Use Your Treasures Part 3

I fell in love with the pink and yellow colour scheme of the pouch that I showed you in my last blog post, so when it was time to finally make that tablet sleeve that I've been meaning to sew for months, I went with the flow. I combined my hand dyed and hand printed fabrics with linen - I love the contrast between rough and neutral coloured linen and smooth and colourful cotton. I used the same pattern that I've used for mobile phone covers, only bigger. Now I'm ready to carry my tablet around in style!

And just as a reminder, this is what it looks like as a mobile cover:

Thanks for visiting!

 

A Jarful of Fabric Candy

I recently discovered that my favourite key holder was well past its best, and decided to make myself a new one. And while I had my fabrics, iron and sewing machine out I figured I might as well make a whole batch for coming needs. I put them in a glass jar, to cheer myself up in the darkness of late October in Finland. It's like a jarful of fabric candy.

Here are some of them in close-up. I like to use my own hand-dyed and surface designed fabrics in combination with linen.

Now I just need to get enough key rings to finish them.

Thanks for dropping by, and see you again soon!
