Remember to match your shoes with bag!

So... when I know that a friend of mine was planned to going to IKEA on saturday I ask her to bough me some fabric. She bringt to me the "treasure" on monday morning. Well, time two days and this is what I made! I'm really really estatic with the result. :)

Pattern Bag by Amy Butler

Rain, rain, rain....sewing, sewing, sewing!

For this Sunday we had planned to make a barbecue in the garden of my parents, but the weather has not been clement, it was raining all the day, so the barbecue is skipped. To pull me up, this morning I decided to sew a bag just for me. And that's it! I am satisfied with the result and then I decided that if every time it rains is not too bad.

Fabric used: Extra strong Canvas and Amy Butler fabric.

Best selling product?

Yes! I have my one! :)
I've bought a lot of this great Italian Moda fabric time ago in winter, I liked so much the texture,the high cotton quality and the design that I've purchased more than 1 meter, and I have it also in red. (My credit card burnt that month! :))

So, I made and sold at least 3 granny bag from this beautiful black and white fabric, two of them with it's coordinated pouch, the last one (those in the picture) goes to my friend Viviana, that purchase the bag and coordinated as "custom made order" at my Dawanda shop.
She just wrote me to say that she love the bag!

I'm so happy with the result, I love the shape of the Granny Bag, and this fabric seems really made for it!

So I'm feeling as I'm doing well, and I'm fulfilled by the creative ispiration, and of course by the spring! This morning I celebrated my feeling with a big Ice cream and no gym! yeah!
Have a nice week end!

Worker's holiday

In Italy today was the worker's holiday, so I was at home from the office. So this morning, I could met a new internet friend that come in Trieste from Holland. Cindy is a very lovely and kind person, she do quils and it's a fan of Tildas. I could see some of her works and them all are beautiful! I enjoyed met her and her daughter in Piazza Unità, where we had a coffe, cappuccino and "Caffelatte Grande". After an half hour we met also her Husband and friend. We promised each other to stay in contact and I hope to see her soon.

I spend the afternoon with my boyfriend at my parents garden, and we come home just for a shower and we are going out for dinner!
So I had a happy 1st of May!
