A Treasure book

Reader's Digest Complete Guide to Sewing
(in portuguese)

Has it ever happened to you to have a book in your hand and you dont buy it at the very moment. Then, after a while, you regret it and never find it again.

That is an awful feeling and ever since, I have been searching for this book.

Today, I was lucky enough to have discovered. It laid there on the table, the only book there as if it was waiting for me to purchase.

Now I have a treasure book. So next time, I find a good book, no thinking twice!!!

 Buy or else you could never find it again.

Lisbon - Sunday afternoon

This photo was taken on a Sunday afternoon.

After months of rain and cloudy weather, the sun finally came....Beautiful day!

Even though it was a cold and windy day, still everyone was out for a ride.

Seems like spring is heading its way.

After a break, back to patchwork

New phone covers

Phonecover is useful and pratical. It protects your phone and makes it more attractive, especially with beautiful fabric colours!

So, with one patchwork style, I made two patchwork phonecovers.

One is green and the other is purple.

Size: 4inches x 5inches

Fabrics: felt and  popline

Check out this lovely site, which is a very friendly and helpful site to all Etsy sellers:

Karen with her friendly words of:  "pretty please with cherries on top", I accepted and was put on the Hot Seat!

She has lots of more interesting and exciting ideas coming...

You might just be the next person on the Hot seat!

Beware hahahhaha!

Purple patchwork scarf

The purple flannel fabric with the dotted fabric is very cute.

I have been thinking of the style and have decided on this pattern.

Purple is really a very attractive colour and looks good on anyone!

Two styles to choose from. Just turn and tuck and see which side suits what you wear!

I love using flannel fabric because it is so soft and warm.

Dotted fabrics

Dotted fabrics are cool and matches any other one colour fabrics.

These are combination of fabrics for my next items.

Blue dotted and purple dotted cotton fabrics.

Blue and purple flannel fabrics.

Patchwork scarf - Soff

A soft baby blue color scarf around your neck is the best neck warmer during cold weather.

This scarf has some patchwork design and is also double sided usage.

Just turn around and tuck the end through the opening!

It is very practical and simple and lovely.

Size: 5inches x 30inches

Red scarf - neck warmer

Another patchwork scarf.

This one has an opening that enables you to secure the scarf around your neck and keep it warm.

The pattern is different and the is also a double-sided usage.

Just turn around and secure through the opening and there you have a different style.

Red Scarf

Red has always been a very attractive colour. I made this red scarf using flannel fabric because it is so soft and gentle. The red pattern fabric is made from popline.

This scarf is short measuring (5inches x 28inches) just to cover the neck. You can also secure the scarf using a beautiful brooch. It is pratical and simple. Besides, it is two-sided usage. Therefore, you can choose either red or brown or turn it anyway you like.

Cute Bag

Decided to make a bigger bag. Something different from the other items previously posted.

This bag is casual and the colours are beautifully matched.

I have used various types of fabrics like felt and flannel. The inside fabric will be popline.

The colours are light grey, red and dark grey!
