some more hearts

sanacopy — Thu, 01 Sep 2011 13:39:17 +0000

I took the remnants from our big sewing action and made some more hearts that will be given to breast cancer patients. Still, great idea. If you want to join, I am sure there will be an initiative nearby. And if you do not find one, start one yourself

dress like twins

sanacopy — Thu, 25 Aug 2011 14:26:22 +0000

is something I always thought of being creepy – except for real twins and only if theirs are 12 years and below. But because their is always some fabric left when I do a T-Shirt for my loved one I decided to accept a clothes match of a different kind. Only the two of us know about it

truck tarpaulin, two bags

sanacopy — Mon, 15 Aug 2011 15:17:41 +0000

after the first try sewing canvas I got from another friend a remnant of real truck trapaulin. I made a diaper bag for a friend and her newborn daughter and since some pieces were left I did a smaller bag for me.

Flowers made by IKEA, additional stuff recycled from old bags and a cagoule, both bags with zipper pockets.

green-orange dress

Two fabric, one dress. I copied an old dress again, but I am not really satisfied with the fit. But finally I understood the concept of straight grain

first try: canvas messenger bag

sanacopy — Thu, 23 Jun 2011 14:36:46 +0000

I got some canvans from a friend. It were the rest of a poster so it is a lot lighter than the material usually used for bags. But the sewing machine liked it and it hold books and netbooks whithout breaking. The flowers are a fabric I bought at IKEA, the inside fabric is a heavy linen, the carrying strap and the closures as well as the measurements are from an old army bag. It also has a zipper bag for the important stuff.

some more copies

sanacopy — Mon, 18 Apr 2011 09:18:52 +0000

last remnants of the orange and the green fabric. need to shorten the seam a little more…

copy of the design of a well loved shirt using a different pattern – works but I have to take more care of using the same quality of fabrics and still something about the armholes is not right. Still: wearable…

Burda 2/2011 – Modell 114

sanacopy — Sun, 17 Apr 2011 08:52:56 +0000

I tried again to sew with a bought pattern and found the result – though I did not even add the seam allowance – a bit to big for me. I even had to close the armholes to not let everybody watch down to my belly. Still I like the shirt.

And now I really own only the smallest remnants of the two fabrics.

relaxing exertion

sanacopy — Sun, 27 Feb 2011 09:30:22 +0000

I started yoga again and even bought my first yoga mattress. It needed a fine dress of course.

And because I got the remnants of some canvas I experimented a bit and did a small purse to take my valuables into the exercise room. I still have some bigger parts of the canvas and plan to do a bigger bag, but the idea needs to ripe a little more.

Real relaxation needs unstressed eyes. A friend opened her own yoga studio and we made some give-aways for her and her clients.
