iPad2 sleeve





I had to make a nice comfy home for my new iPad2 as the smart cover won't protect the back of the iPad.

I made the sleeve without any pattern as it was fairly simple. A little addition was the two pockets at the front for charging cords and cleaning cloths.

Grey & red wallet


I had an inspirational moment last night and had to stay up until midnight to make this new wallet. The outside fabric is beautiful cotton sateen and inside red cotton with matching pattern. Looks very christmassy to me!

This wallet was made following Confessions of a Fabricaholic's Wallet Tutorial. The great thing about this pattern is that it fits all your wallet essentials nicely AND you can also pop your iPhone in it and use it as a little clutch! What more do you need? :)

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.
