Supposed to be... not a Clutch

I love U Handbag blog. It's very informatif and having some free tutorials for making bags. I have been eyeing on one tutorial, The Graceful Kelly Bag. Then I finally ordered a big purse frame in Au Pays d'Alice (they will be closing their store soon, everything is on sale) and got a nice fabric on sale in Mondial Tissus store. Since the size of the frame was not the same with the one in U Handbag tutorial, I followed another tutorial to make my own bag design (it's on the same blog).

With my limited experience of making bags, I tried so hard to make that Graceful Kelly Bag. It was my first 'contact' with some interfacings (hm, I'm still learning about interfacing and interlining things...) and it was not easy. But as usual, we learnt from mistakes. And I have learned a lot.

At the end, the bag was transformed into a clutch. Don't ask why... I will try again later *still dreaming of that Graceful Kelly Bag*

Lazy Days Skirts

My little miss likes skirts so much. And one day, she asked for a skirt like Minnie Mouse had. Polka dots skirt. I think she has been watching Playhouse Disney too much, right? Well, I did not have the pinky polka dots fabric. Only red polka dots. Bought it last year for her birthday (I planned to make one Minnie dress for her but nope, I didn't do it). So, with that fabric, I made the Minnie skirt she wanted.

Two skirts that I finally made last week. The pattern was from Oliver + S website (thank you so much!). It was so easy and simple. I think this project is very suitable for beginners like me.  And you can google all images with the title "Oliver + S skirt" to see all cute skirt creations made by many moms around the world. So beautiful!
