Tee-lard!!!

I just saw that I didn't post that much in september! I'll try and do better in october! But... lots of stuff on my to do list and lots of them is for Xmas gifts ;) so no showing before that! Here's what I made last week...
I'll start with yet another bucket bag :) I made this one for the 40th birthday of my neighbor and friend ( Hi Gen!). I used a small scrap of really bright fushia flower print and started from there (used cotton remnant and black jeans too)... Can you tell she loves pink?! I made a kanzashi flower to go with it. I'm very happy with the results!

Now for my new and fun stuff! I saw some tee-shirts scarves around the net and got inspired to try some myself... I reaaally liked sewing them, it's so much fun choosing the t-shirts and assembling them together! I'll be definitely doing more of them. These 2 will be put for sale (I already put them on facebook). I named them Tee-lard (t-shirt and foulard (scarf in french)).

On a bag roll!

I think I'm on a bag roll lol! A LYS asked to see some of my stuff and since there's nothing in inventory I need to start building one... The first one is not for knitting stuff I think it's more handbag style. I made it out our fabric remnants, reclaimed buttons. And I'm very happy with its looks :)
(ETA... I didn't remember I already made a post about this bag... LOL! sorry to be talking about it twice!)





The second one is my first finished knitting bag for the LYS. I made it to match the needle roll I made previously. Made out of jeans, fabric remnant, part of a reclaimed belt, reclaimed zips and buttons. I like it a lot!

And be happy! Life is smilling everywhere!!

lol!

Sewing week-end!

I've been sewing not like crazy but I may say it has been productive! I'll start with the new bag I made. I used old curtain (beige fabric) and fabric remnant. I'm quite happy with the big flower at the front... It gives the bag some caracter it was really lacking. The buttons at the back are different from the front because I only had 2 of them... What do you think of the final product?






I've been making more panties too! I really need some ;) I took these:

Cherries Cami and a baby blanket

And turn them into these:

I really squeeze 2 pairs for Camille in the cherry cami and had to use another t-shirt for the lining. I was able to make two pairs for me in the baby blanket too.. It's been a nice week-end even though I had to push myself for getting started...

First bag for sale!

Here's the first bag available for sale!!! ( I already sold 3 bags but didn't have time to post it before :) so it's the first one that I post and not sold yet...)
I made it out of linen blouse, men's shirt and it's lined with jeans.

Business Name!

I'm all happy I've found a name for my "business" (bags, cosmetic pouches, purses and the like).
I will call it " Cul de Sac" in english it means dead end but in french a bag is sac... It's kind of cute I think ;)

Here's the pencil case I made for my daughter who asked for a princess...


S

She's very happy with it!

I'm almost done with my circular shawl!! 2/3 of the bind off to go ;) Pics coming soon...

Pencil case for Julien!

So, what have I been up to???!! I did some stuff for a friend who asked for a knitting bag (Hi Suzanne!!) but you won't see picture of it... Don't want her to see her stuff before I give it to her ;)


To make you wait for these here's some pencil case I made for my son! He requested something mario bros related. I need to make one for my oldest too...



It took me 1h45 to embroidered but was worth it as my son is quite happy with it.





Made out of jeans and remnant of his room's curtain! I love this pattern and it's so easy to sew (about 20 min).


Still working on a circular shawl to go with my fabulous red shoes...

Instant gratification!!

How about some underwear....?







I took a pajama t-shirt:










You can see that it's ready to be cut.


And made these:








Now for a try... ;)
A good tutorial for sewing underwear.

toddler ruffles

I found this jumper at the thrift store and loved it... but it was a little too short for my girl (24 months size)so:


before:

And: Tadaa! a new one just the right size!

I used fabric from stash and add a 3 inches in lenght.



I started painting my new sewing room (the baby old room, 8'x8')... Can't wait to move my sewing and crafting stuff in it!
