The new year is already 5 days old again, but I can say that I have already been busy following my main resolution, which is trying to sew more.
I have several orders that I am working on at the moment, which is great, hopefully the year ahead will stay busy in terms of that, but I also became part of a few challenges, the first one being the '
Monthly Book Challenge' by Ange from
Heart of Charnwood.
I picked one of the many books for making bags that I have and since I got an order for one to make from one of those books, I thought it would be perfect to be entered into the challenge.
It's only a small little bag to be used for make-up and toiletries for example, but I used my currently favourite fabric line on it, Noteworthy by Sweetwater for Moda. I love this line, it's so cute!
Also I was asked to do something in lime green, granted it's not all over lime green, but I hope this will please the buyer. Oh and I used some fabric for the lining that I just received from a friend in the USA, she sent me about 25 yards of low volume fabric, white on white and white on neutrals, which are so hard to come by over here. I had to use one for the inside of this little bag.
More projects that I am currently working on are a quilt for myself (that I actually started over 2 years ago and am now close to finishing), another bag and then I really need to stock up my Dawanda shop.
So expect more posts soon!
Until next time,

Yay for the new orders! Love the look of the bag - and of the key tags that have finally made it in the photo stream after people like me had got their Xmas surprises. ;-)
ReplyDeleteOh, and can't wait to see that 'mysterious' quilt for yourself!
thanks Devi, you may remember the one that I started over 2 years ago, in fall colours with a brown border? I got backing fabric for it and decided to make 2 tops, so 2 quilts, one for me and one for mum :)
