Bags!

The last two weeks I made some bags from leftover fabric (which I have way to much to use up in a lifetime...).
First I made these two bags. The fabric with the rose pattern was given to me by my MIL and I think it fits very well with the green structured fabric.


The next one i made for my MIL as a birthday present :)
For the lining I used this nice patterned fabric.

Sewing bags was really fun since there a many easy patterns out there that one can modify. For example I found this blog posts by Heather from the sewing loft which links to 100 different bag/tote patterns ranging from fast and easy to more advanced bags: http://thesewingloftblog.com/100-free-tote-bag-patterns/

Art Summary of 2016

Hello!
In January 2016 I started a A5 sketchbook. It helped me alot to draw more since I can take it with my on my weekend job and draw when we have downtime. I tried many different styles: cartoony, manga, realistic...original characters, fanart...different techniques aquarels, colored pencils, ink, photoshop....

I also did my first inktober. And I'm so proud that I managed to draw everday of october!  Whoohoo~ And it was so much fun.

Sometimes I get super frustrated when things turn out the way I want and want to improve so much faster that I have to remind myself that I do this for fun :p

Here is a little art summary I did two weeks ago, where you can see a tiny bit of improvement.

Let's see if I can draw even more in 2017 =D

Bunny circus paintings

One of my new year resolution was to draw more. When I was still in school I drew and doodled all the time, but as I grew older I drew less and less and kind of regret it.

I found a thick A5 sketch book and my goal was to use every single piece of paper in it till the end of the year. So far it's working great to keep me motivated and I have to get another book soon =D

Here are three pieces with the theme "bunny circus" that were really fun to do :3

Plushies - pink bunnies and dog toy

Sorry, I've neglected this blog for month now. I wasn't even that lazy and actually have a few things to show.

First two plush bunnies that I gave away as little easter presents.

And a plush bone. I made another one for a collegue ...well both dogs loved them =D I sewed on lines on the bones to give them some structure and make them more durable.

Cherry stone pillows

I love cherry stone pillows. You can warm them up in the microwave, perfect fot the winter time or to help easing stomach or back pain.

I made a bunch of them for family and friends as christmas presents. They are cheap and easy to do and a great way to use up left over fabric!

Here a few that I made the last weeks. A cat shaped one.

 A big green one.
 Made from an old torn jeans.
 And the one I made for my mom!
