my creative space this week; this time a finished project! :)
my mother in law asked me if i could make her a new handbag for work. she wanted the one i made in sewing class because it easily fits an A4 and it is quite sturdy. but i had a better idea! ever since i saw the tatanne bag on this blog i knew i had to make it one day. now finally i did! it took me a whole day to sew and i made a few errors here and there but i'm quite proud of the end result... :) thanks to a wonderful and well explained pattern, ofcourse! 
the fabrics are all ikea fabrics from the sales corner, the lining (i love the lining!) was actually the most tacky sheet i've ever seen (ruffles and all...), and it comes from the thriftstore. :) the fabrics were actually quite randomly picked, as most of my fabrics are in a big huge box in my old room at my parents place, cause there is no way i can store them in our apartment and this is what i had lying around...  but i think the combination actually works quite well! :)  

check out more creative spaces here.
(i hope my mother in law doesn't read my blog, by the way. i still have to give her the bag!! :))

    I. LOVE. THIS. BAG. So much so that even though I don't have time to sew ANYTHING right now, I had to go and find the pattern. I think this could be my new summer go to bag (in another 6 months or so...). Thanks for the link! :)

    It's a beauty! And more often than not, I prefer enforced randomness to my angsted-over choices...

    Oh heel mooi! En die kleur blauw is prachtig! (en je kleedje trouwens ook). Die tas staat ook al lang op mijn to do list. De patroondelen zijn zelfs al uitgeknipt en geplakt, maar ik ben er nooit aan toegekomen.

    I love this bag! The shape is really fun and the ties on the side add a little something extra. I wish I could sew. I should probably get into a sewing class...

    I would have trouble parting with that bag. I saw this post when I was on vacation but couldn't post right ( more comment form troubles :)) so I gave up. But I think the comment was something like, "um, WOW!".
    Your photos are so cute too.
