Sunday Stash #4 - Indian Silk and Brocade

Hello and happy Sunday!

Welcome to another Sunday Stash Post. This week it's about Indian silk. 

Indian fabrics are rich in colors and not to mention the variety of prints and design. Be it cotton or silk or other woven fabrics. Let's take a look!

Brocade is still considered as one of luxury fabrics. In India, most often seen in Sarees or party salwar kameez or lehenga.

Besides, bags and handbags made of silk brocade become very popular. The stunning fabrics need no complicated design. Even a simple evening clutch will look stunning if made using these silk fabrics.

Sunday Stash #2 - Vibrant Indian Fabric Bundles

Hello,

Today I spent my morning cutting a couple of fabrics to make fabric bundles for the shops. I cut a lot of greens and yellows today. You can check my Instagram to get a sneak peek of what's coming! Meanwhile, I listed a couple of fabric bundles in ETSY SHOP and you can also find them in my WEBSHOP if you're in India. 

Scrap Bundle

I will add more scrap bundles like the one above. It consists of smaller scraps with maximum size around fat eighth (9" x 21").

The popular greens and blues

The blues and greens are always popular. They are also my personal favorite. Especially teal blue. 

Burnt orange and red

Blue Fabric Bundle

Don't you love these white based fabrics? 

Low volume - white based bundle

Indian fabrics have unique prints and colors. Some prints always available and some are seasonal. Go ahead and take a look at the shops. Pick your fave bundles. Most of them are only one bundle available, so it's a one of a kind fabric bundle. If you like,  I can also make customized bundles. 

I hope you have a relaxing Sunday!

Happy Sewing,

A lot of fun fabric bundles

Hello,

It's so good to be able to write the blog again. I've been writing in my mind all the time. I was so busy after I came back from summer holiday. I had a great time, by the way. I updated a few of the holiday photos in my Instagram account. 

So here's what happened. I made fabric bundles!! Yes, lots of them and I am still making more. This is part of my destashing program. 

Like these  Bali Batik Duos (it's Fat Quarter set of 2)

I really enjoyed the process, cutting, putting the colors together, folding and taking good photos. 

Looking at these pretty fabrics, really lift up my spirit. I still have a lot of bundles to make, if you're interested, you're most welcome to join Chezvies Fabrics Club  on Facebook where you can get the first dip on the bundles. 

Make sure you check the shop to see what's available now. 

Thank you for stopping by,

Until then,

Happy Sewing

Monday Updates

Hello again,

Last week I completed another improv on the family passport holder. This time I converted interior slip pocket into a zippered pocket.

Hopefully, I can write a tutorial for that soon. I forgot to take photos this time. It's very easy and I love how this turned out. I hope she will like it!!

I think I am going to offer this option in the shop along with other options, like an exterior zippered pocket 

 Sewing wallet binding is my favorite. It's like a lava cake after a Pizza dinner LOL. I have a tutorial coming up tomorrow! 

In the meantime, I'll be working on another improvisation this week. Don't you just love when with a single pattern you can make so many varieties?

You can get the passport holder pattern HERE.

It's Monday and here sneak peek to cheer you up this Monday ^^

All these beauty will be available tonight! Limited stock available!

What is your favorite fabric?

Mine is cotton but whenever I go to fabric shop, I literally buying all kind of fabrics. I love everything!

Like this Rayon fabric. The Indigo color with splash of rustic and contract orange red was so unique. 

Indigo Red Shibori Print Rayon

When I see fabric, I will have a lot of ideas in my head , should I make a skirt, a dress, tunic or quilt or bag.

The texture is so soft and the shibori print is so pretty. I will usually parade it in front of my sons and both of them will roll their eyes "Mama, please that's enough" sort of expression. 

and here is another one

Dual Color Rayon

This is such gorgeous fabric. The patchwork-y style and the black/dark grey has the look of denim. 

What will you make with this fabric? 

Until then,

Happy Weekends
