🔸 staying at home, to work, to create, to relax

🔸
staying at home, to work, to create, to relax and recoup has made me focus on comfort more than fashion. I would be the last person to know about fashion and style anyway. Ask my mum, who would love to see me in something pink 😆
Yesterday I finished a matching set made from a thrifted 3 yard fabric. Its super comfy so i spent my saturday in it. no wannabe photoshoot today, just a reminder to prioritize self care more often.

we took the rain with us to Kelowna last weekend, but that didn't stop us from hiking, exploring brunch spots, wine tasting, walking around the lake, back country driving and breaking into my new colorful belt bag.
it holds all the essentials plus a small sketchbook, pen case and a lot of sass!

self drafted belt bag. 🔸🔸🔸 I've been slow

self drafted belt bag.
🔸🔸🔸
I've been slowly transitioning towards more functional pieces for myself. I am not a person who'd own lots of clothes, i like organization, upcycling, targetted solutions. Hence i decided to stop sewing clothes and learn to make bags. I used an old belt for this project and some left over fabrics from past projects (you can see the colors i lean towards) 🔸🔸🔸
skills i learnt but have yet to master: 🔸how to construct 3D products
🔸to design pattern pieces that would fit together. This was hard!!! But YouTube and other makers help! 🔸bias binding the interiors. OMG i see why people love it but it is tedious. 🔸hand stitch the bias binding. My least fave part and most messy cause i don't have patience. 🔸 appreciating all handmade bag makers! 🙌
🔸
I also rushed this one to finish so i could use it for our Kelowna trip! ☺️
