I’m back on the blog … too much to do and to little hours in a day! 
The owl is made from a vintage woolen fabric and 100% cotton. I’ve used felt for the eyes, the beak and the feet and I added two buttons to complete the eyes.
Me voici de retour … les journées sont décidément trop courtes!
Le corps de la chouette est réalisé avec un lainage vintage et des tissus 100% coton. Les yeux, le bec et les pattes sont en feutrine, et j’ai ajouté deux boutons pour terminer les yeux.
Easy and quick to make: a little hen with stripes and dots.As soon as she was ready she went to Simone who just turned 11 months ♥ ♥ ♥
Toute simple et très rapide à réaliser: une petite poule rayée d’un coté et à pois de l’autre. A peine finie, elle s’est envolée chez Simone qui vient tout juste d’avoir 11 mois ♥ ♥ ♥
Because we never have enough pouches to keep our little things organized, I’m in the mood of sewing cases. But i want them elegant so I took the time to design a pouch with no seams showing.
I’ve used a vintage wide ribbon on the top flap. This case just join some other items in my Etsy boutique.
Parce que nous nos petites choses ne sont jamais trop bien rangées, j’ai des envies de pochettes. Je les veux non seulement pratiques, mais aussi élégantes, donc j’ai pris le temps de réaliser une pochette totalement doublée (avec le même lin blanc que l’extérieur) et sans aucune couture apparente.
J’ai utilisé un ruban vintage pour le rabat. Vous trouverez cette pochette dans ma boutique Etsy.
Last month has been hectic : loads of work, school exams for Mel ( i worked so hard that I could have pass the tests myself !), and participation to Malta International Trade Fair. Now that summer is here and things start to slow down (temperatures are pretty high already) , let’s craft again!
I started with an easy project: Fabric hair Scrunchies. Lovely to tight your hair when it’s so hot!
Le mois dernier a été une folie : une tonne de travail, les examens de Mel à l’école (j’ai révisé si dur avec elle que j’aurais pu passer les exams) et la grande foire internationale de Malte. Maintenant que l’été est là et que les choses commencent à se calmer un peu, je reviens avec tout plein de projets!
J’ai commencé par quelque chose de simple et rapide : les Chouchous (j’adore le nom). Une manière élégante de relever ses cheveux quand il fait si chaud!
I’ve been busy lately, making my first baby shoes. And while I was at it, I decided for fully reversible shoes.
I’m please with the result. Aren’t they adorable! I’ve done very tiny ones, just 9 cm / 3.15” long for 0 to 3 months old babies.
Here are the first 3 pairs, well I should say 6 pairs really!
Et puis comme je ne peux jamais faire simple, je n’ai pas hésité 1 seconde : tant qu’a faire des chaussures, autant en faire deux paires d’un coup avec un modèle réversible.
Voici les 3 premières paires … enfin 6 paires puisqu’elles sont réversibles.
If you are like me and love fabric, I’m sure your drawers and craft boxes are full with pieces of fabric!
Over the years I have accumulated quite an impressive stock. Some are so old that they are Vintage!!!
And guess what : I saw all those beautiful new collections for spring and summer that I’m dying to get. But I try (and sometimes succeed) to be organised and a bit reasonable. No I won’t order any new fabric before I’ve used, not all – a life time job !- but some of what I have already in store.
And there starts THE question: which one shall I use? I have those that I liked only the day I bought them, and ignore them since then.
There are those that I love so much that I never use them, waiting for the right project for them- no idea when this will be.
And the rest.
I made a selection from the 3 groups (yessss) and ended up with 10 fabrics in the blue and green shades.
I cut a ‘slice’ of it: not too much of those I don’t like, and not too much of my favourite ones either! Then ironing of a stabilizer on each piece and there I go, assembling them all together.
All right, now I’m ready. First I decided to make a small pouch – almost a cube- to store small sewing items while on the Go, and a pincushion quite bigger than the tiny small we usually see, so we can have more than 20 pins!
After this I decided that instead of using what was left for a scissor case, I would prefer a rag doll. Well the piece of patchwork left was long and narrow, so the doll is VERY tall and VERY slim! It is in my Etsy boutique here!
Where shall I start .. The first post, can’t mess it!
I brought a little person with me; he is tiny small but so sweet. I love him and I thought you may like him too.
So here is Joe:
He is round like a ball but doesn’t exeed few grams. I started a family to hang them in my Easter tree but, they are only 5 for now, so may be I will need to adapt the size of the tree to this tiny small family. Mr Joe is 1 month old. He went straight to his adult size: 8 cm - 3″
Have a nice day!
