Autumn inspirations

  Japanese anemone - I love their delicate stems and simple blossoms

 Shiny, gorgeous wild chestnuts - I used to dye my hair that colour back in highschool :)

The prettiest side of rain

Weekend!

I listed another bag today, it is a remake of my red city tote with rainbow stripes that got sold recently (thank you, cousin :) - a roomy, sturdy everyday bag, stylish book tote or whatever you want it to be...

This weekend I won't have much time for sewing - first official weekend of autumn is going to be exceptionally sunny and warm so my family will try to make the most of it (chilly, foggy mornings are reminding us that winter is not that far away...).

I wish you all a great weekend, see you soon!

Some of my Etsy favourites

It's funny how I am attracted to fresh spring colours and summer-at-the-beach theme on the brink of autumn...

New in my shop

It was about time - another hipster bag is now available in my shop!

Made from lovely cream white basque cloth with woven stripes in rusty red, slate grey and taupe brown. I cut out some leaves from the same cloth and appliqued them in front and back. The bag has all the usual features: back zippered pocket, interior slip pocket for a phone and a handy D-ring for attaching keys.

Leaves are my favourite autumn inspiration and I intend to make more bags, especially zippered pouches, with leaves appliques. Stay tooned!
