Patchwork Placemat

 Hello My Friends!!!!
How are you today?
I'm feeling better after the flu finally!!! YAY!!!
I'm still a bit tired and I still have a bit of cold but...definitely...I feel better!

I'd like to show you my new colorful placemat...
 I know...it's not an awesome or incredible project...I did much better in the past but...this is the 1st one of my new life...

I found so hard to find the "love of sewing" again...I think I'm a bit depressed and this is not nice...
So...I really loved to sew this easy and small project for get instant gratification ! LOL!!!
It has a patchwork centre realized with scraps of fabrics...
Then I sewed laces on 2 of the edges and added borders all around...

Quilted it  all and...hand sewed the binding ( this is my favourite part...I found hand sewing the binding sooooo relaxing!!!!)
And...TADAAAAA...it's done!!!

It looks great on my new table and make me happy!!!
Now...my next project will be a table topper...
I bought this new white square table, I love it so much!
But...I'd like to have a fun and happy table topper on it...maybe something that change every season...

Ok...that's all for today...
What are you working on?
I'd love to hear from you!
In the meantime...I wish a lovely day to you all!!!!
Hugs, Dany.

Summer DIY Clothes

Hello My Friends!!!!

How is your Sunday going?

Here it's cloudy and cold after the rainstorm we have had last night...

Today...I would love to show you my first attempt to make clothes for myself...

Lately...I've had so much fun working on some very basic and easy clothes for myself...

I found some very cute knit fabrics for 2 euros a piece (and some for FREE!!!) so...I tried to make something...

As the fabrics were very cheap...I tought that...also if I wasn't able to make anything cute with them...I don't wast so much money...

I've got this very cute and happy fabric (the grey one with colorful flowers) for free...a big piece...

So, I made the halter top and the ruffle skirt...

This is so summery, happy and...I feel so confortable wearing it!!!!

But...I still had another piece of this fabric so...

I made myself a dress too...

It was so much fun experimenting, adding elastics...

I love the way it turned out!!!

Next one was the purple one...

I combined 2 different kinds of fabrics, addedd ruffles...cut here...sew there and...voilà...this is the result...

I forgot to say that...I didn't use any pattern for them...

Just...tought to something and...tried to realize it!

Ok, this is the last one...for one day to the beach...

Lovely colors...and easy fit!

I have to say that...I'm satisfied about my attempts and...as I've had so much fun...I surely will try to make something else...

Did you ever tried to sew clothes?

I'd love to hear from you!!!!

I wish you all a nice Sunday!!!!!

Love, Dany

Scarf Addicted

Hello and happy Monday to all!
What about your week end?
Did you have a nice one?
I did, a relaxing and crafty week end...my favourite one...LOL!!!
Ok...I discovered that I'm scarf addicted lately, I love any kind of scarf especially if I can make it...LOL!!!
So, I'm crocheting scarves but...I also like make something with fabrics...I'm a quilter... :O)

I made myself this beautiful and so warm infinity scarf!
It's made of fleece and cotton fabric.
You can wear it around your neck and it's a super soft and warm neck warmer...

Due to it's generous size, you can wear it like a wrap...
And...ok...I can't show you in the picture because my "mannequin" is headless...LOL... but...you can also wear it around your neck and over your head...

I absolutely love the way it turned out and surely I'll make more!
I think they could be a great Xmas present!!!!


What about you? what did you do this past week end?

A bag for a wedding

 Hello my friends!!!
yesterday morning I was in a creative mood and so I decided to make myself a new bag...
I need a new bag/purse for a wedding that  will be the 30th of July...
Usually, I don't like very much the kind of bag/purse you wear to wedding parties because they are small...and I love big purses as I always have so much things to carry with me...LOL!!!!
So...having this in mind...I absolutely would not like to waste my money for a purse that I probably only use one day for few hours...

So, I decided to make myself a cute wedding purse...
I'll wear a beautiful pearl grey oriental style silk dress with red flowers and grey sandals so I need something in these colors...

I looked into my stash and I found some cute fabrics that could work, then I've also found some silk scraps and laces...The colors' combination looked so perfect to me...

 

I took one of my Tilda's book and I found a pattern that perfectly suits my taste...

And...in a couple of hours...I made it!!!!

I'm so happy with the result and I think my cute new purse goes perfectly with my dress...

So...what do you think?
