Sewing again!


First I want to show you this little frog block that was made a few weeks ago for the birthday swap I'm in. It has arrived now, and hopefully he found 11 other frog friends there :)

These cute little bags are from a pattern by AnnAKa (again...) they have windows, so you can easily see the contents. I filled the medium sized bag with Easter candy for Ola last weekend, when he went to the cabin with my parents- he was thrilled! These bags are great for sewing supplies, thread and notions as well, and not to mention all those cables for my cell phone, cameras, and IPod.

This is going to be another bag. The pattern is called "the wine house", because the bag will fit a bottle of wine perfectly. Kari Renolen is the pattern designer. I have actually finished the bag, but my cameras are both at home, and the wine bag and I are at the shop (there is no wine in the bag yet...)
Have a wonderful day!

  5. I love the wine house bag. That red fabric (in the door) is fantastic--do you mind telling what it is? It's a great way to give a bottle of wine!

  11. Hello,

    I like your work. It is interesting, what wonderful things you make from fabric. I like the elk with the norwegian flag most.

    Thank you for giving me new ideas.

    Greeting from Germany,
