Little bag person

I have been sewing some clothes and some ... bags.

I'll soon post the clothing items here also, but allow me to start with the smaller pieces.

A Super simple handbag with bamboo handles. Actually, sewing the handles was the most tricky part for me since this was my very first experience with pre-made handles like these.

The outer layer has a part with print fabric and a part with regular white cotton fabric. That's due to a shortage of the print material. (Found a small piece in the fabric shop and it wasnt big enough sadly)
Inside is dark blue and has a 14x16 cm pocket with a loop for a crab hook keychain holder. (For fastening our keychains to it to avoid them getting lost between the contents of the bag)

The second bag has handles that look a bit more familiar to most people. Since the smooth ones the previous bag had were a surprise to me also. I had only seen the second kind of round handles before.
This Bag is made of a thicker printed cotton with a flower motif and a light green cotton lining. Pockets the same as on the previous bag, but the depth of the bag is a bit bigger.

And the same bag while just made and empty


And from the remaining fabric I created this little bean shaped handbag. The inside has two 8x16 cm pockets with loops on both pockets. The bag strap is removable since i used simple crab hooks for attaching them to the bag. A small fabric flower brooch made of the lining fabric adds a bit of a lively touch to the bag. The piping that follows the contours of the bags front and back pieces is filled with a thin corset piping that has been folded in half and sown together to prevent it from unfolding.


I still have one more hoop bag in the works and I have fabric for a navy-white striped small bean bag prepared. :)

Second blog

Hi all.

I have decided to make another blog. Which is focused on BJD/Dollfies. I just recently got one and I've made a few items for her already and I decided I wanted to share my doll adventures with others. But I dont want to cover this blog with doll stuff, so I made a separate one instead.

You can find the link to the blog on the link collection on the right. :)

Clothing lineup

I have stocked up quite a pile of clothes that I havent shared with you yet. We managed to get out and take photos of most of them, but some are still waiting to be captured on a photo.

So. Without much chatter, let's begin.

First off a dress and a skirt made of the same fabric.
The fabric is very nice and cool. Perfect for hot summer days.

Next is a set of tops I made to test out a few patterns I had drawn to make a lolita dress+blouse set. The top layer has a shirred area on the back and an invisible zipper on the side.
This is the lower layer. It's made of thin cotton jersey and it's very soft. The pattern worked well for this piece, but on the final item, I had to leave some extra width to the pattern to make it fit.

Next is a dress I made for my graduation ceremony. I got the material from a teacher and I've still got a looot of it left.
I wore it with the black crop jacket I posted here a while ago (the one with the tutorial).

Next are the things I've made for my sister. The first two are tops I made for her to wear when she needed them.
This one is slightly influenced by punk style and a Korean drama heroine played by Rainie Yang. The material is thin cotton jersey in grey and purple.

Now, this is a set of a high waisted pencil skirt- that used to be high waisted pants- and a jacket. Soft and warm cotton fabric, lined with black polyester lining.


And last but not least, the final project of my school. A coat I designed with my sister.
The knit collar and sleeves are attached to the coat. The lining is a black viscose lining. Coat fabric is woollen with a hint of acrylic fibres.

As I mentioned, I still have a few pieces of clothing to show you and without no doubt, by the time I get to it, there will be even more.

Jewellery lineup

I have been making some more simple earrings and necklaces. Mostly as presents or for myself for daily wear.

Photos have arrived!

We finally got the photos from the fashion show~!
But they aren't that great =_= nyoron~

I'll share the group photos with you anyway.

Glam Rock is Back- musical instruments edition:The items I made for the musical team are:
Red dress
Red-white top, Jeans decoration with lace
Sparkly black mens bodysuit thing (no idea what to call that monster XD)
White latex double circle skirt and underskirt.
White Latex mens pants.

Glam Rock is Back - gold edition:The items I made for the Golden team are:
Golden leggings x 3
Pattern for the corset and skirt (far left)
Draped dress (second from right) and it's underskirt

There were a lot of things I would have wanted to make differently, but since we only had about one day per item. So we couldn't afford to concentrate on specifics much. I do not regret taking part of the show. It was interesting and made me think faster.

Other updates:

I got a place where I'll be working for a month~ Our school requires that the students spend a month working at a tailor atelier. Me and a classmate of mine decided to try our luck and apply to the atelier of The Estonian Opera house ( named 'Estonia') And we got accepted! I'm going to be working on female clothing and my buddy will be working on mens clothes. It's most likely that we'll only do fixing jobs or fittings, since they dont seem to have new costumes to make.
The work period starts on May 24-th, my 21-st birthday. I'm considering taking a cake along.
