Shabby Chic love

I always love shabby chic style
with soft pastel colors and ribbons

After making my iPad sleeve, I was in the mood of making another one with pastel colors and maybe a little handle, which you can carry around and can fit in your iPad with smart cover, wallet and an iPhone

and here it is: 


I used fleece and as batting. Fleece is nice to quilt since it doesn't move, so for small projects I don't need to pin them


again I quilted it with my fave decorative stitch
this time I lengthen the stitch a little bit


The grey fabric was from my fave Bombay dyeing. It's linen cotton for men's shirt. 
It's difficult to get a linen here, so when I see one I pick up. Though it's a bit expensive but it's worth it


the back side is plain grey and I love how the quilting turned out

simplicity is always the best, imho ^_^

This bag is listed in my Etsy Shop and is ready to ship


Until then,




Vigbyor Tote for a swap

Last August we at Desi Quilter had this Tote'lly Bag Swap. It was kind of mystery swap. We knew whom to send but we didn't know who will be our sender. Plus, each participant posted their mood board as a guidance.

The tough part is to get that 'aha' moments. I have to make tote for Nikhat and she posted this mood board:


The moment I saw her board, rainbow came to my mind. I browsed a lot of rainbow bags and quilt looking for inspiration but nothing click. I wanted something not too gaudy where she can tote it around. Looked into my fabric stash n settled for my Bali batiks. Using the method of "tour around the world" block I made this tote.

Size: 18" x 16"


Well, once I started sitting in my sewing machine, ideas started flowing. I used what's left to make a little detachable zip pouch {for small change or maybe lipstick ^^}



I quilted it using decorative stitch which I love to do so much :D

 

hmm look at the vibrant colors of the batik again. I simply love these bundles!


Now, DH cousin and aunt wanted the same thing ..hmm guess everyone loves a huge tote. 

Until then...
 Happy Sewing
