This is a simple little bag in recycled curtain fabric that I sewed together without a pattern, but with inspiration from Maria. I loooove this fabric, because I looove roses and brown is one of my favorite colours! Did you know? The lining is the same pattern as the outside; which makes it sturdy and […]

I sew with thrifted fabrics, felt old wool sweaters for toys and use a lot of old items for new purposes!
White arm chair
Comfort is the Studio Friday theme today. I’m the kind of girl that loves to stay at home. To have a home, with a bed, a nice sofa, and food in the kitchen, that is comfort to be. I don’t mind traveling, as long as I know I have my home to land in afterwards. […]
Pink bags
Is it hot in here? Nah, it must be me. I’m not crafting anything right now, I’m stationed in the sofa with tea and glasses of water and paper napkins. I’ve seen an episode of Ophra with Jon Bon Jovi giving her 1 million and surfed for a while, but I need to get back […]
Retro style recycled fabric bag
A first try at a little bag! Ugly lining from moms stash and cool retro fabric that I bought second hand maybe two years ago. It used to be a curtain, now it is not. Now it is a retro style recycled fabric bag! Related PostsA day in a market stall Recycled Wool Owl & […]
Cat Softies for Everyone
In the begining of the summer I made lots of small cats from a pattern I created – do you remember them? Here they are again, some of them still hanging out in my book shelf: Why are they still living with me? They want to explore the world! What are you waiting for? Don’t […]
Sewing Stool with new fabric
What do you get when you add a piece of new fabric (in a delicious rose pattern) with a thrifted sad looking stool (with a sewing box inside) from a flea market? My answer is that you get a beautiful and comfortable sewing stool that you can both look at and sit on without pain. […]
How to Sew a Cat Bed
When we brought Smilla the cat home the first time I realized that we didn’t have a bed for her. We got the climbing pole, the cage, the food, the toilet, the sand, a comb, the grass and a bowl to grow it in, toys, the cat and even cat candy… But no basket! It […]
Design market – Preparations
Going to the Design market was a very quick decision. I didn’t think, afraid I might have hesitated to much. I just e-mailed the girl that organize it and asked if there where any tables left for me to claim – and it was. And one week to go before it started! Not much time […]
Lill-Klas & Stor-Klas
Susan, do you remember the wool cap I bought last year when we thrifted in Stockholm? I thought it might be a felted bag, but it turned out it wanted to be something else: Firt it was this one, a chubby little bear that I call Lill-Klas (little Klas). I really like how he turned […]
The Lost Knob
Wanna view a painting and repair project of mine? Okay, here it is: Bought summer 2004, scraped this autumn and painted last month. The fun part was the scraping, but it was quite dark and we made a mess on this little chest of drawers. Scraped a wee bit more than we should have. And […]
Time for bed
A couple of weeks ago I sewed together some pink fabric and made four pillow cases! This weekend it was time to make the matching shabby chic duvet covers. I used second hand bed fabric as material, so the whole project was about 65 SEK (about 9 dollars) for two duvet covers. The material was […]
