Moonlights - Autumn Collection 2014

 Just finished my new Autumn collection jewelry photo shop.

Such a delicious eye candies.

I love every each of them.

Main theme material is Fresh water pearl- free formed Zibra pattern. 

While being busy preparing and packing  to move to my new house,

I had this colletion idea in my mind and had to finish them.

 Zibra pattern free form Fresh water pearl is all different natural shapes.

There is no identical shape.

So I combined several similar shapes and patterns, made a few set.

I made with gunmetal , gold plated , and silver plated wires to unique pairs of earrings.

They are glowing under the sunshine and night lights.

Perfect for a beautiful beach style bridesmaids set.

 Florite teardrop set is my love here.

So romantic, elegant, and vintage mode.

I wire wrapped and linked with yellow Agate for the necklace.

Only one set for wedding or special days.

My Storytelling Series

I simply love this pouch.

When I first saw these fabric I instantly made my lovely collection- Storytelling.

This collection is house, bird, flower, and cute animals printed 

with blue, pink, and yellow colors.

This pouch is made with 5 fabric from this collection.

I decorated with mini lace and cat printed cotton label.

Bias part was a quite challenge.

And yellow bird print was selected.  

I probably make more pouch design with out of this collection,

and prepare pouch kit very soon.

 Storytelling fabric collection is steady seller fabric on my Etsy and Ebay shop for the last 2 years.

Pink Heart Handmade Patchwork Cosmetic Pouch

Pink Heart Cosmetic Pouch instructions is one of  my steady seller

 on my Etsy shop.

I first made this last Spring (2013) by using stash but soon I had to order more fabric for my custom orders.

The instructions are made later on April 2014.

And it sells as  instant downloadable PDF file and JPG files.

making the pouch is a piece if cake for me.

Because I have been made these pouches for over 20 years.

It was one of my first project when I was a beginner quilter on the early 1990.

I soon fell in love with making this, L made all big holiday gifts

 for all my family and friends,

I mean for girls.

My sister has 3 pouches I made.

They are all made in around late 1990.

Guess what? she is still using them and they are still very very good condition.

Of course my sister is extra clean and keeping things well person.

As I mentioned that making pouches is a piece of cake.

I can make 3 pouch in one day.

Well, for preparing instructions, God  I'm telling you that  I worked a looot!!

Every step of process I took photos, hundreds of photos.

Then start to photo-shop for days.

And then Ordering the photos, describing instructions one by one. 

It was not easy job.

Simply I put a lot of effort into making this instructions.

I really like to do things done by myself as much as handcrafting.

The last thing I prepared is Kit set.

It's my favorite part.

When I prepared this Kit and took photos, I was happy for my customer
s who will open and big smile seeing this.

Yeah! I love kit , ordering quilt kit feels me like  I already made them.

So I know about sewing kit well.

I hope everybody enjoy my pouch Kit.

Now they are on  store.

I also made mini partial tutorial video for this.
The link is provided on the instructions.

More Rustic Collection

Another rustic collection I made last Autumn-full of Autumn.

I have a quite collection of antique style metal charms.

They are very good with Czech beads, which they call it Picasso.

I had a lot of fun to play with these charms , beads, and leather cord.

At the end of the fun process it had a personality of its own.

It's awesome Bohemian style bracelet.

Strangely it went well with the baby pink cute Czech bracelet.

So I mixed and matched them.

My First Jewelry Story-Rustic & Soft

This might be the first story about my handmade jewelry.

I've been made jewelry for about 5 years, not so long time.

I love small , tiny minimalist jewelry, but as I started to make jewelry , things are a little bit changed.

I found how bold , profoundly huge jewelry are out there.

So I got a little bit encouraged to make a different style and sizes.

But I can't get out of my cute and small style like these ones.

I made these collections last Autumn.

As soon as I saw the Czech beads, I already made these collections in my head.

Just a little bit touch and kept the raw material as they were.

Look at the beautiful, rustic beach style earrings hanging around 

the handmade mug my brother-in- law made

 at his pottery class.

The atmosphere, color, and natural pattern is beautifully matched .

I love these rustic collections - Purple & Green

Mostly Czech beads that I used for these collection.

I also used  green and blue Agate with gold plated findings.

They are glowing and I can feel  breeze on the beach on them.

Vintage Style Mannequin Pillow For this Autumn 2014

I've been really into Mannequin icon for the last few months.

I looked for different mannequin design a lot and cut paper pattern with many different kinds of design paper and fabric.

When I get to like something I immediately fall into love with it.

This might be the way of my addiction. 

I don't smoke, not enjoying drinks, maybe a little bit girly cocktail only, I don't play games.

I only do handcrafting and searching for my recent addictions.

Oh I drink coffee a lot, I mean a looot!!

I finally organized some of my fabric mannequin cuts and hand-appliqued

 and hand-embroidered in the center.

This made a vintage style pillow case.

 Pillow case design is my all time favorite quilt project.

I'm going to make  more similar design of this.

This will sell on my Etsy shop 

as a custom order and DIY Instructions 

https://www.etsy.com/shop/jamiesquilting

When I get to make enough similar design , they will be made to miniature quilt and wall hanging quilt.

I love this as much as my heart collection.

3 cute pink design is  already made.

You can see one of them behind the mannequin pillow.

That will be my new generation heart pillow collection for little girls.

Design a Heart Patchwork Bag.

Heart pattern is my all time thyme for my quilt, sewing, and jewelry design.

I used random Azmini stash to make fee form heart - just drawing and cut - matched other stash,  and heart appliqued patchwork top.

I decided to use quilt top for pocket of the bag.

This was just instant idea .I was tried to make something with heart pattern and it delivered to make a big tote bag with big pockets on both sides.

Azmino fabric is very durable , dirt-free, wrinkle free because of  its natural texture.  

And it's perfect for country style and vintage style bags and quilts.

During crafting this bag I draw illustration ,took photos, and wrote all the detailed description.

So now I have my own instructions for this bag.

I made quite a few design and instructions using photo shop.

But this time, to be  creative and to show more of my personality, I hand-wrote the instructions.

It might be a stupid idea to give handwritten instructions to my customers .

I had to be brave to do my own way.

This bag was for my daughter Hana.

I was going to make a dipper bag for her and her 6-month-old  baby boy, Yuri.

She is very young mother ,who wants things pretty ,stylish.

She didn't want a dipper bag looks like a dipper bag.

You know what I mean.

Do you think it looks like a dipper bag??

When she is walking around carrying this bag holding her son, everybody compliment the bag.

"Where did you buy the bag?"

She simply says " Nowhere, isn't it cute?my mother made it for me"

Now downloadable  instructions for this bag is available on my Etsy shop.
