First Project...

Finished, originally uploaded by ::Sardana (aka sardana_creations).

...in 2010: PJ trousers for my daughter {and even a pair for myself}. I didn't sew clothes for ages, but it was like riding a bike. Phew.

Next project is a mini quilt for DQS8 (Doll Quilt Swap #8), we are 171 participants over at Flickr from all over the world. I'm really excited to get started! More will follow.

Have a great weekend!

Linen Tags

I really love to look at these tags. Tiny-weeny backstitch and running stitch, made with loooot of love.

Love,

Where The Magic Happens

Finally re-organised my craft area! Re-arranged shelfs, drawers, desks, sorted ribbons and bias tapes by colour, unpacked cartons and re-folded fabrics! Now off to clean my flat which will take at least two another days, because there are 100 m² on two floors. Anyway, can't await to start sewing for the first time this year! More pictures on my Flickr.

I think I like it so, originally uploaded by ::Sardana (aka sardana_creations).

All neat and tidy, waiting for action.

LOVE my kawaii tray from wonderful Cybil in Alaska, she sent it along with swap parcel in our ALFALC swap group on Flickr.
Other staff just sitting in a top of a shoe carton, now easy-peasy to put all away at once. Go check notes on picture on my Flickr (just click on photo).

Ribbons, sorted by colour. Believe or not, it took few days to re-wind them all! BTW, a simple recycling idea: old card board + fabric scrap = ribbon card.

Have a wonderful week!

My Second Mini Quilt

Dec STUD, sent..., originally uploaded by sardana_creations.

or my second "big" quilt. There is a swap group on Flickr where I participated in two rounds, it's called Swap Till You Drop (fantastic title!). It's my quilt for December round, now living in a good home in the USA.

The cartwheel pattern was a fun to make. I found one tutorial but didn't understand anything, so figuring it out took me longer than making it. All fabrics are made in Austria and are very popular as national clothes. Oh, forgot to measure my quiltie.

I made binding using this wonderful tutorial from The Little Red Hen. She is my binding guru :)

I was half alive after self-poisoning {no more shrimps} as I did the binding. I didn't want to get considered as late in our swap round, so that was quite a pain. Imagine tons of unpacked cartons everywhere, half-settled craft area, aching stomach! Don't wait until the very last minute is my motto since then :) Never, never ever!

Hope you are better organised than me!

Happy/Healthy New Year!

Re-organising my craft area, don't-count-anymore-how-many-times, originally uploaded by sardana_creations.

My 2010 begun with a food poisoning, I poisoned myself on New Year's Eve! It's SO me, by the way, clumsiness at its best!

Half alive (go check the caviar picture on my Flickr), I re-organisied my new craft area. There is no space in my flat, so I took the hallway on the second floor. Looks not bad, he?
