hello kitty bag

Made this shopping bag. Trying to use up the fabric I have. Will probably make several more using other fabrics.

bag insert

If you often change bags, these bag inserts are perfect. You just pick it up out of your bag and transfer all your "stuff" to the next bag. My Aunty made these, they are really pretty. Thanks Aunty!

repurpose

Repurposed my iPhone holder, the front pocket used to hold my earbuds, but now it holds my portable wi-fi.

happy new year!

Sewed this bag for my host-mom, it is her birthday next month.

Hope she likes it.

I hope your 2012 will a great year filled with lots of projects and fun.

snowflakes

Figure if it isn't gonna snow, I should make my own snowflakes.

It's been awhile since I've done any wire work or beading.

I saw something similar and re-created it.

Happy Holidays!

d.i.y.

I've been seeing these "snoods" or infinity scarves here and there.

I didn't want to go out and buy one, so I "made" one...

Use a skirt pin (top left) and your favorite muffler/scarf.
Pin the ends together (top right & bottom left)
Wear it!

Now if the trend dies, I can go back to using it like a muffler/scarf.

utensil holder

I've been wanting to make a utensil holder for some time now.

Since today is very rainy and I'm stuck indoors, I decided to keep myself busy with this project.

I put two pieces of scrap fabric together and made this based on a roll-up type holder a friend had given me.

Her roll-up holder was made from a face towel.

My utensil holder holds, forks, spoons, chopsticks, butter knives & an area for tissues.

My fabric wasn't straight to begin with so when I sewed it together, it didn't come out straight either.

Anyway, I like how this turned out. I also recycled a stretchy ribbon that came with some cookies...it's like a big fabric rubber band.
