Magazine Hanger + Blogger Swap!

 Friday.. friday.. for normal people it's a day meant for parties.. well.. not for me! Last Friday was my little sewing day. I sewed 2 things.. one as you can see is a magazine holder.. I don't read magazines really, but a month ago my dear friend Asia sent me from the United Kingdom two very interesting and colorful issues of Mollie Makes!

It takes ages to finish just one issue (I rather read books). I hate when my magazines lie arround somewhere ex. on my coffee table. Eek! Hate it - so I created a Magazine Holder which hangs on my wall, in my reading corner! :) 

 It looks better in reality.. I think! Oh.. and as I mentioned I created 2 things.. but the second one needs a special outdoor photo session! ;d

 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 Blogger Swap with Baju-Baju!

photos from Baju-Baju's blog! I couldn't make as good photos as she made!

 Look what I received from Marysia from Baju-Baju!

 It's a wonderful organiser to my bag! Well.. it was supposed to be for my bag, but firstly I don't really have a bag which it will fit.. and secondly.. It looks sooo amazing, I want to keep it in sight!

 Sooo.. actually it's my desk organiser!

 Just perfect for all things which just lie arround my desk 'with no special home' ;p What do I keep in it? Well.. my aquarelles (watercolours), notebook, pencils, pens, little sketchbook.. etc.. Just perfect for all these things! I'm sooo glad I had a swap with Marysia.. she really is a good sewer. But check it out yourself if you don't know her blog yet!

Thank you again for this wonderfull swap! And I really hope you like your little gift! :)

Vintage Blue Set + Tote

 I promise! It's the last wallet set for this month! I won't be boring you with them more! As you can see photoas are awfull.. well.. what can I say. I'm not a photograph, I'm trying my best but sometimes my camera just doesn't cooperate with me.. o.O

Vintage blue flowery fabric.. Looks better in reality..

 And a nice vintage lace.. :)

 Lovely wooden button.. wish I had more of them! :)

 And not a vintage blue lace inside the wallet. I had no idea what to put inside.. and it looked so bald! So I picked this thick blue lace :)

I really really promise It's the last one this month! Now I want to make only notebooks for my shop.. Christmas is close.. (well in mind of people who own shops!) so I have to add some good to my etsy. Hope you will like my new projects! :)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

And something super ugly now! Two days ago I had a biiig headache.. but I just couldn't like down and do nothing.. so I started to sew.. something simple.. but omg.. what a bad sewing day was that day! Eeeek! Look what a monster I created!

It's a tote for books which don't fit to my handbag when I go to school.. I really really hate it! I can't believe I made something so crappy! Ehh :( I want to make a new one soon, cuz this one is really.. really.. bad!

What do you think about it? But seriously! ;p

Sewer's Journal

 After a quite long break.. I'm going back to my lovely handmade notebooks! For the past few months, I made only a few of them, mostly private orders.. And now, the time has come to make some new journals!

This one I strted making about a week ago, but I finished it yesterday evening.. As you can see, pages look different than usually.. well.. it was an experiment! And I quite like the effect.. Inside, the pages are creamy.. but as you can see, when you look at the notebook when it is closed.. you can see a little kinda.. rainbow! :)

 It is really a lot of work with colouring pages.. but i really love doing it :) Such big satisfaction when you finish a product.. and you like it :)

 The interior is made of a super cute fabric I received from Jednoiglec. I wish I had it more! I used the last piece of it for this journal! :)

 Oh.. I didn't mention what is on the front cover.. well as you can see there is a spool.. Super simple pink spool.. I think that this notebook is just perfect for a sewer who usually has ideas at the most inapriopriate places.. and has nothing around to write them down! Well this notebook is A5 - so it will fit every bag.

I still don't know if I want to sell it! Why? Well.. I like it and maybe it will be for my little sewing projects.. ehh don't know. For now, it will stay in my basket, where I keep all journals for sale :)

Ohhh and here something funny.. Last Friday.. I painted a little cloud and some rain on my wall.. It's a simple painting.. but it looks so cute! Haha I love it. Perfect for kid's room.. yes - I'm a 21 year old woman who acts very childish.. but shhhh! Don't tell anyone.. ;p

Hope you liked this post! Can't wait t show you some treasures which I found at a flea market this weekend, and something I received from my fellow blogger. But these posts later this week.. Later!

Mysterious Doors

A looooong time ago - about 4-5 years.. I visited with my old friend Kamila Kalwaria Zebrzydowska.. we visited this place because we were taking care of a group of children from bad families.. and we were having art classes with them for few weeks.. well.. one week was for a trip.. and this photo below was made on that trip.

This photo was made by an analogue camera.. and I have developed it by myself in a darkroom :)

 Omg.. I really miss the times when me and Ann were staying late after art classes to develope some photos.. good times :) I really really miss hanging out in the darkroom :)

Taking care of childreen from 'bad' families was really a hard work.. maybe now it would be easier.. but then we were only 16.. it was really a hard work. And sometimes I really miss those little noughty kiddos :)

This photo is participating in Art Piaskownica's PhotoGame! I hope it will make a good impression! :)

Set 5 - Delicate

 I know it's getting boring.. but I have no time for sewing now, so I have to show you my older creations! :) One more set left. I hope I will find some time this weekend for my lovely sewing machine :)

Size the same as previous models.

 The interior of the vanity bag is made of canvas.. geeez I love canvas! ♥

 And I also loveloveloveeee big wooden buttons! Like the one used for this wallet :)

 Vintage lace - it's from an old dress.. very old dress :) I can't find laces like this one in shops now.. And even if I find something nice.. it's just too expensive..

