Lace 2010

Currently working on a new bag and frame shape for the first time. Just praying for knowledge and wisdom to get it right the first time! Its going well so far. But while I design and sew away, feast your eyes on this.


Lace 2010

My sources (tv, internet and my eyes) tell me that lace is in this season. The 20s vintage style has been revamped and given a modern twists. Once again proving that fashion is on a never ending cycle and will inevitably repeat itself. I wonder what twist will be put on it in the next 80 years??

So of course I couldnt let the opportunity pass without releasing my own edit of the trend. Lace is in this season and everyone has jumped upon the frilly band wagon, As have I.

Presenting the Lace Mini Clutch by Wemi Designs.

The Pictures have arrived!!

Taddaaa!!!!, I figured the pattern out finally. Still needs loads more tweeks here and there but its my first so I'm proud, proud, proud!. I love the material too, created to a better, it could be lovely as a vintage style wedding bag. Need to work on the patter me sewing skills. x.out.x

Finally made a Nigerian bag

Well technically, not a Nigerian bag per-say, but bag made out of Ankara. A Nigerian fabric I believe.

I pleated the bag which didn't take too long, but I did find it annoying.

Cant wait to make more, just need more money!!!

Need more of it now.

Bag No2

This bag was made just by repeating what I knew and adapting the pattern, which i created myself. I absolutely LOVE the fabric (Thanks Mum!). I don't have much of it left but I hope to make something really special with the rest.

The Interfacing made it wrinkle however :( not nice.
But once again, I promise to upload better pictures!

1st Post... 1st Bag!

Well with this being my first ever post, I thought it only sensible to display my 1st purse, as that is the main point of my blog.

Created this by following and online tutorial and praying that I complete it well, and hay presto.. well after a couple of hours, my purse was complete!

I personally sourced the Fabric from Mozambique, Southern Africa, when I went there to volunteer at an Orphanage with Iris Ministries. Loved it, Loved it, Loved it! And I made sure I brought the fabric back so that I could have a piece of wonderful Pemba back home with me to 'sunny' London. How excited and proud I was and still am.

...Ok this is my first time posting a blog erm, how do I post a picture with this? Ill figure it out.................................................................................
Yay! I figured it out. Wasn't rocket science though.


P.S. Sorry about the bad quality of the picture, it was taken with my camera phone.
I promise to upload better pictures soon.
