 The perfect Mothers Day Gift! And of course you can sew it yourself. This storage basket is made of fun Glamor (or Fashion) fabric. How to make this little man is actually very simple. In this blog you can read all about it and find the shopping list for this project.
The Chanel-style bag is very similar to the style icon of the Chanel bag 2.55. How can you make this bag yourself? It's less difficult than you think. The bag has the construction of a envelope bag and offers four compartments. The instructions are in the Dutch language but the photos are easy to follow.

You can make it yourself if you have sewing experience. It is not a project we recommend for beginners or seamstress with little experience, but maybe with some help, it isn't that difficult.

It's quite simple: the bag is sewn to the picnic blanket! Country Chic!  The ideal bag for the garden center; a Garden Tote Bag! This is an XL shopping bag that is strong enough to transport pots with plants, and yes, also a bag of potting soil! The bag has a nylon lining and can get dirty. It is easily cleaned with a wet cloth. The bag is very useful and is fun to make.

It is an amazing book to learn to make THE classics among the bags. But despite the beautiful bags, the beautiful photos and the joy of making these bags, we do have some questions...
 Everyday essentials is an English sewing pattern for a bag, two toiletry bags and two wallets by Noodlehead, Anna Graham. It is a sewing pattern that is unlike any other: it is a beautiful magazine! But the result is very mundane and above all practical. A lovely bag and accessories that stand out because of their simplicity and yet a beautiful finish.
