🔸 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! 🔸 pic credit @rana_gill (obviously) 🔸 . . . . . #beltbag #fannypack #hipbag #handmadebag #slowfashion #slowmaking #indiesewing #isew #isewlation #sewingpatterns #indiepatterns #qayg #qaygzipperpouch #improvquilting #scrapbusting #100scrapchallenge #quiltedpouch #patchwork #makersgonnamake #vancouversews #capsulewardrobe #imademyclothes #handmadewardrobe #sewingismytherapy #sewingmachine #thriftflip #thrifted #etsyseller https://www.instagram.com/p/CBkCSSrHoao/?igshid=1q7jpzq3s01rl

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! ☺️ . . . . #kelowna #vancouversews #handmadewardrobe #handmadewithlove #bagmaking #fannypack #beltbag #hipbag #100scrapchallenge #stashbusting #indiesewing #upcycle #fabricrecycling #thriftflip #memade2020 #slowfashion #slowmaking #isewlation #isew #sewcialists #sewingismytherapy #sewing #sewingpatterns #handmadebag #fennelfannypack #patchwork #patchworkpouch #quiltedpouch #quilt #qayg (at Kelowna, British Columbia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CBYjJren4-S/?igshid=1uqcev8koaqri

19/100 i have nothing to add here, here to listen and absorb. from police brutality, racism, horrible leaders, ongoing pandemic, fighting outdated cultural norms, heinous acts against animals and other unfortunate events, i feel numb. https://www.instagram.com/p/CA_BebkHDb5/?igshid=1u39a7t5ym43z

failures need to celebrated and documented as well. this was my first time for a lot of things. first time for: 🔸 sewing with linen 🔸 sewing pants 🔸 decoding vintage patterns 🔸 modifying patterns (added length, graded between sizes, added pockets which I had to remove as they landed at my knees!) 🔸 fabric and notions from @fabcyclevan @oursocialfabric 🔸 #memade2020 #measuretwicecutonce #handmadewardrobe #fabricrecycling #vintagesewingpattern #vintagepatterns #linen #linenpants #freerangeslacks #patternhack #sewcialdistancing #sewcialists #isewlation #slowmaking #slowfashion #sewing #sewingpatterns #sewingmachine #sewingismytherapy #indiesewing #indiepatterns #vancouversews #vancouver #makersgonnamake #etsyseller https://www.instagram.com/p/CA35OxuHvVv/?igshid=1vcbe44flp9lp

(part 1) 🔸 my first patchwork reversible jacket using only scrap fabrics and @shopwiksten #wikstenhaori pattern. 🔸 The jacket is loose fitted, i cut size S of the pattern and prefer the baggy form to hide all my snack cravings. 🔸 I added million pockets cause one can never have enough! 🔸 Initially i had the back patchwork all planned out in a pattern but while sewing i messed up the order and it turned into a random chaos. I still like it though! 🔸 Stay tuned for the other side of the jacket.(part 2) Should I post a video of wearing the jacket and showing its reversible features?

I have my work cut out for the weekends to come, while we are still staying indoors and working from home. hence i have nothing new to show you from my sewing adventures. but here is a poorly painted illustration of what i hope I'll end up making. 🔸 stay tuned. 🔸 #wikstenhaori #patchworkjacket #quiltedjacket #quilt #quiltsofinstagram #scrapbusting #patchwork #sewingpatterns #indiesewing #vancouversews #sewing #isewlation #sewcialdistancing #fabsewcialchallenge #illustration #acrylicpainting #sketchbook #sketch #sewcialists #sewingproject #100scrapchallenge #makersgonnamake #handmadewardrobe #memademay2020 #memade2020 #haori #memadewardrobe #vancouver #newwestminster #art (at New Westminster, British Columbia) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_wAqBmHSH7/?igshid=ge35lqlhqk7i

our bedroom had a lone plant without any planter, so i stitched up a reversible fabric planter from scrap fabric. this was a quick early morning project. i think it looks cute, what do you think? . . . . #100scrapchallenge #scrapbusting #fabricrecycling #textilerecycling #patchwork #quilting #qayg #improvquilting #fabric #sewcialdistancing #slowfashion #slowmaking #maker #makersgonnamake #handmadewardrobe #handmadebusiness #sewcialists #sewingpatterns #sewingmachine #sewing #indiesewing #indiepatterns #vancouver #newwestminster #newwestartist #vancouversews #vancitybuzz #vancouverartist #craft #socialdistancing https://www.instagram.com/p/B_IiP-InLAi/?igshid=2cx957ibby4j

remember the two patchwork pieces i had made few posts ago? This weekend I sewed a self drafted pattern to create a tote/ bag/purse using the quilt patchwork as the center pieces. I added a drawstring opening and some colorful pockets on the inside lining. You'll find me flaunting this on my grocery runs, walks, chilling on the patio and even when I continue to work from home. ☺️ I have added more images in this post to show the details. . . . . . . #100scrapchallenge #scrapbusting #fabricrecycling #textilerecycling #patchwork #quilting #qayg #improvquilting #fabric #sewcialdistancing #slowfashion #slowmaking #maker #makersgonnamake #handmadewardrobe #handmadebusiness #sewcialists #sewingpatterns #sewingmachine #sewing #indiesewing #indiepatterns #vancouver #newwestminster #newwestartist #vancouversews #vancitybuzz #vancouverartist #craft #socialdistancing (at New Westminster, British Columbia) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_L8f7PnhOt/?igshid=7txcdpcshmm0

my next few projects will revolve around scrap busting. These are remainders of past projects, previous makers and old memories. each was one a whole but now a part of hopefully something new that i could make.

never thought i'd end up sewing a mask for myself...but this will ease my anxiety during train rides to work for the coming few weeks. This in no way protects me from viruses as it's not as per medical grade. I hope everyone reading this safe and healthy. 🙏 . . . . . #covid19 #pandemic #cold #healthyliving #modernsewing #sewing #facemask #diymask #canada #health #vancouver #newwestartist #makersgonnamake #sewingproject #memade2020 #maker #madeinthe604 #madeinvancouver #handmade #cotton #naturalfiber #textilerecycling #reducethecurve #socialdistancing #etsyseller #etsycanada #nomakeup https://www.instagram.com/p/B9u7qcPn8JT/?igshid=co25h1x9pnkh

*new handmade home decor* i quilted the thrifted fabrics to make two cushion covers. it adds some color to our otherwise muted home decor. i made several errors with the dimensions but at the end i winged it and my intuition take over. What do you think? . . . . https://www.instagram.com/p/B9NLDa2n_MQ/?igshid=1drahxtmbc6ms

'U' zipper pouch. I like organic shapes mixed with some geometry. So this time I tried to sew curves and make a deep U shaped pouch using stripes of limited color palette. Still need more practice with zipper finishing but this one feels so much more handmade 🤘😍 . . . . . #textileartist #textilerecycling #improvquilting #modernquilting #modernsewing #quiltedpouch #quilt #quilting #quiltsofinstagram #stripes #texture #zipperpouch #makersgonnamake #maker #handmadebusiness #handmadewithlove #handmade #smallbusiness #sidehustle #etsyseller #etsycanada #etsyvancouver #etsyshop #colorpalette #newetsyshop #beginnerquilter #beginnersewing #sewing #vancouverevents #vancouverartist (at New Westminster, British Columbia) https://www.instagram.com/p/B87TReQppry/?igshid=1wmfholy3fwfw
