story: made this bag for a friend’s little girl. i fell in love with the pattern when i found it on the web and just had to sew it! the special thing about it is, that i dug out the green/yellow flower fabric from my mum’s old stach. it was a rest of the fabric i had a dress from as a kid 🙂 the fabric is still really nice and was perfect for this kids birdy bag!

outer fabric: thin white yeans, yellow/green/white linen with flowers

lining fabric: yellow linen

specialities: the bird shape obviously. snap fastener, wings are extra pockets. plus my first ever piping and frill.

so i finally got out my sewing machine again. my kitchen is a complete mess, but this is the result of it all: a purse made from an original  sixties/seventies curtain i got at a flea market. i have tons of that fabric, so lots of more pink things still to come 🙂

some time ago i found this shoey fabric at ebay and had to have it. i’m still thinking about what i could sew with in… maybe a tshirt?!

isn’t it brilliant! 🙂

wow. my first item is on sale at etsy! http://cazcrafts.etsy.com

let’s see how that goes. how exciting 🙂

i just bought this lovely screaming pink fabric on a flea market in bornheim (frankfurt). it’s curtains originally from the 60ties/70ties 🙂

bought 2 for 4€, each of them being about 2.40m x 1.60m – so loads of fabric for future bags…

brilliant.

i’ll throw it in the washer now and think about what i could sew out of this fabric 🙂
