ps stamps and more stamps i have been busy very busy busy with making stamps yes fabric stamps aren t they lovely so many of them and they are all different any ideas what to use them for i am still thinking read more posted by larisa at 18 37 2 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels fabric scraps stamps friday 11 october 2013 please meet krupenichka a traditional russian rag doll filled with grains such as buckwheat wheat or barley the great thing about krupenichka is that you don t need to sew anything apart from the first step making a small sack for the body the rest is just cutting folding and dressing the doll up isn t she cute she is very small only 8 5 cm tall and her body is filled with barley i was going to use buckwheat but then changed my mind because i was making the doll in the evening and did not have any buckwheat at hand you can find a step by step tutorial here it s in russian but there are plenty of photos for you to work out what to do on this website you can find some historical information about traditional russian dolls unfortunately the text is in russian and the translation function does not do a good job

folder would be easy to use and would be useful after using it for less than two months i have to say that i am surprised at how much i enjoy using it and how really useful the folder turned out to be

september 2013 artist trading card swap i am so excited i have joined a first ever textile artist trading card swap ran by ali from very berry handmade do you know much about atc well i did not know about it too until just recently according to a wikipedia article atcs are minuter works of art produced in various media the cards are usually traded or exchanged you can read more about the atc and the swap on very berry handmade blog the rules of this swap are quite simple theme autumn the card must be 6 4cm by 8 9cm the card must be predominantly textile the back of the card must show some basic information about the artist it is a secret swap i know who my partner is and i have to keep it a secret my head is full of different ideas so let the creative process begin posted by larisa at 00 35 no comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels atc swap saturday 21 september 2013 work in progress i am stuck i am stuck totally and absolutely i thought that by this time i would be able to show you my new creation and would switch my attention on to something new and exciting but i am still trying to finish the bags for herbs as you probably know i create my own patterns and designs and sometimes it takes me more time to finish the project than expected same thing happened to me this time around the sketches were done easily i sketched most of the herbs straight on to fabric stitching did not take long either after all the embroidery patterns were finished i was not happy with calendula the leaves were too big and too bare compare to the flower so i had to fix it somehow it took me about ten attempts until i was happy with the result luckily i did not have to redo the entire stitching just the leaves then came the time to sew the bags i got stuck again because of miscalculating the width of the binding after some cutting and sewing i realised the mistake i made the seam ripper was very useful at this time and helped me a bit to reduce the amount of frustration i had by this point i wish there were more hours in a day so i could sit and enjoy my stitching or have enough time to get frustrated calm down and finish all the work in one day but i have only a limited amount of time that i can dedicate to my sewing adventures so i have to stay positive and keep on trying the good thing is that when i was still little and tried sewing had to do it at school i never had enough patience if there were any challenges with the work i simply left it crooked or unfinished but not this time though have a lovely day and keep frustration at bay posted by larisa at 21 54 no comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels work in progress saturday 14 september 2013 work in progress calendula yarrow herbs herbs and more herbs just a sneak peek at what i am working on i am stepping outside my comfort zone by using different embroidery stitches combined together in order to create the pictures of the plants as you can see i am using more colours than ever in my stitching i love the warmth of yellowish orange calendula in combination with muted green leaves yarrow calendula as i mentioned in this post i am not going to stop at just one bag i am making a few a few for my dry herb that i can t wait to fill the bags with have a great weekend everybody posted by larisa at 01 12

this project is proving to be challenging i spent so much time trying to find the right fabric for the lining and pockets i had a countless number of combinations but none of them felt right some

unexpected gifts that caused some pleasant distractions that i mentioned some time ago i was very lucky to get a gift from a friend of mine who works in a bridal boutique she gave me a huge bag full of fabric scraps not just any fabric but beautiful delicate fabrics that wedding dresses are made of satin silk georgette tulle and lace they throw them away our living room turned into a beautiful mess once i emptied the content of the bag on the floor my mind went spinning roses purses bags more roses beautiful mess that inspires me fills my head with ideas now you can see why i got distracted for almost three days in a row i just kept folding and rearranging these bits and pieces of fabrics and lace dreaming away and sketching what i could do these are just a few beautiful roses that i made in a matter of a few minutes after i spent almost three days just rearranging the scraps and looking at them the roses can be used as a decoration for a purse or a bag they can be turned into brooches hair clips hair band decorations or can even be made into a necklace for now i will just keep making them and storing them in a vase my boys thought they were meringues when they saw them on the dining table in the vase how funny posted by larisa at 05 07 no comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels cute accessories fabric scraps fabric stash monday 22 july 2013 fabric folder sailing away i am sailing away with a bunch of little pirates they are so handsome and full of fun the little pirates come from belle boo fabric called pirate games have you seen it it is absolutely and totally cute here is a fabric folder for boys the pattern i used is the same as the one i made for the folder for girls it features four pockets for books notepads or some papers and a pocket for a pen as you can see i really got carried away with my favourite running stitch and got lost in a myriad of tiny stitches it was so much fun just drawing on fabric and then filling it all in with red and brown threads when i finished the folder for girls i felt a bit sad because the folder did not have any elements done by hand stitching neither it had applique elements so i made sure that this one had it all i love the tiny boat with the anchor and the seagulls flying away i even made a small tag with scraps of fabric just for fun it can be used as a bookmark i think how cute it the wind spinner made with the same fabric as the insides of the pockets i still have two more fabrics woodland walk and ava and friends by belle boo that i already
