sewing, sewing gone

Is this a bag?  or what?
I thought I would have a go at Ineke Berlins famous denim jeans bag, doesn't look very big in the book,
in real life- its enormous, I once made a loose cover for a large sofa, and this felt like a similar project, but its a wonderful, gigantic, mahoosive [yeah- new hip word- means quite large], the pattern comes from the book- The Quilted Object, excellent book.

Yes, the children are missing one or two pairs of jeans.

really enjoyed making this monster- just got the binding to finish, oh and its got secret pockets inside too.

Remember my silly book? some of my good friends have completed a page for me. this is Julies- tiny little hand dyed pieces of velvet, lovingly stitched over- it really  is exquisite.

And this is Wendy's-absolutely lovely, those little blue stars are tiny and have teeny tiny glass beads in them.



And look at this tiny pocket of stardust- guess what the song is....



what a beauty this is -thank you Jane

the detail in this is amazing.

I am very lucky to have such talented friends, thank you all.

and finally- this is the beginning of the cover of the silly book, hopefully it will improve.....
 

Il be off now, need to finish the bag ,must blog more often...
