Anemones

The thing that I missed so much recently was doing some fabric design. So, within past few days I've started working on some new designs as I was longing a long time to do some bold floral prints.




Here are some first things I did so far. I feel so inspired and simply can't wait to finish the whole collection!




 I've uploaded these 2 prints @ Society 6 where you can buy the designs on variety of neat products such as art prints, stationery cards, pillows, bags, tee shirts, iPhone cases and iPod and iPad skins.

RnR cushion

disclosure: this post was edited, b/c I had issues with someone steeling my pics and sharing them on FB.  A note to myself- never share pics that you might see somewhere else on the net, disliking that! Not all people play fair!



During the last month, I managed to play with some real, modern stuff and beautiful fabrics and I made one modern cushion for me too:). Here are some pics...

New bags

The last thing I sewed in the 2012 was a bag, (as a present for my mom) and the first things I sewed in this 2013 were bags as well:)




The thing is that-when you have such an easy way of assembling the bag, as like when working with one these handy Spoonflower patterns/templates , it's quite enjoyable to make a bag. And of course, there is even the step by step tutorial, here on my blog.
This time, I've decided to pull 2 bags out of one panel (yard) of the fabric, with adding some neutral, linen lining.







Here are some pics of my girls having fun with finished pieces, before assembling them as bag.









I've decided to keep this one above as mine, just LOVE it!!!
Hope you started this new year with some fresh, new creations as well!!Promise to share lots of mine with you this year too!:))

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:)

Stripwork skirt tutorial and the most beautiful feature

I am so excited to share with you 2 things: first is the newest stripwork skirt tutorial I wrote that you can download, read and print as the booklet. Isn't that great??? And another one that makes me so happy and honored is that I'm featured on the Art Gallery fabrics blog. Actually the stripwork skirt tutorial is created with "Rock 'n Romance" fabrics by Pat Bravo. I can't stop talking about the wonderful quality of theirs fabrics. And about wonderful people running and working in the company. I can't hide that my biggest dream is to be able to have my designs printed on the quality fabrics like theirs. That would be a dream come true....

So, here is the tutorial, hope you'll try it and let me know your thoughts:)
Also, I just created the coupon code- ROCKANDROMANCE - to be used in my etsy shop that will save 15% on your entire order, including this Rockish collection.
Have a wonderful weekend,

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!!!
