Patchwork scarf

One of my clients asked if I could do a custom order for the man in her life. She wanted a a patchwork scarf using the beautiful blue hues.
Well I love doing custom orders. I love the entire process of sorting through my fabrics, selecting the ones that look wonderful together and sewing them up to create a one of a kind piece.
I used navy blue corduroy and a blue stripey fabric. I then teamed them up with some gorgeous Japanese cotton fabrics, that I had been collecting, to come up with this unique design.
I'm posting it out today and will let you know what they think of it in a future post.

How to make Quilted Coasters with Binding

I've been making some coasters lately and I'm totally addicted to them. They have a top and bottom layer and in between I have sandwiched cotton batting to absorb any spills and interfacing for support. The four layers are sewn together using freehand machine stitching.

Reversible Pleated Yoke Bag from My Studio.

We all have a favorite item and this has to be mine. It's made out of turquoise pinwhale corduroy and vintage barkcloth. It's reversible so you get two bags in one; what a bonus.
It has a soft slouchy feel to it and has a button and loop closure on both sides.
A fabulous looking bag that is suitable for day and evening events.

Handmade Fabric Rose

I made this folded rose using a beautiful pale blue chambray cotton. It has a metal pin on the back which is handsewn to a piece of blue felt.
You can pop the rose onto your lapel, decorate a hat or pin it to your favourite bag.
