M and make up?

This locker is hanging on M's bedroom wall in order to organize nail polish, hair elastics, etc. It's a present we made for M's birthday last summer, but never showed it on this blog because the green edge had still to be crocheted. Now it's like it was in my mind.

An unused locker of Ikea is used. I covered the front and the inside with a leftover fabric of her tree and a mirror was mounted on the front. Because the locker had to close properly it turned out a quite precise job to do. But we managed.

Here you can see the different stages of mounting double sided adhesive foil to the fabric, cutting, folding corners and finally sticking to the front.

My mother is having her birthday today and is turning 75! We posted this for her and will visit her with the whole family next weekend. For now a small present filled with birthday goodies like pictures, drawings and letters.

My mother loves a modest way of living. Design should be simple, colors preferably natural. I hope this bag will suit her well. The leather is much more soft and supple than used in this tutorial.

Nice couple

Ok, I thought, let's make some more skirts of my favorite Petit Pan fabrics. This time with side pockets and neon waistbands. L complains that she can't choose...

They are meant for L, but yesterday both skirts were worn by M and L. I must say that M is getting too old for a skirt model like this. But in the sun I especially loved the bright color of the orange skirt. I would say it's autumn orange.
"Mama, don't show my bare belly on internet!" I tried, my dear L.

Anouk

Last Friday M's teacher invited international and national popstars on her birthday. M turned into her favorite singer Anouk and therefor she whipped up a proper t-shirt the day before, using sparkling leftovers from this craft.

Pour ma fille

Just great to work on, such a photo book! Already finished and written in french, I'm glad. Pour toi M, ma chère fille. Here are some of the pages to get a peek:
