romantic heart


vintage botanical illustration (found on the net & photoshoped)
printed on reused brown wrapping paper

the heart was made of the same dish towel as this one plus some thick off-white cotton from ikea

i actually use pillow inserts to stuff hearts
one insert for the smallest throw pillow (the cheapest i can get!) lasts me a looong time :)

and...the no-sentiment version you see in the middle
is how the tag looked initially - then i messed everything up when writing on the inside ;)

kind of coastal heart



this is my first* iron-on try (quite lucky i guess!)
-- just fyi, i used cotton with substantial lycra addition and it works perfect as well --
gal from this blog, photoshoped a bit
frame from leftover thick fabric by ikea (i've made a beach bag i'll blog about soon)

--------------------------------------------------

* i assume my epic fails as a kid in late 80s don't count ;)
there were ready made iron-ons available in shops, mainly popular brands' logos,
and my grandma wasn't happy to find out i ironed "Puma" 
(or actually just a portion of it...) onto one of her favorite blouses ;)))

digging, digging...


I made this wedding card 2 years back for a daughter of my mother's friend
grayish pattern paper: laser printed, made of some vector from the net

if I could find any really pretty heart-shaped die, I wouldn't have to cut hearts out by hand every time :)
by really pretty I mean slim, not too round, symmetrical yet dynamic... you know, really pretty ;)))

and I also hate making boxes ;D

one more heart

the very first one I've made from fabric other than felt actually
meaning: my mother kindly donated her old pants ;)

gift tag


(the font offers many diacritics, sadly not Polish ones, so I made up a tailed glyph using AI)

it surely says:  I love you
:)
