Alcune settimane fa.. Probabilmente è più corretto dire mesi fa, ho scoperto una nuova ‘bancarella’ di stoffe al mercato, non si tratta di stoffe d’abbigliamento ma d’arredamento. Per lo più cotoni e lini da tovaglia, anche in comodissime varianti antimacchia. Insomma, mi sono letteralmente innamorata di questo cotone ecru con una bellissima stampa a farfalle. Nonostante si trattasse di […]
New baby born in town 🙂 It’s time for a little present. It’s a girl, so happy, I really love little girl stuffs!! When the first of my school friends had a baby I worked for months on the present. I bought a lot of small useful things, some for her, some for the baby, […]
Some posts ago I’ve told you about these lovely Toy Patterns I’ve found. Now is time to introduce you my striped bunny!I’ve done it as a present for the new son of a friend. Love the excuse! Some time ago I’ve done pillows with cherry seeds loving the results so, I’ve use the same tecnique […]
I found this book at the newsstand of the train station, just before one of my weekend travel to home. I have saw the cover, loved it, bought it and never regret. It is like a DIY book must be: simple, complete, easy to read and full of photos and ideas. One flaw, if you want: it is all […]
Make a pillowcase is one of the first thing you do once you have a sewing machine. Maybe because it’s simple, but also because it is something that can help you change things and spaces. I’ve done pillows for garden and balcony, for sofa or bed. I’ve filled them with plumage, padding, cherry seeds, polystyrene. Maybe […]
Non so se capita anche a voi ma a me piace personalizzare i regali, il bello quando si fa un ‘cadò’ 🙂 non è proprio il ‘pensiero’? Ok, meglio, non dovrebbe essere proprio il pensiero? Quando ho tempo amo riflettere sui regali, trovare la cosa giusta o, perchè no, farla! Ma non è sempre così […]
This post is about something I really love: making present! Present is not just a ‘thing’ but also the ‘think’. When you make a present you think about someone, about what he or she would like. If I have enough time I love thinking about present, looking round for the perfect gift or maybe doing it. Unfortunately we […]
Last monday I was on a business trip and in my hotel I found this lovely and really, really basic ‘sewing kit’. So I start thinking about my perfect sewing kit and.. her I am! Basic – sewing kit: centimeter, scissors, pins, needle, thread (same colours of the fabric), sewing machine, seam ripper, thimble, tailor’s […]
Siguiendo el hilo” is a book I really love, there are some great projects, simply explained (in Spanish). It was the book when I found my first “no visible stitches on the front” bag pattern. I was so excited that I sewed 4 identical bags 🙂 There are no photo-tutorial on the book, everithing is explained […]
Last Xmas I was looking for a gift for the daughter of some friends. I found this lovely pile fabric in a perfect ‘girly’ pink and I cannot resist. I bought it! Now, I’m not sure if these are the correct sizes for a baby blanket but my was 80cm x 100cm (approximately 31.50 x […]
