Sewing a jewellery travel case- a tutorial

Hello once again- back in summer I have made a case  for my jewellery because I am all about beads ;) it seams, and it is very hard to decide what exact piece to take with me on a trip, so I take quite a lot, depending on my outfits.... So it is very useful to make sewn jewellery holder...
You need:

• a sewing machine (or your hands and patience- alooot of) 
• scissors, aruller, thread, iron, zippers (optional)- I have made without
• scraps of material for posckets
• felt for embelishment
• the main material

So let's get going....
1. take anything what is a beautiful bigger scrap of fabric- I recycled my daughters unworn head scarf- these are cheap and colourful:

 2. Fold your material in half, take paper for pockets measurement if you have a special ruller and a rotary cutter- you just do it.

3. Take your scraps for pockets- I made 4 bigger and one smaller.

4. Cut them, sew right sides together, leave a small gap, take the outside out :)

5. Sewn they look like this, fpor contrast I bent the rim, and iron iron iron, it is the key...

6. Sew them nicely, first pin of course.

7. Sew a certain binding, I ironed before, use a very coordinating thread.

8. Pinb pin pin and sew

9. Here is the finished piece from inside:

10. Make felt roses and a tie from some strechy material.

And here it is:

PS My another sewing venture that I have done a tote bag :

Happy beading and making for next summer ;)

The fabric flowers necklace and some pictures of a countryside

Hi just a quick one here amidst all summer fun and heat (it is really hot here in Lithuania). I don't mind as long as I am by the water or in the water . It is a pity not enough   time to bead. ;(

This necklace is called "A White Garden" it was  a gift for my cousin (she is expecting a scond  baby) ;) I hope she will wear it ;)

 The netting detail is very easy to bead, the picture was taken by V.Velyviene

 1 row- the red circle (1- 15, 1- 11) I substituted the 15 for 11 and 11 for 8 The netting got chunkier from that :) If one wants a tiny variation better to use 15 number toho or Chech seed beads.

2 row- the blue and green circle- 3-15s, 1- 11, 3- 15s.

3 row a pearl or a swarowski between the 11ses. (Always repeat just the 2 and 3 row :)

Another set is called The Game so it is just another variayion of my beaded beads, it is a gift for another my lovely cousin :) I made polimer clay beads.

Here are just some pictures from my little vacation in Birzai:

Going for a run in heat :) on that day  6 km.

Everything is thriving and ripening :) Real apples and berries so rich and beautiful....

Organize the beads sort of a tutorial: some patchworking

I have noticed that so many beads could be just gone. I decided to make a bin for them, big enough, stress free. I glued the material around the can, so it  is just that. Now my orphan beads have a new nicer home on my desk.

 I reused the can .

 

Where do you put your left over beads? ;)
