seasonal ?



an autumn wind seems to blow over here


a new brooch in a silk & wool blend for my new tunic
a mushroom found in the yard,
some more hair pin bows -- grown up versions this time,
a retro 70ies tapestry -- they appeared here & there very often these past months, always creatively re-used : bags, lampshades, pillows... and even a couch cover included in the last marie-claires idées (keep tuned) -- thrifted this summer & a few fabrics
all chosen to make a weekend bag = anybody has shape/pattern suggestions ?  i plan on adding some leather straps... how i ((heart)) this mustard yellow !


 pop in at highly inspirational kootoyoo for more creative corners !

  3. It's all so so beautiful..I'm still stuck on that tunic which lies beneath that brooch...

    BTW you must make the tie, it's one of those really satisfying projects... you may already do this but I used a hera marker to be sure I had really accurate folds...just a tip!

  20. hank you, you all sweet ladies !
    anyone for a travel bag pattern suggestion ? it has to fit the size standards of the main low cost (plane) companies therefore is restricted to weekend bag size

    Theresa : of course yes ! I sent you an email, and saw you were the host for two weeks...

    Lucie : j'aimerais oui !

    Memmu : I agree with you, a fab combination !!
