This fabric is one of my favorite ones that I shopped in downtown Toronto. (Designer’s Fabric Center)
It’s not cheap though, but, I was willing buy it just because I want to use it to make a handbag for myself, and may be a little garment for Erika. (not for selling this time.)
This bag’s pattern is from a Japanese template (by Clover.)
another view of the bag
The template thing is just so handy and I can trace them directly to the fabric.
I can make as many bags as I want to by using the same template.
And there are a-h (total 8 styles) different bag styles in one plastic template..
so, what’s it?
Go HERE to take a look, I bought the template from this online store. 
COOL, right?
This store ships the products directly from Japan, and the good thing is that it’s quite fast the shipping and the packaging is nice.
Wow, after learning about sewing, I found that there are SO MUCH FUN to work with fabrics!
Now, I am ‘dreaming’ if I can print my own fabric.
1) screen printing, I have this set of materials since I was in highschool, and I wonder if the paint inside the box works or not. Oh well, if it doesn’t work, I can stock up some new ones, they are not that expensive though. I wanted to make silk screen printing since I was in High school, however, the box remains unopened till today! believe it or not. I will dig it out from my mom’s house, and try it!
2) I found this SITE: spoonflower.com
www.spoonflower.com (beta)
A very interesting site: it helps you to print your own design fabric. isn’t it cool?
I checked the price for the printing, it’s not CHEAP, but I think, if I am going to order 3-5 yards, it’s quite reasonable, and it will be really unique…..
wow.. can’t wait to design some …
however, I am still in a waiting list, this site is still in beta mode. (Just like when we waited for the “invitation” from Ravelry…. )
In the mean time, I can start with the silk screen printing first.
fun fun fun….
knitting?
yes, I did a bit… (yeah, just a bit..)
I think I just can’t stick with ONE craft at a time… 
(That’s why I gave myself a name : Craftlover (not just KNITLOVER)
Here is a birthday gift for Angel, I shall keep this as a secret… or a surprise…
but, I just can’t wait to post it up…
just in case if Angel doesn’t like it, I still have time to make a new one for her.. (Yes, Angel, you can give me any comment.. )
I hope she will love it, as she wants a bigger one, so, I resized the pattern and make it as big as a tote bag!
I love the fabric for the lining, my favorite blue floral pattern.
My husband said , “wow, you sewed much faster than knitting! you should sell them in etsy store! “
I wish.
outer fabric: bought from IKEA, inner lining: from tonicliving.com
I love Heather Bailey’s design, her fabrics and sewing patterns are so gorgeous!
I tried her pin cushion (it’s free: link)
I didn’t do well for this cushion, I will definitely try again…
but, it’s very useful, I really need it while sewing.
I know I’m not good in sewing, but I would like to practice more from now on.
I have a sewing machine, but I would love to sew by hands first. (It’s quieter , because I usually do crafts while baby is sleeping.)
This is the first little pouch sewing by me.
I love this fabric, it’s bought from an online store called Tonic living.
good service with nice fabric choices.
