queuing to be sewn

Hi! I´ve been making some order yesterday and now I have this fabrics where I can see them. I want to sew them as soon as I have the chance (and before summer ends here!). Usually when I have a fabric I don´t wait to sew it, but this time was different because we moved in July from north summer to south winter...so they are still waiting :-)
Do you have crafts in a queue? 
Xo, have a nice day! 

1. Blue cotton fabric with white butterflies, I bought it in Buenos Aires, while visiting family. 

2, 3. Blue and white stripes and the one from the right, I bought them in Madrid, in Rives y Casals. If you ever go to Madrid, that shop is amazing for sewing lovers. You can visit their web page by clicking here. 

4, 5. Multicolor triangles, and blue with white flowers, I´ve bought them on Etsy, in the shop "The Delhi Store". The quality is amazing, I´ve washed them to avoid size changes after sewing and they did not loose a even bit of color. You can visit that shop by clicking here.

6. Beige background with flowers. Is a birthday gift from my mother, she bought it on Etsy too, in the shop "SonSu". Love the quality and texture of this fabric. You can visit this shop by clicking here. 

7. The one on the right in vertical position is a dress I have to change a bit.

gifts from Latin America

Hi Folks! 
Yesterday I´ve listed in the shop the bag you can see in the picture in burgundy and off white...and then I realised I definitely want one for my personal use next winter! I would love to combine it with my "never stop wearing" burgundy shoes (Camper) and beige wool jacket (Benetton). People says is better having accessories in neutral colors, to be able to combine them easyly...it sounds reasonable! But in my case, when I have something I like, I combine it with everything for years and becomes my "never stop wearing" :-)
Here you can see some stuff I found on Etsy, from other Latin American shops...a bit for the home, a bit for wearing, it all can perfectly combine with my bag! They can also be that perfect gift you are looking for this Christmas, don´t you think? 
You can see them better by clicking on the name of the shop, take a look and enjoy! 
Have a nice day :-)

welcome, December!

Incredible but true, December is here! 

Last week literally went away without notice. Time should settle down a bit! December should be a good moment to settle down, because of Christmas and the end of another year. Crazy month plenty of things to do, but really deserves to be apreciated! Hope you enjoy this great month! 

xo!

a little up date

Hi Friends!! Happy Monday and new week! Hope you´ve had a great weekend. Last week has been pretty busy here, sewing and more sewing! I´m making new items for the shop that hope I´ll be listing soon, and also sewing some orders to be shipped. I have many new ideas for new bags... I would like to add some backpacks to the shop and also some smaller bags. 
My sewing machine is behaving well, but is making some strange noises :( I think I´m forcing it a bit...too much work for a tiny machine...may be after Christmas I can invest in another one bigger and sturdier. 
Here you can see a few snaps from work last week and a bit more just around here.  
Have a nice week! xo!

gifts for your workspace

Hi, Folks! I would love to show you a few of my favorite things on Etsy, that I would love to have in my studio! My work space is just great, but could be more organised, functional and beautiful at the same time with this stuff, don´t you think? They can also be that perfect gift you are looking for in this season :)

Below the picture you can find a link to each shop...enjoy and take a look!

Hope you have a great weekend!

home sweet home

Hi Friends! Hope you are ok! I´ve been away this week, visiting my family in Argentina. We´ve had great family time, with spring days, blue skies and flowers everywhere. Feeling home there, and also here now that I´m back in Chile.  
Here I give you some "home feeling" pictures, and one I´ve made while we were flying over The Andes. It was such an amazing view that it´s almost a crime showing that pic here, it doesn´t illustrate almost anything, nature can be just amazing! 
I´ve used my cinnamon brown waxed canvas tote for the trip, and it worked great:  so comfortable to use, really roomy and sturdy! 
Hope you have a great weekend! 
XO!

Hi, there!!

Hi, Folks! 
There´s been a while since my last post, we´d been pretty busy here! 
I´ve made and listed some new bags in the shop, and there are some still waiting to be listed! 
We´ve had four days of holiday last week here in Chile, so the week was really short with so much rush. I´ve also gone to a zone in the city where there are so many shops selling sewing supplies. They have everything you can imagine for sewing, and I´ve bought some new thread to try how it goes with the bags. It went so incredibly well! I´m wondering now how could I use something different before :-) 
Here you have some pics from the studio last week, and also some from our weekend ride. 
See you soon!!
XO

To my Spanish speaking friends: the blog and shop will be translated into Spanish soon, a little more of patience, please!! :-)
Para mis amigos hispano-parlantes: pronto traduciré el blog y la tienda al español! Un poquito mas de paciencia por favor! :) Gracias!
