Playing with fabrics

Yeah, I was bored the other day and cut fabric squares about 5 x 5 cm thinking about doing some patchwork. (click to enlarge)

Then I remembered that I must make a pencil case for the winner of my giveaway (enter if you haven't already, before time runs out!) and I decided to make one using this technique!

Valentine's earrings

Today I made this earrings following this tutorial (thanks Jo!) .


aretes_origami


I must say that was a coincidence that I had the paper because it's very difficult to get it. Here in Mexico is almost impossible! but I have some contacs, you know...jujuju >D. Well, the paper is just beautiful as expensive. If you want to know more about this great paper, click here.

well.... later I was thinking about make more earrings... but this time with fabric!

So, I drew a heart in two pieces of fabric (about 5 cm each side)

and I sewed it attaching a little ribbon in the top, then turned it out and filled it with stuffing.

aretes_tela2

It's easy!

aretes_tela3

maybe they're a little big? (I like small earrings)

I hope this is clear ^^u .You know, I'm not sure if my english is correct (you can leave a comment if you have questions! or corrections...)

Little pouch and little presents

I made this little pouch for my sister, who loves rabbits.




And finish the fabric bags I mentioned in a previous post. I filled them with some candies.



these bags are for an orphanage's children. My aunt told me about them and she's organizing a toy's donation with her friends. But what kind of Christmas would be without candies? When I was a child, the candies were one of the best gifts I had received. Hope they like this little present ^^.

In other news, I'm going to travel for vacations with my family and I'll be back in january 6th, so this is a little good bye!

I can only wish you a MERRY Christmas and hope you have a nice time with your family and beloved persons! n_n

See you!

My first patchwork

I just finished this patchwork furoshiki following this mairuru's tutorial. I've never did nothing with patchwork but I wanted do something and here is it.

But what is a furoshiki?
Is a square of fabric about 50-60 cms and can be used in many ways.I use it as a lunchbox and when I go to the grocery store for few things. Here an example:
Put the things you want to wrap on the furoshiki's center

Then do this


and the other side
and finally tie up the ends with double knot

Here a page with other examples.This is a great idea for use fabric instead of plastic! PLEASE try it!
Thanks Mairuru for this tutorial ^_^
Sorry if my english wasn't correct.

Jealous Cat

the past few days,I made these cat collars with cotton fabric.

Two was for my boyfriend's cats,choco and moky. I stitched a bells on them because they love it and also I embroidered their names.I hope they like it ^^


I made one with ribbon for Minimiu, my cat who goes crazy with bells.She seems to like it n_n

but somebody wasn't happy....

I didn't made one for her (Pelos) because she's always rubbing on the dirty earth and besides is very naughty!! Maybe later, if she behaves. ¬¬x

Have a good day ^^
