Risurievun näpertelyt

Here is a pencase/bag which I made during last Saturday,unforfunately while I was sewing this I managed to broke my sewing machine a bit. 😅 But luckily my boyfriend also has a sewing machine so I managed to finish this bag. I got the fabric from my aunt. I shortened both of those zippers,they were a bit too long for this project. I wanted this bag to have a pocket for my smaller pens.

Here is the other shirt which I bought from the fleamarket. This upcycling project I made during this week. The shirt's original buttons were unpractical,so I sewed different buttons for their place,I used the buttons of the beige shirt from the bunny project. When I started this project I noticed that the other pocket was a bit of torn. So, I tried to fix the problem with a bit of thin denim fabric,by sewing two pieces of that extra denim for the place of the pockects. I know that they are not symmetricly sewn into place,but I tried. I probably wear this shirt something with long sleeves. But in the end I'm quite happy how it looks despite the small flaws. (Maybe at some point I will try to fix it a bit).

 I bought this shirt from a fleamarket last year. I also bought another shirt as well (I'll write about that on the next post). Anyway, I used this shirt as a material for a vest.  I used the shirt's  own buttons and button holes for this,so I didn't have to sew any buttons or other.  I finished sewing this vest yesterday. I had vest pattern, which I had saved a long time ago.  Sewing of the vest was quite easy. I really like the end result.

Here are few pairs of earrings which I made during last weeks Saturday. My favorite pairs are probably those lace ones and those with the skull beads.  With the skull earrings I used my favorite kind of beads (the skulls) and I also added old diary keys in the end of them. The wooden "beads" on the second one are actually from an old boad game. The buttons on the last pair are from the shirt which I used to make a bunny.

Here are a pair of earrings and a necklace which I made during the weekend. As the material I have used  few pieces of a lace tablecloth,thin metal wire to connect those pieces together and I also used few beads from an old necklace which I had bought from a flea market long time ago.

Here are two  bunnies which I have made using those shirts. Both of the bunnies I have sewed by hands. I didn't use my sewing machine while I made these,even though it was quite a slow process. The ideas for the bunnies and the clothess for them I found from that book. (The shirt of his back, Juliet Bawden) I still have quite a lot scrap pieces of those two shirts,so I have to figure out what I will make of those scraps. I also have few other shirts what I bought from flea market,so this will be a serie where I'm trying to figure what I will make of them. :)

Here are few decorations which I have made a few days ago. I used old Christmas cards as the material for these. I found a tutorial on Pinterest and here is the address where you can find the original tutorial.  http://www.scoutiegirl.com/tutorial-crafting-a-holiday-card-keepsake-ornament-by-nicole-of-lillyella/ I only made these decorations a bit smaller than in the original tutorial. These were fun and quick to make.
