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)
