MY FIRST ORDER!!!!

I know I have already posted a version of this bag - but this new one is officially my first order (hence the deviation of my usual colour scheme:). I am so excited that someone actually wanted one of my bags, I was just having fun making them. THANK YOU so much to all of you for your support!

Bag no.2

So with the help of my new book and google I have made this reversible bag. I realised I needed a reversible bag because some days I need colour and other days I prefer plain - this way I get the best of both. Making it did cause a bit of a brain cramp though, but its worth the effort. You can't see it from the photos but the straps tie at the top. The printed cloth and ribbon that are on the bag are newly acquired - I was at dongdaemun market in Seoul again... That place gives me what my dad calls 'choice anxiety' - there is just so much to choose from and I want it all.
I'm starting to get interested in summer dresses so I'm hoping I will get the time to try one soon...

Some new inspiration

So I went to daegu and searched around in one of their massive bookstores called kyoto. Where I found this book - which was the last one on the shelf. So I had to convince the sales lady that she should give me the sample copy. I did get it for a small discount. Afterwards I realised that apart from inspiration this book is of little value. The diagrams are not very helpful.  BUT with the help of google I can figure most of the patterns out.

FINALLY a handbag!

I haven't had a handbag for four months now (I left mine in South Africa). So this is my first attempt at making a handbag. I bought the leather straps at dongdaemun market in Seoul.
Let me know what you think.

Coffee plunger cozy

I made this cozy about two weeks ago. I do realise that everything i make has the same fabric in it:) I'm trying not to waste fabric while I experiment. AND I'm semi-obsessed with these colours at the moment. Give me time, I'll move on soon...
AND if you give me more time i'll make a "how to.." for this cozy.

Yay purse!!

I'm so glad this worked! been wanting to make a purse since I bought the sewing machine. I bought the clasp at Dongdaemun in Seoul - luckily I only had 30min at the market otherwise I would have been bankrupt - it was any crafters dream!

slowly getting somewhere

I found some really nice fabric at the Daegu market on Sunday. So I was inspired to make something. I'm quite proud of my apron - and my husbands photographic skills:)
