Liberty pouch and mirror

Here is the pouch which I made with beautiful Liberty print fabric and Linen.
As everyone know, the liberty fabric costs more than regular one.
Therefore, I couldn't waste any of these!
I pieced them together to make a cosmetic pouch.
It took me all day to make a pouch. I am very happy how it turned out.

This photo shows the other side.
Floral print make you feel little spring?

I added 3 cotton laces for accent.

The size is 8"x 6"x 2.5".  It is large enough to use for travel pouch.


Here is one more item made from Liberty fabric.

I made a pocket mirror. I had ten mirror supplies, however this one is the last.
I used one of my favorite print. This is pink/brown/plum color?

with small drawstring pouch!

Both of them are available in my Etsy shop. Please take a look. :)



I purchased these two mustard yellow fabric today.
I already feel like spring. can't wait to make something from these.

Thank you for stopping by.
have a great weekend!

oil cloth tote & pouches

oil cloth tote

I made my new tote bag from oil cloth.
I had to challenge a few technique. I still need to practice to finish completely.

I added the zipper and pocket.

I purchased this beautiful flower oil cloth in Japan a few years ago.
I just store it in fold... so you can see the wrinkles. I could not remove them..
Never store the oil cloth in fold. This is one of things what I learned.

However I used the larger size needle, some part is still difficult to sew!!
I thought my machine was going to be broken.

Here is the part which I couldn't sew. So I skipped the stitch on the zipper area.
My machine doesn't have a power, so I am not sure if I can make the tote in this design in the future.

I had this fabric about 50cm. (little longer than half yard)
I could make two other pouches from left over.

I love these two pouches, especially larger size!
The size 8"x 5.5"x 2.5".  2.5" deep gave the pouch really roomy.
I should try to make the pouch in this size for my shop in the future.
Also, I used almost all fabric from this project which makes me feel good!

This medium size tote is also made from oil cloth.
Actually I made this one first. I did not notice when I was making, however this oil cloth (matt finish) is thicker than the flower print. Which means it is tough to sew on the ticker part...

I finally finished to make the tote, but not perfectly. This is for my son, probably lessen tote someday?

I think oil cloth is very useful fabric. I want to learn more how to use it!

pink patchwork pillow cover

16" pillow case

I finished new pillow cover!  It came out so pretty.... Oh so sweet!! >o<
The finished size is 16"x16". I quilted the top and back is envelope closer.

This pillow cover will be the gift to my friend's daughter for her 3rd birthday. :)

 I'd like to make another one with different color combination.
If you want me to make yours, I am happy to make custom cover!

Anyways, I purchased new PC for me!! Yey!
My old one is 7 years old. It worked very well, however the capacity became full even I moved a lot of dates to other drive.
This is my first time to buy the PC in USA. I can read and type Japanese, but the os is English.
I still need to practice how to use it.
I feel I became old, because I need a time to get to used to it. Probably I think too much.
 My son, 4 years old, he learns more faster than me to new computer!!
