Today I made a zippered pouch. It looks like an ordinary pouch, but it is not. Because there is a zippered pocket inside. And it is more than a zippered pocket. It is a pocket divider. It is stitched into the bottom and side seams, dividing the lining space into 3 compartments. I want to put pocket dividers in my next bags, so I thought to try my hand first on a smaller … [Read more...]
Hexagon Cubes- a finished top
With the help of my sisters, I managed to finish this hexagon cube top. I enjoyed stitching the lovely colors; the fabric is from one of my all time favorite collections- Fusions 5573 by Robert Kaufman. Each cube consists of 61 hexagons; counting the surrounding hexagons too - the top has almost 500 hexagons- you wouldn't say ! A fun project! Excepting the applique step. I appliqued the … [Read more...]
New tote bag
I wore this bag in the last few months and I love it - very comfortable, in spite of the fact I am not mad about its shape. I wanted to try a new interfacing and I made a new bag - almost the same shape but stitched in a different way. The interfacing is Decovil light- manufactured in Germany by Freudenberg. This fusible interfacing gives the fabric the look and feel of a very fine … [Read more...]

Mini tote bags
We already have summer temperatures and I thought it's time to make some summer mini- bags - you don't know when a little girl needs a mini bag. And I made 7- using my Danielle pattern. Just for the pleasure of combining fabrics. I love even the straps! The fabric was quilted on a puffy polyester batting - the bag is soft, perfect for little girls. 2 fat quarters make the … [Read more...]

I rarely use my large scissors. Creative Grids rulers- non-slip rulers with fine … [Read more...]
