I seem to have lost confidence in some of my patchwork projects that I started earlier this month, including this, this and this. Yeesh!
So I decided to whip up a few In Color Order lined drawstring bags. Well, I really just wanted one in order to store my tupperware for lunch -- that's the one on the right, of course. But when I finished, I decided that I needed more (even though I can't really think of an immediate use for them) -- I'm just hooked on their simple shape and how easy it is to pick three or four fabrics that go well together. Very, very gratifying...I just have to restrain myself from cutting all my other fabrics for these cute bags!
BTW, for the bag on the left, I already used this exact fabric combo when I made my Noodlehead cargo duffle. I am totally in love with it, though. And since I use the duffle every day, I thought was familiar with the print. But when I pulled the remainder out to cut for the drawstring, I saw parts of the map that I hadn't seen before, and I just fell in love with the print even more. I think this might be my favourite print of all time<3 The repeat is so large, and there are so many details that you'll just constantly find something new. Yesterday, I spotted that designer Marie Jacobi drew herself into the map too, including an arrow labelled "hier findest du mich" (here you'll find me, right?). In fact, I'm gonna take a picture of it!
How's this for someplace to store those "not so chic" shabby things in your pretty shabby chic room??
I had to take a little break from making those embroidered valentines and whipped up this pretty bag!
Here is my yougest daughter's first bag, using one of my favorite fabrics by Heather Ross.
I made long handles so that I can use it too ;-)
Inspired by Red Pepper Quilts for the block, and Pink Penguin for the shape of the bag. Isn't Flickr great for inspiration?
New plushie in the shop - Iphigenia bunny with her toy. She's a younger sister of Zuleikha.
Turquoise dress is knitted, with a brown ribbon for decoration. Safety eyes give her glance some sparkling intelligence. In ears - Japanese fabric with ducklings (superbuzzy. Little bunny - toy is made of pre-loved (and pre-washed) material, red gingham.
One of our favorite people is turning 7 years old today. His parents are giving him a tent, so we thought we would put together some critical eating supplies for camping. You know like beef jerky.
Happy Birthday, J!
What a fun bag to make! Made some scrappy pineapple blocks for both sides and crossing my fingers that my #swapaholicsretreat partner will be pleased. 😅💚 #blingbitsswap #drawstringbag
First I intended to make this drawstring bag as a Christmas present, but then I didn't want to give it away. I used so many scraps - like the print with the road map of Paris, the French pâtisserie print or the owl - that are very special to me. I'm not sure that somebody who doesn't quilt would appreciate them. So I'm shamelessly making a Christmas gift for myself. ; )
