small presents

Every time  I have to come up with a small present, I go back to a beloved pattern:

Lieselotte Hoppenstedt.

I really love the clean form of this pouch, and the pattern is as versatile as the pouch itself. You can make it of one fabric or two, add embroidery and or woven ribbon (if you are German, always take both *g*).

Today  I made one for Tessas beloved day care teacher:

I hope she will like it!

Up to some last minute gifts, too? Have a productive week :-)

pattern: Lieselotte Hoppenstedt / Farbenmix (available in english too!)
fabric: isso ecco by Lecien, corduroy by sew mama sew (2011)
woven ribbon: Farbenmix

I didn't make anything for halloween.

I mean, I did not sew anything for Halloween.
It was just not important enough for me to use my rare time to make a costume for one day....

But I made a handmade birthday gift today, for a friend of my daughter's:

Pouch with Zipper, the pattern is Lieselotte Hoppenstedt by Farbenmix, the main fabric is Tula Pink turtle bay olive (Prince Charming).
The woven ribbon is by Farbenmix, too,
and the name is embroidered by machine (I love my embroidery machine!)

And as a dear coworker, who is always carsharing with me, had her birthday saturday, I gave her a zipper pouch to and inside was a large shopping bag - we will have the new law charging for paperbags in January, too (finally!!!) so I think she might have good use of it.

these are two wonderful Lecien fabrics (Isso ecco series), the same great linen/cotton quality as Kokka fabric, and you get the prints for about 6.50 Dollar now - a yard!
I ordered mine in this etsy shop - it was here after two days only, and every request of mine (more? even more?) was answered in instants....


Have a great week,
Tina
