It seems everybody loves stitching hexagons, so here is a hexagon bowl tutorial. You need some fabric scraps and interfacing scraps. The best interfacing is the one fusible on both sides. You can use interfacing fusible on one side or even batting. In this case, stitch/quilt the pieces to keep the layers together. It is easier to prepare a large fabric/interfacing piece, then to cut out … [Read more...]
Mini hexagon flowers
I am planning new gifts for me and my sisters who helped me to sew the hexagon quilt. I hope a more inspired one than the latest try! I like what I have made until now... Who wouldn't like it? 1/2'' hexagons. But how about this ? 1/4'' hexagons. I had to try to work with this size and it is not as complicated as I thought! I like this flower too, it should fit to a 2 year old baby. I … [Read more...]
Playing with Hexagons
If I don't make quilts, I make bags. If I don't make bags, I make boxes - my friend Teodora is right. So here is my latest play session with hexagons. The fabrics used are " Vintage Modern" by Bonnie and Camille for Moda I started with this simple, tall hexagonal box. Then I made a lid for it - I like to keep things out of dust. Simple to make - just 7 … [Read more...]
Quilted Bag
It seems the latest bag is always the most beautiful! And no, it is not mine, I made it for my sister Oana - you know, the one who pointed me to quilting! She deserves it! I am in love with this print - "Fly a Kite" by October Afternoon for Riley Blake Designs. Two days I searched on Internet to buy more and finally I found 2 yards in a shop. So if you want some too, I tell you it is hard to … [Read more...]
Drawstring bags
For my sweet little nephew Alex. He turns 2 on Saturday. The dot fabric is cotton twill. It is a wonderful fabric, its weight is something between quilt fabric and decorator fabric weight. That fabric is by MoMo and I think Moda prints some of their designs on twill. As lining I used other pretty fabrics from my stash. For this one I had two coordinated prints. I … [Read more...]
WIP Wednesday
It could look like this: or like this, but there is even more - I am still working on it. I found in a hobby shop near me some beads - fimo, polymer clay, I am not sure, but they are so nicely painted. I am glad to support Romanian shops and artisans! I am more obsessed than ever with apples and I found some nice buttons. I found even an apple tape! I’m linking up with … [Read more...]
Just one more step…
My sister Nina was here yesterday, so we had to do some work! I laid the top on the floor so she can see it. This cat thinks it looks great ... ... while this one is sleeping on this quilt - her favorite place! We removed the paper templates. 4 hands filled this bag in about 2 hours. I thought this is a boring and time consuming task but it really wasn't. I love this … [Read more...]
New Bag
I started with summer bags, now I am making fall bags. For me I think I will make a winter bag. Or maybe a spring bag! This one is for my sister Nina.

Have a great and productive sewing week, Geta Edited: The pattern for this … [Read more...]

Spoonflower
Do you remember the images I purchased two weeks ago, from Deposit Photos? I turned them into fabric! I printed them on fabric using Spoonflower. The printed colors are not as vibrant as the ones in the original photos ( they can't look on fabric as they look on the computer screen), but I am very happy with how the fabric looks. These are 1-yard pieces. From this I will make bags … [Read more...]
