more sewing boxes and a bag


I have made this sewing box, and


this sewing box together last week.


And this is the new bag I made after I finished the sewing boxes.
I am now waiting for accessories to put into the sewing box, so
I won't be makin them for a while.


This bag I made with using antique feed sack cotton,
and patchworked a small cross stitch of a bird.


The back side has a zipper pocket with a stamp of a dove.
The size is W33cm - 42cm, H 25cm, D 16cm, and so
is quite big. But you can make it smaller by fastening the button
on each side of the bag.

sewing box request


I received a request for more sewing boxes, so I have started making them yesterday.
I have used the framing technique for this one as I always wanted to try it.
Normaly you frame an embroidered work, but I will do that for the next one.
The plain green fabric is the linen fabric, and it gives a natural feel of retro touch.


This is the inside of the box.
I will be working on bits and pieces tonight, so hopefuly I can put it out for auction tomorrow.

The bag with Laura Ashley fabrics.


This is the big size shoulder bag made with 2 types of the Laura Ashley fabrics.
Size: H 30cm / W38 - 35cm / D 12cm


One big front pocket with the lid is fastened by magnetic hock.


The back side has one zipper fastner. Zipper size is 20cm.


There are this side pockets on both sides, and it has a snap button so you can adjust its width.
If you carry a big water bottle like this, open the snap button, if you are not carrying anything, flatten it by snapping the button back on.


The handle is adjustable in length, so you can wear it short on your shoulder, or long.
It is on Yahoo Japan auction from today for 4 days.

Alice and the cat bag


This is the recent bag I have made.
It's my first attempt to do patchwork and quilting.
Instead of a pattern quilting, I used the normal embroidery thread and sewn a face of the cat and some leaf patterns on the patchwork.



I have also appliqued the stamped fabrics and a smily face of the cat.


I have quilted a clock for the back, and a different stamp of Alice is sewn in the centre.
