  it's unbelievable how quickly the zipper stock is over! And this is mine - these became now my favorite tones of green. I still have some new colors to combine. … [Read more...]

Faux Leather Tote Bag

April 5, 2014 10 Comments

Does this happen to you too ? Sometimes Blogger changes a little the colors of some of my photos, after I upload them into a blog post. At least, it is what I see on my monitor. These colors are really beautiful: indigo blue and taupe. Perfect combination for my sister Oana: she loves blue and sober colors. I made a lot of bags for my sisters but they carry them all the time and I think they … [Read more...]

Faux Leather Bag

April 3, 2014 8 Comments

A new bag - the first item sewed in the last two weeks. It's great to feel again the desire to sew! And look at this texture!  Achieved with no effort. It's just fabric-  a soft faux leather  with a partially cut away pattern. The fabric stretches and I had to be creative with the straps. The lining is a stiff and heavyweight canvas. I love more and more this pattern. It's the same … [Read more...]

Faux Leather Bag in Argyle pattern

February 24, 2014 16 Comments

I and my sister Nina make a lot of plans. She will retire in about 4 years and we dream to grow my little business and work together! For now she took three weeks off from her job and we thought we will stitch a lot! The first week my nephew Alex was sick -  we stitched nothing! The second week Alex went to his home but he left the cold - we stitched almost nothing! This is the third week … [Read more...]

Large Tote Bag

January 31, 2014 13 Comments

More than 3 years ago I made a large tote bag for a new mom in our family - my youngest sister Nico. My little nephew Alex visits with us very often and I am already sick of that bag! I had to make a new one-  bigger! The back is different. I love the 2 color straps. The black straps is just a little wider than the white one. Happy sewing! … [Read more...]
