I think I have talked about my inspiration sources earlier already, and about my love for old and reused fabrics too. These two often go together: I might have a piece of fabric which colors or patterns give me an idea for a bag or pouch, and in many cases I end up using the fabric as a part of my creation too.
I found this pretty flowered fabric last week in a local thrift shop and fell in love immediately. It has sort of 90s feel to it even the flowers are timeless; maybe it's the blue background. Nevertheless I love it.
And as soon as I spotted the fabric I saw the bag I wanted to make. It's happened before too, and it just thrills me every time. This bag is colorfully flowered and as said, the lining is that inspirational flora. I also found an vintage button for closing and oh, biased or otherwise: I love it.
Happy new week!
Yours,
Mia

That fabric is beautiful Mia.wWhen I first looked I thought it was little watercolours, so pretty.I am a blue girl as you know ;0) As for the bag...your inspiration has created something quite gorgeous (as always).
Have a sunny week, we had the hottest day of the year here yesterday, it reached 35oc in my garden and it was a bit TOO hot. Thunderstorms are threatening now!

Thank you, Anne!
I'll definitely be looking for new fabrics, as it's just wonderful to wash them and let them try outside, a bliss after long winter.
Happy after-Midsummer-week :) to you!

Hello Teje,
I haven't seen anything like that either! It was a curtain, and I wished there would have been more than one so I could have been able to use them as a curtains to my kitchen. No such luck so my customers will be enjoying it instead!
Have a great week, and oh, it's getting very hot and pretty here too!
Yours,
Mia
