Color combinations! argh!

I always wanted to try out eylets on a bag so here I go... I had this very pretty fabric left I used on a pillow cover for the master bedroom.

I couldn't decide on a fabric for the lining so I picked three. :) 

So now I need to decide what color the handles are going to be! I decided to go with leather or fake leather handles instead of the cotton ones I usually make. First I thought about dark brown or even a beige color but then I found these on Amazon:

Still not 100% sure. Need some opinions please! Also, what colors should I use for the ties on the side and the button? sigh. Having a hard time to make pick the right colors for this bag for some reason...

My next project looks like this....

:) I love using every single little piece of fabric.

Summer table topper

I finally finished my summer table topper. I will definitely keep it for myself :) and use it on our little table on the balcony. I might just have to buy a see through table cloth to go on top of it so my boys won't mess it up. haha.

new fabric!

We went to the Yongsan post this weekend. They had a little safety awarness fest going on at the commissary as well as a big lot sale. Some small vendors sold a bunch of their stuff like sunglasses, nick nacks, and even fabric! He had some great prints but I wasn't really looking for anything since I still have tons at home to work with. Plus he already had them cut in 2 yard pieces and I usually just get 1 yard unless I absolutely love it. Anyway, I ended up choosing 3 fabrics and I think I already have some ideas what to use them for. :))

Ben's quilt

I finally started working on Ben's quilt. He is crazy about cars and trucks so of course it was easy to pick a theme for it.
I actual take some of his toys and try to copy the shapes. I hope it won't take me too long to finish it. :)

Here are two blocks I put together.

make up case

I've made this make up case for my sister. She looooves cats! I was going to make a small purse with this fabric but it was just not enough and I didn't wanted to mix it with other fabric. So I made her a make up case with a bright pink lining. I also added a little bling bling zipper thingy since she is all about that.

This was my first make up case but I really hate how it gets so thick on each of the zipper ends because of all the fabric and batting. Maybe I will try a different pattern next time.

bibs

I've been sewing a lot of bibs for friends and family lately thanks to lazy. :)
She sent me a great pattern but now I almost ran out of the thin batting so I have to start working on something else until I get more.


For some reason this picture always turns after I upload it. Sorry! Don't hurt your neck. ;)