 Interior of the wallet is also mafe of my lovely canvas  ♥ 

I really hope you like these sets.. It was really a hard work to create so much of them! Well of course it was super pleasant for me, but making 6 things from the same pattern is sometimes too monotonous, don't you thinkg? And because of that, it's sometimes very very.. tiring.

Today I got a lovely package from a fellow blogger. I just can't wait to show you what have I received! Ohh I just looove swaps!

Have a nice day!

Elegant Set

 These wallets are getting a bit boring, don't they? If not.. prepare for two more in few days! ;d This one was the first one I made after a loooong break of sewing wallets. It was a tes if I still remember how to create them.

The purse has the same shape as the previous ones. It has a big white lace on the front.

The wallet is also the same size and shape as the previous ones. The button is very big - and looks a bit like vintage, don't you think?

 The lace has an interesting colour.. light vintage pink :)

 And of course.. a flowery interior! I just can't stop sewing flowery things!

 And on two edges inside the wallet you can see two little white laces :)

The back is plain.. 

If some of you would like me to sew you a set like this - contact me here: marysza.fotolof@vp.pl I realise special orders with big pleasure (always!). Maybe I will sell some day wallets in my etsy shop.. but actually.. I think that my trademark are mainly notebooks :) Maybe when I will have more free time for sewing.. I will add more things to my shop like wallets, bags, pencil cases, vanity bags.. etc.

Ok.. nevermind! I have to go now.. and wash of hairdye from my hair! ;d

Hope you had a nice weekend! And a quite warm one! Yes.. autumn is here too. And I have to admit it's a bit too cold now! ;o

Red&White + Cloudy Wall Painting + A.'s Blog

 New set. It's the third one.. three more left! :)

The same shape as the previous ones.. The vanity bag/purse has two pockets :)

 The wallet has a big black button for closure.

 There are few pockets for business cards etc. and a zippered pocket for pennies.

 And one pocket under the zippered pocket for your paper money.

 The back is plain, without laces etc. I wanted to create a simple waller for a person who likes stripes.. I know that not everyone loves flowers like me.. so I tried to make some other wallets too;p

Oh and I want to show you what I painted on a super old wooden toilet (not used any more) at my A.'s countryside.. He was painting a wall behind me.. so I borrowed his sprays and started my own work hehe;p Here is my work.. I hope it will make people smile when they will walk next to it;p

Haha.. do you like it?? Yes I know that I made clouds.. AGAIN! But I love clouds and rainbows!! Haha and I couldn's resist to paint that.. It's just a fast work.. and I couldn't use much paint.. They are quite expensive.. and I didn't want to empty them;p If you like works made with spray paint.. hop onto my A.'s blog! He just started this blog but I believe he will make a wonderful site with loads of wonderfull stuff! :)

Pencil Cases

 Lately I sewed three pencil cases.. one for my lovely client curiously - unfortunately I didn't make any photos.. I forgot!! ;o And one for pasiakowa and one.. just lies around in my handmade treasure chest.. cuz I have no idea what to do with it!

The one you see below is the one which just lies around.. waiting for a new owner;p It was meant to be for pasiakowa, but she didn't like it ;d 

It's quite big - 20x10cm

 The interior fabric is light pink :)

 I really really like this flowery fabric.. beautiful pattern.

 And as usually.. a bit of lace to make it more.. girly;p

 The second pencil case was also for pasiakowa - but this time for real. She picked the fabrics and I just sewed from the project :) The same size as the previous one.

 I hate hidden zippers! Hate hate hate! But in the closest shop I could buy only this one.. ghhrrr.. Oh.. and the interior is light green as you can see :)

I really hope pasiakowa like her new pencil case.. and that she will use it always and everywhere - well, she should! She's an artist! :d 

Yesterday, I started my new academic year.. I hope it will be a really really easy year! I need to sew more.. last year was a bit hard so I didn't really had time for sewing.. I'm again on the first year, cuz I had a chance to go on daily (free!) studies. So half of the subjects will be the same.. Ohh I hope this will be a super easy year! ;p

And again - sorry for bad photos!

Oh Oh and if you like books, in empik online store you can buy 3 for the price of 2! It's a really good offer, I have just bought some books.. My favourite (actually) books from the author Anne Bishop are very expensive.. and thanks to this discount I pay only for 2 of them! Really good business - and this promotion is only today. So hurry up Polish friends! :) (it's not a sponsored info! I just wanted you to know that you can buy something cheaper cuz not everyone visits empik online store often.. :))

My favourite one - canvas set

 Today I want to show you another set - but this one it's my favourite one. I love canvas. One of the first fabrics I bought when I started sewing was canvas, and it was love from the first sight. Seriously it is a wonderful fabric! And it isn't hard to do something beautiful using it! Like here:

Nothing complicated.. Just canvas, a bit of lace, cotton tape and a white fabric with a flowery fabric inside. Simple but beautiful :) I really wish I could have this set for myself!

 The purse/vanity bag has a fabric inside which makes two pockets (like in the previous Romantic Set).

 On the wallet you can see a nice flowery button.

 And a bit of lace and a yellow cotton tape.

 I really really like the interior.. the flowery fabric is just magical, isn't it?

And the back - blank canvas.

What do you think? Do you like it as much as I do? Well, I hope so haha ;d Because if you don't like it.. it means I have a weird sense of style! ;o

My weekend was wonderful, like every weekend spent with my noughty A. I hope your weekend was as good as mine or even better!
