A pocket hanging thingy for Julia's baby

(click to see big)

My oldest friend since I live in UK is Julia. She is a crazy Kraut (like she calls Germans), and she is expecting a baby boy, which we cannot wait to see!! To celebrate this wonderful news, I made her this little thing to hang on his room. It was SO much fun to make and plan! The fabric of the soldiers comes from Japan, the rest I got here in London.



Bags!

On my quest to make carrier bags to stop using plastic ones, I had some spare time one Sat eve so I went crazy and started making bags.. so I made one, then another, then another.. until I got 5 cut and half done! It took me 2 sessions to make them all, around 45 minutes per bag, not bad huh? Is so much fun!!

This is the simplest of them all.. but my favourite. I love the contrast of the strong red with the simple cream... bit summery :-)


This and the next one are very femenine.. I love how they are discreet until you open them and you can see the flowers inside! I actually decided to keep this one for me because I like it so much!!
The bag hunging from the door knob is for Robyn, because she is a super girl who has helped me a lot to get plenty of freelance design work.. so I made it for her. Still haven't given it to her but hopefully she will like it!!
This bag was for Julia, I gave it to her for her b'day. It is made with vintage fabric that I've inherited from my auntie Meme from Spain. I love how cheerful it is!! Everbody who saw this bag wanted it!!



And this last one is made with traditional Japanese fabric. So I gave it to my mum who not only bought the fabric but also would appreciate its quality the most.. is creamy colour on the inside...
