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.
Samya :)

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 :)

Aprons and Knitted Borders.

Hello everyone and a happy Monday!  I hope your weekend was relaxing and fruitful.  Today, I want to share my two new aprons.  I bought this fabric from Jo-Anne's Fabric a while back, with no plan on what to do with this beautiful fabric.  Last week, I bought some cotton yarn to match, and in one of my old books I found some directions on how to knit a border.  I am not a knitter by any means.  Alas, I knitted two borders for this beautiful fabric and the end result were these aprons with a knitted borders.

Have a look.  I hope you like it!


 It looks a bit tailored





This apron is  Sold









Still available.


The two knitted borders


Have a wonderful Monday!!


Lots of love,

Samya :-)
