matching fruit

As said it's been quiet on my blog but not quiet in my little studio. I made these matching bags from one large fruity embroidery. a little zipper bag to use in the larger bag.

sinterklaas

yes, he is a pretty good sewer, sinterklaas, who would have guessed he could make jilles a bag for his judo outfit. It's a pattern i saw at vlijtig, very nice, very simple...

new little ones

I've been quite busy with jilles his birthday, which was really fun! in between I also found time to make new bags for my shop. I discovered that I can't force the making of them but the embroideries become a bag or cushion or whatever by themselves, I only have to make them.

so these little ones (and big ones of course) just came into existance..

for rosalia

my niece turned four last week, so a big party and of course she needed a schoolbag. I made her this one! happy birthday little lady.

bag for Noor

my niece turned 9 last week and I finally made her a bag. I promised it a long time ago...and yes she liked it a lot. happy birthday Noor!

time

after two weeks of holiday I finally had some time to make more embroidery products. love to make the combinations...see my shop for more new things...

almost 3

preparing for his birthdayparty. we made a goodiebag (one you can recycle), I ordered cotton bags at lobbes and decorated them with stamps. Stije wanted a rocket and a moon on it. I figured it would be nice to match the little toy inside with the rocket theme. Stije totally disagreed and chose the bird whistler. hope his new age also changes his stubbornness ;-))...but in the end we both were happy with the result.

flamengo for the weekend

someone saw the flamengo bag on my website and asked if I perhaps could make something like it, but with the size of an overnight bag. luckily I had another piece of embroidery with a flamengodancer, which was also much bigger. I love it when things just come together. Hope she likes her new bag.

coaster to lunchbag

Because I only had one of these (oil cloth) coasters. I decided to give it a make over...it became a lunchbag!

cowboy treasure bag

Because the boys are going away for a few days to opa and oma I made Stije a bag to take his most precious possessions, favorite cuddly toy, little light etc. etc. Jilles already had an "in space" bag. Now Stije is the proud owner of his own cowboy bag..

Now Roel and I have loads of time to clear out the house. It clears up my mind as well..... For weeks I lived not only with my boys in one house but also with construction workers, loved what they did to our house but also love it now they are gone...

baptism

last sunday we had a baptism of a little girl. I made her two baskets with a little gift in it.

flowers

made this one for a birthdaygirl...

leave print

I printed this fabric a long time ago and didn't found a destination for it yet. yesterday the weather inspired me to make this beach bag. I think I will have to add a button, can test it today, because the weather is going to be great. beach here we come...

In space

Tried to make a larger basket, but it turned out to big. Think I have to decrease it a little. I used the silver fabric but it is difficult to sew.

handyman

My husband loves his moleskine notebook, you can keep little papers in it, but there is no room for a pencil. I saw this idea at whip up a long time ago. I loved it, so simple. I made my own version for Roel.

proud

Mostly I am proud of one of my 3 boys, but now I am a little bit proud of myself. I made a clutch out of one of the embroidery's my parents brought from France. It was a lot of work, but I am sattisfied with the result. I didn't use a pattern for it, it's my own design. I'm showing it of at a wedding next week.

little girl

Florien is born, she is the daughter of a friend. Her eldest son is born on the same day as my youngest, even almost at the same time, so amazing! I made Florien a bag with her name, so she can put in al her girly stuff.

little bag for brushes

For my sisters birthday I made a folding bag for make up brushes (and mascara, lipgloss etc). I made one myself a year ago and since I am always using it for travelling I thought this should be a good gift for my sister. I hope she likes it. After finishing it I was thinking that I should have made the ribbons out of the lining fabric, next time better.

big brown bag

This weekend we visited good friends in Langweer who came over from the states. With easter, they visited holland as well and we had easter breakfast together, I made eggcovers for the children, so I decided it was time to make something for the mom. This big brown bag is the result, handy for extra luggage.

coat for the ipod

we didn't have a protective cover for our ipod, so I decided to make one myself. Although it is nice, I think I am going to make a new one which has also space for the chains and ear plugs. But I first will have to figure out how that looks like.
