little projects...

i just love fabric, and have all kinds of piles all over my room. this one pile is all left overs from one of my school projects, and i've been working with the bits this week. i've made a bunch of little brooches, when i get a nice picture i'll share it with you.


i have also been working with this super cute fabric from the workroom.

I'm Done My Bags!!

So the project that we have due next week in our studio class is our Bag project, to produce a series of three bags. And I'm all done sewing mine!! Not that I'm all done the project tho, I still have labels to make and sketchbook to finish, but the bags are all done and put together!!! I dont think that I've ever been done a project this early. I must say that I'm very proud of my self. For this project I decided that I wanted to work with printing my own fabric, and then working with more of a simple shape for the bag. During our lectures and my research time I really found that I liked old utility bags, like mail bags, sailor bags, post sticker bags, and news paper boy bags. But I couldn't find one of those shapes that I really wanted to use, and felt more inclined to go with a more modern, hand bag. So thats what my project turned out to be, a series of purses with the printed themes of mail, sailor and newspaper. Hope you like them!
