Bags

I finally finished the camouflage bag for my co-worker and the minute she came home with it her young daughter stole it so I got myself another order for a bag. 

I already this second bag started because I kind of wanted it for myself but thought well if she wants it why not finish it for her. 

The bag got a thumbs up from the kid so I went ahead and finished it. 

Below you can see the camouflage bag. I have a video of the making of this bag. It just needs some finishing touches before I upload it to Youtube.

Ordered some clothes

I've been thinking for a while what to do with a gift card I was gifted at Christmas last year. And after watching a video on YouTube I got the idea that I wanted to buy some cheap China clothing just to take them apart and use them as patterns. I mean the best patterns are from clothes that are already sown and fit you. 

I think I got my money's worth. 6 items of clothing. 1 coat, 1 jacket, 1 top and 3 dresses. All different models and modifiable.

I just hope they gonna fit when they arrive. 

I know cheap clothing and fast fashion are the worst you can get if you wanna save the planet but I figure that with those clothes I can remake some of my old things and probably also limit my fabric waste. I have some ideas on what to do with all the scraps.

So with that I hope you all had a nice weekend and I hope I can inspire others to sew more and upcycle.

Work and more work

It seems like I'm working all the time but I have found some time to finish a dress I started and I'm working on the camobag for my co-worker. The video for the camobag is also coming along pretty nicely. All that is left now is to attach the handles and zippers.
