Finished: the quilted Rumba shoulder bag (Quilt studio diary)

Image
In my previous post less than a week ago, I introduced a surprise project – and now the project is finished! I wanted to see if I could create as nice a zippered bag as I’d done a few years ago. Here are the two bags side by side: Sliver/Lastu on the left and the new Rumba shoulder bag on the right – you decide how they compare. For me, they look surprisingly similar on these sides, and are equal in charm. Before I share more photos of the finished Rumba bag, here are a few in-progress shots. First, one surface piece when quilted: And the other piece after quilting: Although I have many other go-to quilting patterns, easy enough to do and suitable for smaller surfaces that I quilt on my domestic sewing machine, I decided to use the same pattern that I used on the Sliver bag. I got the idea for this quilting pattern of intersecting arcs from my long-time IG friend Alfhild @alborve and it has become my favourite. Where the two arcs intersect, a crosshatch patte...

A surprise quilting project (Quilt studio diary)

Image
Since I was in my teens, I’ve been careful to stop every envious thought that enters my mind before they take up residence. Over the years, this has become an automatic reaction, with one exception. The one exception is my former quilting self. It is surprising how often I look at a pleasing item that I have made and secretly wish I could make something like that. Maybe confessing to this makes me seem deranged, but that is how my thoughts work sometimes. Sorry! This week’s surprise project started like that because I’ve been envying the Sliver/Lastu zipper bag lately. Long-time readers may remember seeing my original Sliver/Lastu zipper bag from year 2020. Some weeks ago, I came across it and set it to hang on a doorknob while I figured out what to do about the bag (to keep or gift or try to sell). I’ve been seeing the bag several times every day since then because that door is across the upstairs landing. And I’ve been so envious of my previous success! See if you...

Jipii! Yippee!

Sain vuoden kolmannen käsityön valmiiksi tänään, vuoden kolmantena päivänä. Jipii! Sen sai nimeksi tämä lituska vetoketjupussukka, joka on Hejsaniksi kutsumaani mallistoa. (Muistanette, että kaikki pitkällä kantolenksulla varustamani pussukat ovat Street-mallistoa ja nyt kehitin uuden, litteän Hejsan-malliston.) This year’s third finished item is ready today, on the third day of the year. Yippee! That’s what I’ve called this flat zippered pouch which is of the Hejsan line. (I’ve another line of pouches called Street, where the pouches all have a long strap. These flat pouches will all belong to the Hejsan line.) Upotin tähän tilkkupintaan aiempien kangasleikkituokioitteni tuloksia. Tikkauskuvioon innoitti omenakankaaseen lähtemättömästi jäänyt ommelreikärivi. Peitin sen siis tikkauksilla. Omenakangas on Tyttären ehkä ala-asteen käsitöissä ompelemista sortseista, jotka hän heti niiden valmistuttua lahjoitti minulle tilkkutyömateriaaliksi. I’ve used earlier patchwork play ...
