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.

The Liberty shoulder bag

This is the most recent bag I made with the Liberty.


There is my work of the cross stitch at the centre.









This is the back side. It has the zipper pocket and a stamped french words and a tree.






This cross stitch is from Sajou. It is beautiful pattern with two love birds.






There are 5 pockets and a removable pouch inside.




This is the pouch, and it has 4 card pockets on both sides.


You can wear it short, or






wear it long.
It's on Yahoo Japan auction from today for 4 days.

Liberty mini pouch bag

I had been making bags for my hubby and so wasn't able to make anything to put on Auction.
This is the latest pouch bag I made, and put it on Auction this morning.


In Japan, they call any bag that has a zipper joined to both sides, "Boston Bag".
So I have named it "mini boston pouch bag".
I have used the Liberty fabrics for the patch work, and the base is natural linen.


This is the back side of the pouch, and I have stamped a French love letter on it.


You can put on the attached strap to make it a mini bag.



I have made this strap using a leather and the Liberty fabric.
Quite cute.

Toto bag with the Liberty patchwork

This is the bag completed last night.
This side is the patchwork of the Liberty cotton.
It is just beautiful to work with.
The shape of the bag is the same one from the last one.
It is the zipper toto with the long zipper that comes almost to the bottom of the bag.


This is the back side of the bag. The base fabric is the European linen, and the pocket is the Liberty patchwork.


There are total of 6 pockets inside.
The fabric used inside is the cotton with a small floral print, and it matches well with the Liberty.
I have used the Liberty bias for the pocket edging.


You can wear it on your shoulder, or


You can wear it long on your body.
