Time to thank the teachers

Last year I was commissioned to make some personalised pencil case as end of school gifts to teachers. They were quite a success so this year I am making some more - I use scrap fabrics, ribbons and other little pieces to make tiny landscapes, tied together with embroidery.

Thank you, teachers!

School year is almost over and for the last couple of months I have been very busy making personalised thank you presents for teachers - after I made a set of three pencil cases with applique and embroidery with a message "merci, maîtresse" (thank you, teacher) and the name of each pupil in the back, orders started coming in for more.

I enjoy going through my fabric scraps, ribbons and lace to make individual, unique fabric pictures - most are pencil cases and some smaller, card purses. Of course I have to make some for my children as well, I don't want their teachers to be left out...

After the next week I will put my Etsy shop on vacation mode over the summer - Loddelina will be back in September with new fabric and, of course, new back to school pencil cases.

I hope you have a great summer!

Hvala, učiteljica

Šolsko leto je pri koncu in za mano sta dva meseca šivanja peresnic - daril za učiteljice ob koncu leta. Kmalu po tem, ko sem zašila prve tri peresnice, personalizirane z imenom učenca, sem dobila še nova naročila in tako je nastal cel kup tekstilnih slik iz koščkov blaga, trakcev in čipk, v izdelavi katerih sem zelo uživala.

Ko bo šola zaključena in darila predana, bom šla na počitnice in čez poletje saprla Etsy trgovino, v septembru se pa spet vidimo.

Lepo poletje želim vsem!

Back to school

Summer holidays are almost over, September is coming closer and Loddelina shop has reopened - with brand new pencil cases to start the new school year with.

They are one of a kind purses with handmade applique and freefoot embroidery, inspired by endless rows of trees by the north Italian highway on our way from France to Slovenia. The purses are 22 cm (8.5") long, 8 cm (3") tall and roomy enough to hold all your writing instruments. You can also use them as cosmetic pouches or small bridesmaid's clutches!

Počitnice so skoraj pri koncu in septembra se začne novo šolsko leto, čas za novo peresnico! Peresnice so ročno povezene z motivi, ki so jih navdihnile neskončne ravne vrste dreves ob severno italijanski avtocesti na poti iz Francije v Slovenijo. Puščice so dolge 22 in visoke 8 cm, dovolj prostorne za pisala,  make up ali kot priročna večerna torbica.
