Wokr with leather

In the closet I found an old leather jacket. I took it to the cleaners and now I have a beautiful soft and pleasant leather to work with it. Since then I made two bags from her.
I was afraid that I would not be able to sew leather but turned out to be as easy as solid cotton or linen.
I already have some ideas for smaller bags ...........we'll see!


My pictures are still vague and too bright, but I'm trying for better quality

New XXL Bag

I made some more bags.
These special pieces of denim fabric I've kept gathering for a special project. Finally I decided for this shape and size of the bag. It is very spacious and is not at all heavy.



I had a lot of small pieces that are plush rest of a unfinished (still not finished) quilt. Of course I had to make of this scraps one more bag.Very simple but beautiful.

PS: Did I mention that you can buy any bag that I've published?

Few other handbags

Today only images with a description!

This was a big kit that I made a few years ago. I added him handle and turned it into a beautiful bag.



Brown denim fabrics with golden ons and lace of the same color.
Small but I can put in her keys, tissues, lipstick ..............



Beautiful shining denim fabrics (skirt in a previous life) transformed into a smaller case.



These are my first attempts to put on a tin can and a cardboard box in the shape of a heart in denim fabrics.

I am in love with jeans

For a long time I did not have the opportunity or the will to do something,
 but I am now back with a lot of ideas.
The possibility of making thousands of fantastic things of old blue jeans and other solid materials is a great motivation.

                                                     Shopping Bag with appliqued oldtimer`s



It is quite big, it can fit a lot into it



this picture is terrible but I have not learned to handle our camera, sorry





- recycling jeans; skirt with lace trim, a lot of details and a lot of layers to sew.  
                         I only broke one needle ...................                   



- small projects; cases for phones or other small necessities

two summer bags

Last week, I started to collect all kinds of linen fabric and I managed to get a pair of hand-woven towels. Armed with these treasures I began to sow. To short a long story , the work process was exciting and interesting like the final result.
I think these two summer bags are perfect for every occasion! I love them!
 Here I added and a little crocheted flower that I was saving for a special project
 
Both are spacious and fairly lightweight.

 

In the first bag I took for the inside a thin, light jeans fabric and sew on linen pocket on it. In the second bag I picked up a brown cotton and white linen and combined pockets of them.







 Another detail: pearl button, a flower and a little amateur embroidery.

roses and a bag, again

This wonderful material I decided to spend to the last inch.
I combined it with a dark blue flax, and each side I quilted differently. The result is not bad but there are room for improvement!

                                                                              
Inside I put two pockets, all in various shades of blue.                                                                        


In the end, just to show what is currently on my shoulder when I go somewhere!


It's a reversible bag. There is no batting, just two layers of fabric with a pocket and a button.














Another reversible bag that has not received the attention it deserves!
