Painting with Antonio

Yesterday I did a little painting with my son Antonio who is 4. He loves to draw and paint so I thought it might be fun to paint something with him.


He loves drawing shapes and using lots of colours.


I love the modern feel of this painting :)

New AddressTag Holder

I machine embroidered an address tag holder from an image of my latest painting below.

I really love how it turned out and am so happy with the result!

Pillow Cover finished!

I decided to make a quick gift for my parents in law's 50th wedding anniversary. Just about the only things they decorate with are small pillows in their minimalist style home. So I thought I'd make something they could use. Here is a look at the process:


The cover is fully removable with a zipper and can be washed separately from the pillow. It is also quilted with warm n natural so it stands nicely on its own.

TOMS DIY Clutch

If you've purchased a pair of TOMS shoes you likely have one of these little bags or flags lying around. I decided that I wanted to make a small clutch out of the bag.


I also used a print I designed myself to feature on the clutch and also printed it myself. I love the combination!



This was a really easy project and I did not use a pattern for this, just made it up as I went along and used some sew-in flexi-firm for the structure. It took roughly an hour from start to finish including printing the fabric.

Easy Zip Pouch

I printed my own fabric sheet using images from Heather Ross' PRINTS book. The images printed incredibly detailed and I am so happy with it. Of course I heat set the inks with my iron before sewing.
