Association of art lovers Brcko

Recently, I am a member of the Association of art lovers Brcko and we had a small exhibition.
For a start it's not bad. Simply for people to get to know us and our work.
These days, we as an association on a big fair in Brcko. Tomorrow is the opening so I'm busy with the preparations.
A few pictures of our first exhibition.

 A few pictures of my friends who are the same lovingly to their own branch of art.

Next week I have the possibility to show my work to a wider audience in my small town.
For now, please enjoy the new bags, all shapes and sizes.................
All the bags I've made ​​in the last two weeks, it was hard but well worth it.

- black denim with lots of details 

 - glamor and glitter for the gloomy autumn days

- beautiful pockets of jeans and leather

- a unique jacket with details that are begging to become one bag

-fllower bags are never enough

- several small kit

keep on going...........

I still do big bags for a customer,  have just one more to do!
In a few days I'm going to prepare my stuff for one exhibition in my city with other "artists".
About this I will write later and now I just want to share a few images of two bags.  
The smaller bag was a gift for my best friend and the other, biger  is ordered.
The two bags showing how tastes are different, starting with the size and the choice of materials!!

 

repeating

I made again a XXL bag.
It is amazing how much faster and easier I sew when it is quiet and peaceful around me.
This bag took me about 4-5 hours.

Gift for a schoolgirl

I got dozens of fabulous jeans and  I decided to transform one ot them in to a  schoolbag for a  little girl who has grown out of them.

 This floral bag was created as a therapy, because it always cheer when I work with beautiful materials.

New XXL bags

I only have time to show you a couple pictures of my new XXL bags.  
I'm a little proud of my work. 
I got 10 pairs of pants and slowly sew bags from them, and I think I'm good at it!

 

Sewing becomes easier

While I sewed the last 4 bags (two I could not even take pictures) I noticed that sewing becomes easier. 
The process of planning, cutting and sewing bag has become much simpler. 
I was not aware of it until I noticed that the process of making bags runs smoothly, without frustration and dead-end moments.
Just a couple of pictures of the last bag, which become larger and larger!!!!

 A similar bag I made last spring, and this is a bit larger and with more detail.

     
The next bag is an example how a  high-quality new jeans becomes a  high-quality bag!

 

New experience

Dear friends invited me to the fair of traditional crafts in Brcko.  
With the summer heat we hung out, sold quite a lot of things and made  ​​new friends,
 a new experience for me. 
 If you are interested in how and who was there, see here

I had to quickly make a few bags, the best excuse to start to sow.

 next one

the last one

 
PS: 90% of my creations are made from recycled trousers and jackets, shirts and other garments

Natural materials

After a long summer break, several bags of natural materials; of course, linen, cotton, jeans ..........
All bags are sewn from pieces that were left from previous works and proof that good things do not have to be expensive.

A pair of jeans with a little imagination and a decorative button .................

 On the handles I like the wrinkled look of the linen

 
A solid little purse with lots of details



 

colorful beauty

This colorful beauty is sewn nearly three years ago but I've never managed to take a picture of  her.
An example of what can be made from the remnants of fabric, bating and lots of  time.
She is 185 x 185 cm ( cca.72x72 inc. )

Unfortunately I have to admit that the quilt is not completely finished, I have lots of handqulting to do.

  

This is not my biggest quilt but I spent the most time on it (and it's not quite finished)
