Shop news

October is here and there are some new coin purses in my shop - made from butter soft vegan leather, with free foot floral embroidery and lined with cheerful cotton prints. They close with a metallic zipper and have an interior slip pocket for a few cards or some coupons.

These purses are now available in my Etsy shop.

Back to school!

September is time for children to go back to school and for their mama to have more time for sewing :-)

So here they are, september news in my shop:

For all your daily walks around town, here are two messenger bags in super soft vegan leather, handmade embroidery and adjustable shoulder strap. The bag has many pockets; exterior zipper pocket plus interior pockets - one with a flap for your phone, small slip pockets for tissues, a small notebook (am I the only one who still uses paper?) and pens plus a swivel hook for keys.

While working with vegan leather, I tried out a small zipper pouch and here are the results.

And for those who think small is beautiful and tiny is downright awesome, here are five more fabric brooches.

May your September be warm and sunny!

Nazaj v šolo! 

Ko gredo otroci septembra nazaj v šolo, ima mama končno več časa za šivanje... Tule so rezultati zadnjih dveh tednov, zdaj na voljo v trgovini. Lep sončen september vam želim!

Sprrrrrriiiiiiiiing!

After I posted my last story about learning how to crochet again, the flu season came around and between nursing my children and myself for weeks, everything had to be put on hold...

But I am back, with some fresh, colourful items in my shop, which is better than a vitamin shot as far as I am concerned.

new Pippa bag with crochet flowers

First I finished the bag I started working on before I fell ill - it is a small shoulder bag Pippa, adorned with freshly picked crochet flowers. It felt strange to pick up my work after a month's pause, I am not yet sure what to think of it but as every new thing it needs time to set in. I have made some new, vibrant crochet flowers in the meantime and I am determined to give it another try.

And last week, to my great surprise, one of Loddelina items made it to Etsy's front page! Features of this kind have been few and far between so I was delighted to see how much attention little coin purse got afterwards, there were tons of hearts and shop views. So many in fact that I decided to make more of this reverse star applique design - and here they are, four new coin purses in my shop since last night.

I wish you all a great week ahead!

Pomlad!

Kmalu po moji zadnji objavi nas je ujela epidemija gripe in ko sem končno pozdravila sebe in otroka, je bil naokrog ves mesec. Zdaj sem spet v formi, z novimi pisanimi torbicami v trgovini. Najprej sem dokončala torbico Pippa, okrašeno z mojimi kvačkanimi rožicami - hecno, po enomesečni prekinitvi mi prvotna ideja nekako ni več sedla v srce, a za prvi poskus bo v redu, čaka me še cel kup novo nakvačkanih rožic in odločena sem, da bom poskusila še enkrat.

Zadnji teden pa se je zgodil manjši čudež, moja mala denarnica z zvezdo je prišla na Etsyjevo prvo stran, kar se ni pripetilo že celo večnost, zato sem še toliko bolj vesela vseh srčkov in obiskov trgovine, ki so sledili. Odločila sem se, da hitro zašijem še nekaj novih barvnih inačic zvezde in zdaj so tukaj, v moji trgovini.

Lep teden želim vsem skupaj!

New coin purses and a magazine feature

This week I have introduced new and improved coin purses to my shop. They are very practical little zippered pouches, perfect for your change and credit cards; 11 cm (4.5") wide, 10 cm (4") tall and 2.5 cm (1") deep with a handy split ring to attach them to the inside if your purse or to use as a key ornament. So far there are four coin purses in the shop, mostly with embroidery and lots of decorative lace and trims, but I will add more in the coming weeks.

And Loddelina was featured in the new, February edition of Slovenian monthly magazine for women, Vse za žensko. We did the interview over e-mails and my husband took the cover portrait of me sitting in my new sewing space (don't worry, it doesn't stay this neat for long...)

Ta teden sem v trgovino dodala štiri nove denarnice, majhne praktične torbice na zadrgo, široke 11 in visoke 10 centimetrov, z 2.5 cm globokim dnom. Vsaka ima tudi kovinsko zanko, s katero lahko denarnico pripnemo v notranjost torbice ali jo uporabimo kot obesek za ključe. 

V novi, februarski številki revije Vse za žensko je objavljena zgodba o Loddelini, intervju pa sem opravila kar prek mejlov. Za to priložnost me je mož slikal v mojem novem šivalnem kotičku (ki nikoli ne ostane tako lepo pospravljen za dolgo...)
