The Antoinette,

My inspiration for this bag was France's last over-the-top queen, Marie Antoinette.

Easily one of the most famous people of her time, Marie Antoinette was the epitome of royalty in Europe. The  beginning of her career as a queen was also the beginning of her career as the ultimate fashion icon in Europe.

      Some of Marie Antoinette shoes... look at the lovely sunny colors

                                                             

     My bag clearly go well these amazing shoes :)

This bag was sold :)

Some more details... 

This bag would match everything perfectly. Ahhh, I love it. So, now I have to know........
Who are your historical fashion icons?

Look Who is Busy ? ...

Hi Everyone, I hope you all doing well,  happy, and most of all warm. 

I did not post anything on my blog for a while... is it laziness?  not really ... 

I have been busy  creating my Summer line of Aprons and hand bags on my new sewing machine. I bought a limited edition, project runway  sewing machine,  it was a present from my husband :) 

 I have been stitching constantly despite  suffering from the Flu . I have to admit, I get the flu shot every year , but this year I decided to be a rebel and not take the shot, why did I do that? I don't know... needless to say , I am paying the price now.

I have been enjoying very much making these aprons, and I made over 20 aprons all different colors. What I really adore is using summer bright  colors in the dead of winter, I Love it... it warms me up. I will be posting pics of them inthe next post, and I hope you like them. As for my bags , I will start on them in mid week, and I will show pics of them as soon as I finish each bag. I am really exited and can't wait to show you what I came up with.

Hope you enjoy what ever you do, and see you soon.

First Post in the Year 2012

Well, I made that white crochet border, and yet i am not fully happy with it...

So, I might use some ribbons ...

I love this border... finally...

Sometimes I really wonder, am I the only one who can't decide on what embellishments to use, and where to put it on the garment or a bag?  For me it all started good, the project is clear in my head, and I can't wait to cut the fabric and stitch.  I am all good and in the zone but when it comes to embellishments I just hit a wall.  I can't for the life of me decide on what goes where.  But when i see something already embellished, i know exactly what I like, and if the work is good or not.

Look at these two projects i listed above, two aprons and not enough fabric, so I decided to crochet a border. The thing is, I really sat and thought about it and I decided that pink would look absolutely lovely.  I sat yesterday and i finished it, but alas another idea came why don't I use some green, so like a trooper I opened all my crochet work and I started all over again, and I am very happy with the result.

I need to rework the white border. I am not completely happy with it, so I am just going to open it up again and add some red.  It will look better because, I am making the apron out of a summer fabric.  I wish I could just sit and whip up an idea in one single go instead of having them trickling down one idea at a time.

Well, I hope I am not the only one who faces with such challanges, because if I am, I just have to learn to live with it!


Lots of love,

Samya :)
