my creative space: lining and pouches

It's been a very busy week... here are just a few of the things I've been up to!

I lined my new bag with this gorgeous Japanese little fruits fabric! It was quite a challenge as I had to make the lining pattern from scratch, fit it and then hand stitch the top of it to the bag, which was a bit fiddly! I am really happy with how it looks! I finally have a new bag to play with! YAY!!

I also made some little zip pouches using some of my own screen printed fabric from my fabric stash which has been waiting to be made into something special! I used my bold flowers print for my wonderful mother in-law, Norma for mothers day, which she loved!

And I made one for my lovely sister in-law Katie for her birthday, she really loved it too!! I used my first repeat screen print I ever made for this one. The screen print isn't perfect but that's what I love about it... the imperfection :)

I love this screen print so much that I just couldn't resist, I had to make myself one too! :)

I really enjoyed making these little pouches and I was really happy to use some of my screen printed fabrics for something special for these two lovely ladies :)

Hope you are having a great creative week!

  5. Now I want to make pouches! These are great. And hand sewing the lining in is definitely worth it I think--when I had to line a knit bag that's what I did too and I'm so glad I did!
