Fabric shopping

Don't you just love fabric shopping?
I ordered these wonderful pieces at Etsy (the shop no longer exists).


Now it's up to me to make something equally gorgeous out of them!




Update: Three zippered pouches

Dancing the night away

I've already written about the vector drawings I did for a 'client'. Now I had to do some more:


One day, I'll be one of the dancers. Again.

A zippered boxed pouch

Let's just say I desperately needed some distractions from my life. So I dug up some old fabrics that remained from last years Christmas cards and decided to make a new toiletry bag - that I will need in the following weeks :-)

I found and followed this very illustrative tutorial.

I did use a stiffer interfacing (I used Vlieseline H 250) but otherwise I pretty much followed the instructions.


When I realised that photographing everything I make would at least double the time needed to make the pouch... I stopped doing it.


So here's the final product:



I love it. So much that I decided to make a few more. I already ordered the fabric :-)

No, I will not give you any details yet, just a photograph I took while printing other photographs.



Can you guess the motive?
