My creative space

Today I am working on a custom order, a handbag organizer for a very special customer. She was so kind to send me a picture and detailed description of all the items she usually carries in her bag so I could design the pockets accordingly.

Here are a few pictures of work in progress: the base of organizer is linen blend canvas in taupe and the  pockets are a patchwork of pastel prints and stripes.


There is also a zippered pocket, two swivel hooks for keys and a custom embroidered quote - I freehand machine embroidered each word and then tied the loose threads in the back; a bit more work than connecting the words together in one sentence but it is worth it!



I will post pictures of finished organizer soon!

  1. Super izgleda že zdaj :)! To bi tudi jaz freehand vezenje oz mašinco. Blazno imam rada besede in super bi bilo, če bi to lahko združila z svojim ustvarjanjem. Ampak smo spet tam, jaz zmrznem pri kakih takih aparatih. Še moj mobitel se dela, da je pametnejši od mene :)

    1. Ne potrebuješ posebne mašince za vezenje, jaz vezem s svojo Bernino, samo posebno tačko sem dokupila in za prostoročno vezenje je treba spremeniti nastavitve na stroju: dolžino vboda na 0 in zobci transporta morajo biti spuščeni, da se blago ne pomika naprej, ko šivaš, temveč sama pomikaš blago sem in tja, da igla piše kar želiš.
      Blago seveda podložiš z dovolj čvrsto medvlogo, da se ne razteguje (lahko je posebna vezilna, ki se potem odtrga proč, ali navaden lepljiv centilin), in hopla, že vezeš. Tule je link do enega mojih poskusov, kjer je malo več fotogtafij:
