Gear Up...

... tote is a pattern of Sweetwater.

It's a tote, which I have planned to make for a years... at least two?...if I remember right;o)

If you want to sew your own Gear Up tote, you'll find the pdf pattern at Sweetwater's Etsy shop here.

Also the fabrics, which I used are all by Sweetwater, from the collection called Reunion. The outer fabric is canvas, other fabrics are normal cotton fabrics.

I really love the fabric with year prints!

And I adore the ruffle on the outer pocket!!!

Sisävanuna on kiinnisilitettävä vanu,

Vilene H 630.

Laukku ei ole kovin tukeva. Enemmillä tikkauksilla siitä olisi tullut tukevampi... mutta tämä kelpaa nyt kevätlaukuksi;o)

Tote measures
35 cm x 29 cm x 8 cm

The one thing, which I don't like so much...

 ... is the inside pocket, which extends all the way up to the bottom seam. I presume that it's a little bit unpractical!

Lisäksi vielä mietityttää, laittaisinko magneettilukon kassin reunaan...

ILOISTA ... HAPPY.... Sunday!!!!

Ps. Olen saanut postauksiin paljon ihania ja kannustavia noreply-kommentteja, joihin en pysty sähköpostin kautta vastaamaan, JOTEN tässä ja nyt haluan KIITTÄÄ niistä!!!
Kommentit ovat aina tervetulleita;o)
KIITOS!!!

Looking for Happiness...

... a make-up purse inspired by Tilkunviilaaja.

I have long admired for Tilkunviilaaja's purses. Finally I also managed to sew that kind of purse!

...ihan kissan karvoineen kaikkineen;o)

The purse is VERY scrappy and it's quilted densely with Gütermann SULKY cotton 30, col. 4019 - it's variable-color yarn. 

A following picture you can see how the color changes... a little bit...

Stitchings are about one centimeter at a distance from each other.

Tukimateriaalina käytin hyvin ohutta polyestervanua ja vuosikerta - verkkarikangasta (90 -luvun alkupuolelta?).

Koetilkun tikkasin pelkällä verkkarikankaalla, mutta se tuntui liian ohuelta...

I even remembered to sew an inside pocket...;o) it's a piece of old curtain... another bite of spirit of recycling!

Sisätaskun tekaisin vanhasta verhokapan helmasta

(= vältyinpä taskunsuun päärmeen ompelulta, hih-hih)

 Here is the back of the purse. There is few piece of selvages...

Tilkunviilaaja usually gives a name to her purses... so did I!

Because it is a gift for my niece, who is enthusiastic to grow vegetables, summer flowers, etc. And she is dreaming of moving to the countryside... and black-white fabric, which I used, is from collection of Marimekko called 'Onnea etsimässä'.

So this purse is called:

"Onnellisuutta etsimässä"

leveys - 22 cm

korkeus - 18 cm

pohjan leveys - 6 cm

a HAPPY WEEK to YOU!!!
