my craftsy class, yay !!!

Hello lovelies, remember when I talked about the amazing opportunity I had a few weeks back when I flew to Denver and recorded a sewing class with Craftsy ? Yeah, the class is now live and it all is super surreal, and exciting, and intimidating all at the same time, eeeeek !!! My class Giftable Projects: Zippered Bags and Purse Organizer is a six lesson class with detailed instructions and lots of tips on how to make three different zipper pouches. Would you like to see the pouches I designed for the class? Here we go.  Easy Coin Pouch with removable wrist strap is the first (and easiest project). I love this sweet little pouch and have made quite a few of them for my daughters and their friends already.  The second pouch I teach is Double Zip pouch which makes a perfect pencil pouch or make up bag. I'm also thinking it would make a great hand sewing supplies pouch. Oh, the possibilities :) Last, but definitely not least, is this Keep it Ne...

lately


Hello, happy Monday everyone!

I've been feeling super creative lately and have been happily jumping from one project to another. Would you like to see?


:: sock knitting ::

I love having a knitting project for when I watch Netflix or listen to podcasts in the evening. My go to projects are usually simple socks or a shawl.


:: pattern designing ::

I've been working on some prototypes for my newest pdf pattern. I hope you will love these wristlets as much as I do.


:: new coasters ::

I also made these qayg coasters. I love projects like that as they don't take much time to make and are a great way to use up some scraps of fabric as well as batting. I have a free tutorial on how to make these in case you'd like to whip up a few coasters of your own.


:: sketching ::

I'm a strong believer in one's ability to learn new skills and greatly improve with practice, so I've been reminding myself to do a bit of drawing and sketching few times a week. I'm obsessed with barns and cats, as you can see :).



And, I decided to make myself a new Alice purse. I hope to be able to show it to you soon.


How about you? Have you been working on any fun projects? I'd love to know.

Svetlana

un-paper towels (a quick tutorial)

Hello friends, I hope 2018 is off to a good start for you all! I'm not a fan of new year's resolutions as I tend to break them almost as soon as I think them up :),  but I did decide to focus more on producing less waste this year. My whole family is on board (which makes even small changes a lot more doable) and our first task is to work on reducing the amount of paper and plastic products we use in our kitchen. To start things off, I decided to replace our paper towels with a bunch of fabric un-paper towels . I came across quite a few suggestions on how to make these - some were just plain fabric, others had little snaps or grommets attached. In the end I went with a simple combination of cotton fabric and terry cloth, not adding any hardware as I worried that it might scratch my dishes or counters. I used some pretty fabric that's been sitting in my stash for far too long to make these. I even had some terry cloth on hand so the whole process was super quick and very, ve...
