New retro treasures

The holidays are over and we have arrived back home. I spent my holiday going to flee markets and looking for cool retro fabrics and other materials. I found lots of amazing fabrics that are just inviting to turn them into lovely clothing, bags or accessories. I haven’t been able to start doing anything yet, as my luggage got lost on our flight back home. It took days until we heard anything about it and I got terribly worried that my beautiful fabrics got lost for good. Finally yesterday I got the luggage back. Before I start making anything out of them, I have to share few of those gorgeous prints with you. Very brown and yellow, my taste these days. ;)

p.s. I am so happy I found that favorite bunny fabric of mine in brown. I already have million of ideas what to do with that.. What do you think?

Gardening with style

My sister loves gardening. Every spring she starts planning her summer plantations with enthusiasm. Last year she was telling me how she would love to have a gardening bag for her tools and seeds to take with her in the garden. Interesting idea, I thought. So, with some help from her, I made my version of a gardening bag. It has wide pockets on the sides, where she can fit her gardening tools and the bag itself is supported with infacing to keep the bag firm. The fabric is green cotton with white flowery print from a vintage curtain. Truly a bag for a gardener with style.
