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
