Le Petit Artiste

Finally Finished!

I have been playing around with this patter for a while now and I finially just sat my butt down to finish it.

This little artist tote is made from linen and cotton. It opens up so you can store both colouring books and pencils/markers. The pencil/marker area is made has matching colour co-ordinated slots for each coloured pencil/marker.

I think this is perfect for any petit Picasso.



It's now available for purchase in my etsy shop.

Projects - some for moi and some for you

What have I been up to recently...

Well, I have slowly gotten into baby mode and started to make a cover for the soon-to-be scrapbook for our new arrival. I used a light green linen and embroidered with purple thread:
"Baby, Belly & Us" with of course the year when she will be born...Yes you heard it hear "it's a girl".

I have also started collecting some different fabrics for a quilt I am going to make for our little bundle of joy to be. These two fabrics were the colour inspiration for the quilt. The alphabet fabric will be for the backing and the circus fabric cut into squares for the front.I am also going to play around with these colours and add them as different colour blocks. A very vintage inspired quilt.
Not only have I been busy for myself but I did add a couple of other things to the store. Two new bags. As seen in a previous post, I have a bundle of this orange 1960's bed sheet set, so I figured I would put it to good use.
Made from white crisp linen and the bed sheet with embroiderey and flower ribbon detailing, these two bags are perfect for holding books to read at the park
I also made one in a natural linen with the same detailing as the white bag.

These two totes can be found at my etsy store. More to come soon...

Just a couple of goodies...

Well as promised here are some goodies...some are newly made and some are older and did not make it to the blog until now.


Here is a custom ordered Petit Sac that someone ordered through etsy. She chose the fabric and colour and asked that the bag be dedicated for her mother. I think it turned out pretty good. It's made form linen and cotton with a vintage button for closure.


I had forgotten how much I enjoy making these bags. Definitely more to come.

This was a make-up bag I actually made a while ago and it has been sitting in a box waiting to be posted.
Some French Cafe tea towels, made from some Japanese patchwork. Yes, I did say French with Japanese fabric. Very french red, white and blue.
