Pouches, pouches - big & small

Made a couple of pouches tonight as well. Two big and one small. I really like the beige one with green flowers <3

Dardi!

Made a bag with some subtle cultural hints on it. I'm quite happy how it turned out.

Brown wallet

I had to make another wallet for myself as the first one started to get a bit dirty. I should have made the critical parts from a darker fabric! This one should look good longer as the outside and tab are brown.

Tutorial.

Comeback

I'm back from holidays and the sewing machine has been lifted on to the dining table again! These are the first two pouches after the break. I had had my eye on the purple & orange fabric for some time and when I found the matching lining fabric on special as well I had to buy :)

I made two sizes; the smaller with a 15cm zip and the bigger with a18cm one. These both have either interfacing  or fleece in them to give some more structure. I also added a handle loop on the bigger one so it's basically a tiny hand bag.

Blue & white dress

I whipped up this blue & white summer dress last night. It's made of stretchy fabric which works much better with this pattern than the thicker cotton that I used in the first dress.

Neutral bag

I made another one of these modified Buttercup Bags. This time of neutral cream fabric and a cute lavender lining. The decorative tulle is remnants from my wedding dress after trimming the length.

Branding



I seem to forget to attach the StrawbsDesign labels to my products. I'm just creating more work for myself as hand sewing the labels is so much slower! However now these luggage tags have been branded. And it's bedtime for me...

Luggage tags

A few more luggage tags tonight. I tested how it would look made with two different fabrics. It turned out pretty well. I can't resist that pretty brown fabric with white flower-thingies on it!

Boxy pouch





I decided to sew something quick tonight after our home loan consultant had left and I had cooked us a beautiful dinner ;) This boxy pouch will come handy in the upcoming travels. I quite like the fabrics as well!

A new wallet






Last project for this weekend. I'm really happy with this wallet. It's got 6 slots for cards, 2 long pockets for money, receipts and papers and a zipper pocket for coins.
