Remember the little pink singlet shirt thingy I posted a couple of weeks back that I sewed with a lot of help from my sewing teacher? Well since then I have sewed a couple of little things firstly with her help and then by myself!!!
The little zipper pouch in the first picture comes from Amy Karol`s Bend The Rules book and it was easy to follow and complete, so comprehensive in fact that I made another one!!!
Plus I made a little applely pin cushion since I didn`t have one!
See the cute material used for these? It all come from the wonderful Jen when she decluttered and held a garage sale in which I scored a stack of very cute (and in some cases vintage) fabric!
The material in the last picture is so cute that I intend to make an apron out of it for a child perhaps…It is just so adorable!
So these are my sewing conquests of the last couple of weeks…I didn`t get a chance to sew at all this past weekend but I am hoping to make some time this weekend! I think I shall attempt a tote bag (Then I would be able to cross sew a bag off my 101 things list!)
Any other cool links to patterns? Needs to be fairly easy for a beginner like me!

I am just a twenty something Aussie girl living in Chiba, Japan with my Japanese husband trying to make sense of the crazy Japanese world we live in! We welcomed our first son in December 2009 (Noah) and a second son in January 2011, 2 months premature (Shion). I am working hard at raising them to be confident, bilingual, happy kids!
Very Clever indeed! I love the designs on all of the fabric! I wish I could sew!
I love the purses- I’m no good at fiddly stuff.
I thought I posted this before but I can’t find my comment so maybe it disappeared? Who knows. Anyway, it’s good enough for a double post if that’s how it turns up.
http://www.craftster.org Heaps of funky stuff but head to clothing and the tutorial list. Yeah for tutorials!
The material is beautiful! I am so sorry I have been MIA but have been thinking of you = ) I have all my friends in my RSS feeds when I am unable to comment but always thinking of you all = )
Life got so busy suddenly = ) I can not sew anything, seriously, I am one of those gals who use magic tape..
Hey Lulu, those look great! I haven’t done much sewing recently – I’ve been doing my wedding invitations/planning instead! Anyway, on my blog I posted a picture of a cute little bag that I made. It didn’t take very long at all – about 1 hour if you iron everything properly – and really easy. Below is the link to the tutorial – it just takes two fat quarters of fabric and you’re done! Soooo easy!
