new fabrics

I am in my new house. Finally arranged my working space and off to sew like crazy. I have a meeting tomorrow morning in Tel Aviv with these guys and had a hectic day preparing a set of bags and purses for them. I am pretty excited to start using the new fabrics also for large bags.

Preseljeni v novo hišico, na "vasi". Končno sem uspela urediti mojo delovno sobo in pričela s šivanjem brez meja. Jutri zjutraj imam sestanek s člani tele strani in sem danes ves dan pripravljala torbice zanje. Fino je bilo med prsti držati nekaj novega blaga in komaj čakam, da naredim veliko torbo iz krasnega "tribal" platna.

Made a small view into the things that are currently in my surroundings.

1. Last week I visited my good old fabric supplier in Tel Aviv (wrote about him already). He got some AMAZING upholstery fabric pieces and I grabbed them all without thinking twice. There is about a meter and a half of each piece so whatever I will make out of it will be very unique. Any ideas? Btw, already made this large bag and came out very nice.

2.  This clutch made out of orange silk with embroidered flower used to be a hit in my store. Only one left.

3. A metal zipper. Finally I found it and collected enough courage to start making some kind of a bag with it. For the ladies that like things simple, strong and useful :) Soon, photos.

4. This is a must book for everyone that loves handmade and beautiful. There are over 70 artisans inside and some of them are breathtaking.

5. Jonatan wanted this yesterday and we started to think about summer and the sea, travelling and vacations.  Amazing how he chose this great VW caravan of all the modern cars that were on the shop's stand, well...he is the son of his parents.

6. The new "attachment" to the bags and purses that are shipped to PikulaBags customers. There's more to this...

Marmelada market and PikulaBags.

fold over

The fold over purses became a real hit. I made 3 new ones. Specially liked how the light brown one with machine embroidery came out.

Available in my shop, still with free shipping.

And here are some links for making the mess into order:
Delicious is a site where you can store all your links that you don't want to forget.
Springpad gives you a place to quickly and easily save anything you want to remember. I started with them and it makes my life easier.
Good luck! :)

Upognjene torbice so postale pravi hit. Naredila sem se 3 in se posebej mi je vsec, kako je moj stari dobri sivalni stroj nasival vse tiste vzorcke pri svetlo rjavi torbici. Mika se je zelo tezko zadrzevala in namesto torbice na koncu osvojila pokrovcek od fotoaparata.

Upognjenke najdete v moji trgovinici, se vedno jih prodam brez postnine.

Ben Shemen sale

It was a beautiful summer evening. The sale's organizer, Karen Shavit once again made it to the top. The sale took place in a beautiful moshav of Ben Shemen in a magical place: The house of Iris Barnea.
Pikula was there. And my stand got nearly emptied. The best candy was definitelly Pikula's iPhone case.
