SHAWL AND PILLOWS

Summer is almost over so as my "sewing for summer". It actually was my goal, to have all my summer clothes handmade. And what do you know... I achieved it, now I am just curious to see if I am going to wear all those outfits next summer. Anyway, need to take pictures and post them here.

And this is my last projects (the beginning of fall season ;) ).

JUST ONE WEEKEND. SEWING FOR FUN - 5

Yesterday, actually, the whole weekend was wonderful!Nothing in particular but I have just have such a wonderful feeling when I think about it. Saturday was just lazy. W played and I ran to Boulder and came back, at night we went to see "Snow White and a Huntsman". OK, I have to admit, the whole movie I was waiting when Julia Robertson appeared. Obviously, she did not... Just when we came home I realised that she played Qween in the movie ."Mirror, Mirror". Can you imagine that TWO movies based on the same tale would be released the same year?!

TEA TOWELS. SEWING FOR FUN - 4

So, few posts ago I showed new tea towels I made for my kitchen. Do you know what tea towels are suppose to be used for? This is correct! For clean dishes and for putting under the rolls/breads and such. The problem is, in my kitchen they would be used for hands hence will get very spotty very fast. And because I spent two days making them this was not the future I wanted for them. The answer is - hand towels. But does anybody want to spend anytime making something knowing it is going to the trash pretty soon? Not me! So, I came up with these hand towels, they are decorative, you can throw away but safe your labor.

CRAFTS FROM BURLAP. SEWING FOR FUN - 3

One of my favorite sewing material is a burlap. Thankfully I can get an almost unlimited amount of it in a place we roast our coffee. These are just few things I made.
This apron I made using my old one as a template and when I showed it to my baristas... well, I ended up making ten more of them (couple were half aprons).

SEWING FOR FUN-2

But I did not start with making clothes. I actually promised myself not to... All I wanted to do - some small things for home.

This is one of my first projects. I absolutely love yellow-blue-white palette from Alsace. So my kitchen is slowly taking on these colors.

 

TEA  TOWELS

You need very limited amount of fabrics but combine them different ways and possibilities are endless.

SEWING FOR FUN

I never thought i would be making clothes for myself... Probably, because the last time I was making them it was out of necessity. But now it became kinda fun.
