I love playing with paper as much as I love playing with fabric. I love playing with colors. It was just a happy coincidence that I am a quilter now! I have a pretty selection of Christmas fabric but I was just too tired to use it! Instead, I bought colored paper and a few paper punches. I already had a few polystyrene shapes and because my 3 year old nephew Alex was here for many days, I … [Read more...]

Christmas Gift #1
I am in love with my new pouch with pocket. I made it for my sister Nina, to match her bag. There are a few details that I like very much:the top zipper... this type of corner (the lining looks the same, but it's too bulky inside, I have to change this next time )... And I love most that I did not have to add tabs to the zipper ends- I just hate this step! It's a super quick … [Read more...]

Mini tote bags – finally finished
It's hard to make 10 bags, even if they are minis! Even if you think you sew quickly! Even if the fabrics are different and beautiful! All my appreciation for those who make a living from this type of business. I could not do it day after day. All the bags are quilted - they are soft but still have body. Just perfect for little girls. I used my Chantal pattern. I am big fan of Ann Kelle … [Read more...]
