Skirts for My Daughters

Hi Everyone!!

I finished sewing skirts for my daughters sometime last week... the  first one was for my 8 years old daughter. It was made using Vintage cotton fabric with purple lace at the edge. It is a straight cut
pattern skirt.

The second skirt was for my 15 years old daughter.

It was a patchwork tiered long skirt made from light cotton fabric.

 Both skirts submitted as entries to the skirt week contest which was hosted by Adrianna and Susan at crafterhours. There are many more skirts shared by other sewers over at   flickr:skirt week 2012  .  Have fun and enjoy!

Happy Sewing!!

Bag for my daughter

Hi ...

I am sharing a project that I've made for my daughter early this year which I did not blog about. I used Elizabeth Hartman of Oh,Fransson! Margaret Bag pattern.

I re-size it to a smaller version to make it suitable for my daughter to used.  The inside was fully lining with small pocket which my daughter used to keep her sweet. I used medium weight home decor fabric.

Here is my daughter posing with her bag... and her bear which she used to carry any where she goes.

Happy Sewing!!

Crocheted Granny Square bag

Hi there!!

Today's post is about crocheted bag...it was a work by my daughter.  I am helping her to finished it up with the lining, button and the handle. This is how the front looks like with the button closure.

I choose to crochet the handle differently from the pattern... and this is how the back of the bag looks like.

I have similar pattern  from a Japanese crocheting book ... and if you're interested to crochet one for yourself please write to me at shaza.zain@gmail.com  For the bag pattern  above I am still in the process of writing, and testing it...maybe I will come out with a step by step instructions, till then...

Happy Crocheting!!
