Something new and something old

Leave a comment
Once this one is out, my colleague grabbed it and proudly brought to her meeting saying that it will be the trend in the office, ha! So happy to hear that.
See that little ribbon with apple figure sticking out? That is from Kaison, it is just so cute that I had to use it in my bag, just for fun. This materials is actually design from Elyza’s protected by Texgard (whatever that is) and stain repellent. I hope it serves what it has claimed. And yes I bought it from a curtain shop. I love shopping in curtain shop now since they have better materials and most imported.

As for this embroider bag, I did it using embroidery thread, fine ribbon and some beads. First time ever to make this. Am planning to make small bags with simple embroidery.
What do you think?
Happy weekend! And for those who are celebrating, Happy Halloween!

Bags, bags and more bags

9 Comments

First I am crazy about scrapbooking, then a bit of card making and now I’m crazy over making bags! All sort and any sort, but of course only those pattern that I love.
I wanted to refine my skill in sewing using machine, by hands and now even am thinking of doing embroidery with my bare hands.

Here are two that I’ve made today:

Yup, just got those materials on Friday and hardly can wait to use them actually. What more there are new books on bag making that came in! So I get to try out new pattern and new ways in sewing up bags. Great!
Here are those that I’ve made before this:

I’ve even made a pouch for my camera, ha! One that I should have made first thing.

I wanted to make more new patterns but for now there are 2 more bags that waiting in line for me to finish up upon request. I’m waiting for my magnetic snap from an Etsy shop, hoping to see them first thing on Monday if they do come through the mail then.

Enjoy the rest of your weekend.

Goodbye baby

2 Comments
I had to say goodbye to this baby after my colleague agree to adopt it from me. I’ve spent more time than the first bag for this one, as this pattern is harder to sew. What more initially I’ve used a harder under-layer.
I love this fabric and was intended to get more of it, but there is no more offer on this one. So I’ve ordered another pattern which surely will produce another baby later.

 The best part of this baby is its zipper which make it more secure to bring around.

 What more it has a zipper interior compartment and some slot for handphone and smaller items.

 It also comes with two side pockets.

The hardest part in making this make is sewing the second line around the top. I’ve actually hand sew it ‘cos it is just too thick to get into my sewing machine. I wanted to make another one in this pattern.

My zipper bag

Yup, have done it and well.. it is not exactly like originally intended but at least this one is usable. The zip that I bought somehow is too thick to sew through and it is not exactly in the size that is intended for the zipper bag in Anna’s blog.

Have bought more fabric from the curtain shop and am intended to make apron for mom’s house as the one they are using is really … *sigh*… dirty! A good reason for me to sew anyway. And I’m also intended to make another kind of zipper bag that I read in a book. This will be my weekend craft *wink*.
