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...]

Follow Your Passion!
I started quilting almost 13 years ago and at the time I certainly didn’t think that someday I will turn my passion for quilting into a little business.
