This weekend I've been sewing. In the south of Norway they are sunbathing, but here in Tromsø the snow is still coming down now and then - perfect for staying inside creating new products. I liked making the ones I call "Have a nice trip" - three more done. I also made som of the small makeup-purses for salesmarkets later.

"God reise" / "Have a nice trip"
Her i Tromsø går vi nå inn i midnattsoltid og bildene er knipset rundt kl. 23 ikveld.
This week designer AnnAKa released two more patterns. I really like travelling and bought the one called "Have a nice trip", a folder for travelling documents. With all the needed stuff already in my sewingroom I could start at once. The folder measures 15 x 25,5 cm.
It' time for the "midnightsunperiod" in Tromsø and the photos were taken at 11 pm tonight.

"Spaniaveske" / "Purse for Spain"
Det har blåst og regnet i hele dag og da passet det godt med en innedag på syrommet. Jeg har sydd "Spaniaveske", et Bente Malm-mønster. Jeg brukte det jeg hadde av utstyr og byttet ut trykk-knapper med små biter borrelås til lukning. Mønsteret er greit å følge med gode tegninger underveis. Det blir nok flere etterhvert.
It has been a windy and rainy sunday and I've spent it in my sewingroom. This time I used a pattern designed by Bente Malm, Norwegian designer. She called it "Purse for Spain", a small purse for passport and travellingdocuments. There is a wallet, too, for the money. The pattern is easy to follow and with good drawings. I sure will make some more of these.

En smak av vår / A taste of Spring
Fredag kjørte jeg og søster Mona til Finnsnes i anledning konfirmasjonen til vårt yngste tantebarn. Heldigvis hadde vi tid til en liten stopp hos Arnhild på Stoff & Ide, Storsteinnes. Hun hadde fått inn noen nye stoffer som ble med oss heim. Jeg sydde tre sminkepunger i forskjellige størrelser tilpasset glidelås jeg hadde fra før. En liten porselensugle kjøpt i Birmingham fikk plass i glidelåsenden på den største. Eget design.
Last Friday my sister and I went south to Finnsnes to celebrate our youngest niece's confirmation. We stopped at a quiltshop called "Fabrics & Ideas", Storsteinnes. New fabrics inside and of course we had to buy...I made three makeup-purses in different sizes. The largest one got an owl (bought in Birmingham) at the zippers end. My own design.

"Supereasy" II
I've made two more "Supereasy" today. This is the medium size. Linen in pink and blue were waiting to be used and they matched perfectly together with some fabrics I bought at one of my latest quiltfestivals. The photos are printed from the computer and ironed on before the sewing. Both purses measures 11 x 20 cm.

Supereasy
Torsdag denne uka ble to nye mønster av AnnAKa utgitt. Toalettmappene "Supereasy" er både enkle å sy og har fin fasong. Jeg sydde den største av toalettmappene og en pillepung. Dette er fine gaver så det blir garantert flere.
Thursday this week there were two more patterns available from the Norwegian designer AnnAKa. "Supereasy" - toiletpurses are both easy to make and looks good. I made the biggest one and the smallest for pills, thumbles etc. These are great gifts and I'm sure I'll make some more soon.

Toalettmappe / Toilet bag
I siste "myQuilt" nr 2/2012 fant jeg mønster til denne toalettmappen. Den er ganske stor og med flere lommer utenpå og inni.
Dobbel vatt gir den fin fasong og gjør den svært stødig. Dekorstoffet i spreke farger kjøpte jeg for mange år siden.
Toalettmappen måler 11" x 7" x 4".
In the last issue of the Norwegian magazine "myQuilt" #2/2012 I found this toilet-bag. It's quite big with pockets both outside and inside. It measures 11" x 7" x 4".

Flere pengepunger / More moneybags
Tidligere har jeg sydd et par av disse pungene etter mønster fra Bente Malms "Små punger og brillehus". Det ble behov for en gave og i tillegg til den sydde jeg et par til. Kjekt å ha låsene liggende på vent...
Earlier I made these moneybags from a pattern designed by Bente Malm. Now I had to make one for a gift and while I was "on my way" I made two more.
