A Set of small precious

Good news after my house has been under water, I have taken my mind off the news by creating these precious little purses and keyrings.

I am be careful because the resupply material is going to become tight. This set has 2 key pouches and 1 small purse.

Just want to show you how small my little purse is.......

Addition pictures how I did an applique purse, after I did an applique sheet I quilt 3 sheets together.

This binding's  done by hand stitched around of the quilt – approx 0.5 cm. inwards.

Second move to Bangkok

After we've changed many plans, we decided to go back to Bangkok so I can get our dog to stay with us in our condo but my rabbit have to stay with a lady who looked after them before (my husband is an allergy to rabbit hair). The hardest for everyone is we really dont' know what the best plan for us, lots of people are moving out off Bangkok.

It's not flood in center of Bangkok yet so my husband has to work and we all stay together until the governor inform us to move. I really don't like uncertain situation but I have to live with it. While we drove back we tried to stay on motorway it turned to be an outdoor car park. Lots of people left their car on carriageways.

Finally we are all (include my dog) settle in a studio condo. I haven't start my new work yet I was very sick from yesterday because the air traffice was very busy we had to fly over around 20 minutes before landed. My dog is very happy to be here, she likes the company. Behind my dog they are piles of water we stocked, it's very difficult to buy water right now.  I definitely understand the expression "Money can't buy everything".

I was too sick to do any more work so take a picture is another way to relax.

This piece is a telephone pocket. Much easier to do, but the front and rear cover then stitched with leather clasp.

Next is an applique cosmetic bag, It's felt applique for bunny.

my family illustration

Just want to show you a set of illustration I did last year, I have a plan to do an applique collage for them. They are my great memories and transfer to fineart work.

We've lived in Chiang Mai for 3 years before we moved to Bangkok, I love Chiang Mai, it's great place for craft. My favorite place was Warorot Market, I could find everything I want for reasonable price and it's 5 minutes from where I lived. I will visit my frinds after Xmas I can't wait.

A trip away from Bangkok

We're going to Centara Pattaya for the weekend to avoid the flooding issues in BKK, then the children and I will get on a plane to the saftey of North East Thailand on Sunday evening. I feel a little sad, I'd like to take our pets with us but we cant' drive because some roads are flooded. I have left them with a kind neighbour to look after them...

This is an applique clipper purse, you can see many small purses in my showroom. What do you think of this character?  You can see my work is not as neat as I want it to be, my mind wasn't in the zone but I have to keep making it to take my mind off current stress.

Many people asked me to share how to do bags from the Japanese craft book, I will do it after I go home (all my books are there). It would be nice if  you can share your ideas of which ones you'd like to do. Please contact me by e-mail address or my facebook at Premravee Hill.

This design has more space on the bottom so it's good size to keep coins in.

Applique key pouch and purse

We're having big flooding in Thailand and made me have to be prepare when water comes to Bangkok. I have 2 children so you could imagine how panic I am right now.

I definately moved all my fabrics, books and tools up to second floor and we will stay in my mum's house for a while. My poor husband has to stay in Bangkok but he told me if the situation is bad he will go to see us.

I've never seen so much water like this before, it's flooding everywhere... This set I finished them a week ago but I wasn't feel exited to post them. I wish everyone who having problem of flooding have a good night sleep......

I used cotton-linen as a background, an applique sheet was a bit complicate and small details... I like colours they are so sweet. This applique set has keyring and purse.

How to make an applique digital camera bag

I've been blessed to find another side of myself that I've never known before.  Lots of my old friends can't believe I'm doing all these cute treasures. I'd like to thank my husband and children for being my biggest fans. Every piece I finish is met with compliments. Now I'm working towards my own style and signature to be easily recognisable as my own work one day.

In the last couple months I started to do more work, every peace I do still excites me.  I've been using Shinnie style but play with my favorite images and colours. I hope you will like them too.

I've seen lots of people search for how to make handbags so I'll show you a simple way to make an applique digital camera bag.

Let's start, here is applique sheet I did before

Next I stitched 3 pieces together, the applique sheet, polyester sheet and lining fabric.

 I stitched around character to give some more 3rd dimemsion.

This is how it looked when it's done.

I put more stitch outside a character.

Then cut to shape you'd like and put binding on.

Next I did back sheet, I'd like patchwork to make this work a bit more colorful.

Repeat like a front sheet, I put a handmade slyle toggle on the top and stitched 2 piece together.

Then put a zip on the bottom of a bag

Now it's done I put a bow and button on a bunny to decorate.
