Gift wrap store

Something to put all gift wrap paper in, to prevent it from disappearing, or from rolling off the shelf as soon as you open the closet door.
I used remnants from two different fabrics that I made pillow cases from earlier. Cut them into 10 cm squares and sewed them together, 10 in each row, before creating one large piece of squares. I used an interior fabric to give more stability to the cylinder and I quilted the interior and exterior together. The bottom is also made of two fabrics, but not quilted. At the top, I just folded down the edge, sewed around it (twice) and then made a strap. A pocket was added to put small things in.
It turned out pretty well, but if I'll make another one, I'll definately make the cylinder lower, so that you can see what's inside.
Fabric from Stoff&Stil.

Labels

I ordered some labels to put on the things I make. They really turned out great and I'm so happy with them. They're even nicer on the back side, though (where yellow is the dominating color) , so when I've sewn 100 things and used them all up, I'll order some with yellow background and grey text instead ;-). 

One more

I made another toiletry bag in oilcloth with cotton fabric on the inside. The corners are a bit tricky to sew, but overall it went quite well. (oilcloth from webshop (?) and cotton fabric from the 80s (unused)). I used the same pattern as for the red toiletry bag I made earlier (from "med nål och tråd").

Christmas presents

I thought about making a few Christmas gifts myself this year. (Sewing, knitting etc.) And to try to make them from things I already have at home (or from things I by second hand).

This is the first one. It's a bag store and I found the instructions at this place: http://saidosdaconcha.blogspot.com/2009/10/scrap-buster-tutorial-scrappy-carrier.html. Made from scraps I found in my closet. Really fun and easy to make.

Privious creations: baskets

Great for keeping scarves and mittens in, or anything that needs its own place. The fabric is from IKEA (quite thick) and I found the pattern and tutorial at this place (in Swedish): http://mednalochtrad.blogspot.com/2008/09/produktiv-dag-med-tygkorgar-broderier.html

Privious creations: Birdie Sling Bag 2

This green birdie sling bag was a gift for my grandmother. Same pattern as the other bag (see post below). Fabric by Amy Butler (from quilthome.com)

Privious creations: Mr Frog

Cute and cuddly :-). Fabric from Stoff&Stil. Pattern bought on eBay (Contained a small sketch of the frog, but you had to draw the pattern yourself. A bit tricky.).

Baby romper made for M in size 77. Fabric bought on eBay, but I think it's originally from IKEA. Pattern from the book "BabyGarderoben" from 1982.
