Easy fabric Xmas ornaments in Aquarelle

Xmas is just around the corner and I am so happy that I had new fabrics to play with. 

It's my Aquarelle collection for Art Gallery fabrics.:)

I will dedicate the next post to better introduction and presentation of the collection, but I had to show off these freshly made fabric ornaments, that were so easy and fun to make! 

Actually I am so happy that this year we decided to buy a small natural tree that we can't wait to plant in the garden, just after the Holidays.

Regarding the ornaments, I browsed the internet to find some ideas and here are the links to some great ideas:

👉 no sew Xmas scrap trees

instead of the cinnamon sticks, I used some vintage wooden spools that were perfect for wrapping few fabric strips (just folded in half lengthwise) and holding the ribbon tied into a knot at the bottom

👉 fabric Xmas ornaments

👉 candy cane ornaments

Hope you are trying to bring some joy into this Xmas period, which is not very easy with current pandemic, but let's stay well (positive would sound totally inappropriate) and safe!!!

Happy Holidays and happy sewing!

Inside and outside

It's snowy. And cold. And that time of the year when kids are getting cold so often, that it's becoming quite annoying. I can't say that I don't like winter, but looking forward to the warmer days. In the meantime here are some pics of what we are up to....trying to enjoy this pre-Xmassy period.

























Hope that you are in some cozy, warm place and doing well:)

Holiday Xmas tags - freebie!!!

Xmas is just behind the corner, so I started creating some first gifts. I am so happy to be able to have my own fabric designs printed through Spoonflower, and it makes so much easier to create some things with the designs in forms of fabric templates. You can find them mainly HERE and HERE. 



We are having the fun contest @ Spoonflower this week. It's a contest for the gift tags that can be printed on fabric (or wall decal or wallpaper material), then cut out and used by anyone. I started designing them, firstly based on my animal laser cut cardboard tags , but then I started playing with some mustaches, frames, letters and shapes and I just couldn't decide which ones to use, so I used all!!!So there are 24 different tags, a bit of something for small and bigger kids!!



Here is my contest entry but now you can even download 4 different tags (total of 12 tags when printed on the A4 paper sheet) as paper template.

Simply, just download it HERE, cut them end use them!:)
Please just play fair, as these are FOR PERSONAL USE ONLY. So, PLEASE DO NOT COPY, DISTRIBUTE, SELL, OR CLAIM THEM AS YOUR OWN.

Hope you will love and use them!
Happy prepping x Holidays!!!

Xmasy

A little bit over 20 days left till Xmas. I like this period, thinking about decorating and enjoying decorations and ornaments.

I love thinking about gift giving and all what goes with it...presents, wrapping, bows, cards etc...





Each year I think about making downloadable illustrations x tags, cards etc., but time is never enough for everything. Well, next year, hopefully. But I just love these little kraft tags I made last year



They can be found in my etsy shop and in Alere Modern shop.

Also, I will be participating in Sew, mama sew big Giveaway on December 12, so be prepared and if you have any ideas or wishes, please let me know;)) I am still undecided and unsure about what to Give away.
