Apple, The Flower girl

Apple is custom made for flower girl gift, I sewn more dresses and accessories for her.

I normally like to make my animal dolls using pure linen fabric, I bought Robert Kaufman's Linen/cotton blend from celticfushion and love them. Apple is in sand colour and after filling her, she looks so lovely.

Clutches, purses requests

Recently I have been asked to make clutches and purses by my friends, that is why I start listing them in my Etsy shop. I made few patterns myself and purchased some from the experts, lots of them from Etsy website.

For myself I want a small but roomy handbag so I purchased this pattern from                      and have no regret.
The owner is so helpful and informative, I received the pattern within 2 hours and I sent her questions about the pattern, I had got a response right away.
The good thing of buying patterns from  professional pattern designer  is I  have learnt so much from them. I used to buy lots of books with patterns but I love buying on line now.  Once I received it, I read it and print the pattern out and get on with sewing. I normally use accessories I have already had first, then changing them the way I like mine.

A lovely design handbag

No, it is not my design. I have bought this pattern from this shop the PDF pattern is so clear and easy to follow. I was sent bag making tips which are very useful and I have learnt new things from it.

I tried a new fusible '' Vilene Firm Fusible'', I found it is too hard for this project but the bag shape is nice. I think I chose wrong exterior fabric to use with this fusible, the exterior fabric is quite thick. I struggled with sewing the bag flap between the exterior and interior fabric.

Instead of using a big round button to decorate the flap, I used Bead and Lace  ponytail holder from shop, cut the band off and stitch the corsage to the bag flap.




This bag is for you ''GEE''  on your birthday, see you at your party, Love x




I am looking for a new colorful fabric to sew this pattern again, this time is for myself.
