Zippered Pouch

Have I become addicted to sewing? Think so. Okay presenting my first ever sewing project that has a zipper. I was scared of it. But now I know its not that scary.



It started like this. I have made a knitted pouch and tried to add a lining with a zipper to it yesterday. But half way through I realise that the zipper is smaller in size. So I decided to make this pouch. I have used the same fabric for the lining.



I love it and will be making more of these.

Luggage Tags

Since we will be travelling this month and since I always get confused while trying to spot my luggage on the conveyor belt, I made these luggage tags. I went through some tutorials to get an idea. And then made it my own way. So here they are, Ta da...
One has a strawberry applique I made using felt.
The next one has a flower applique.
I think they are extremely cute and handy. What do you think?

Summer Garden Squares

I had shown you these summer garden squares in one of my previous posts. Pattern here
Have turned them into this.

Iam planning to make more of these and take them with me to India to give as gifts.
But today Iam doing some sewing. Will post about it later. Byeeeee..

Nordstrom Bag

I made this bag as a gift for an Aunt. I wanted to try this pattern since a looong time. So when I decided to make a gift for my Aunt who loves bags, I thought why not. I have made this as an evening bag. The yarn I used has a lovely sheen to it.

Since there are no readymade bag handles available here, I decided to make a handle out of beads. I love how it has turned out. Made a long chain first and then twisted it by holding 5 or 6 layers together. Voila!!

Finished the crocheting part almost a month back. Was too lazy or maybe scared to do the lining job. Finally done with it. Have lined it with black satin because it goes with the evening bag look.

Me happy. Hope she will love it too.

Gift Bookmarks

Little one's school closes in July for summer holidays. We are going to India to spend the holidays with his maternal grandparents and paternal grandparents and great grand parents. Only me and Pranav are going now. DH might join us later. I have started making small gifts to take with us. These bookmarks were made for the purpose.


And a small one for Pranav made upon special request. He wanted one to keep in his story books. Iam sure he doesn't know why they are kept. But thats fine.
