Four peas in a pod, well, almost

Still in the reversible tote kind of mood and venturing into pricier cotton linen blends from Japan and Korea. I'm becoming a big fan of Nesshome. Wonder if they have stuff on sale this Black Friday or Cyber Monday?

I'm wondering too, whether to keep the second from the left for myself. This is a very interesting piece of fabric, almost like a painting. I only have a half yard of this and am not able to get anymore. There'll be two reversible totes and both have different prints. How cool is that!

Have a blessed day!

ps: I'll be going to VivoCity for the fireworks tonight. I hope it won't rain. 

Do you believe everything's that in print?

Reversible tote (ice cream on one side, organic butter on the other).

Disclaimer: I've not tried this recipe but if you would...

9 eggs

2 tbsp vanilla

1 cup heavy cream

3 cups sugar

dash of salt

1/2 gal/ to 3 gls Milk

Beat eggs until very frothy. Use your electric mixer. Add sugar, vanilla, salt and 1 qt. of milk. Continue to beat.

Pour into 1 1/2 gal/ old fashioned freezer.

Gently stir in cream and whatever amount of milk is necessary to make the freezer the right fullness for freezing, according to freezer manufacturer. Pack with crushed ice and rock salt and freeze.

Use vanilla according to taste.

Is the grass really greener?

If you scroll down a bit, you'll see the other side of this tote. The pasta one. Pasta and cheese.

I used to take multiple views of one item and collage them. Then I realised that the pics were too small and just took one but this tote has a different front/back so it merits another post.

:-)

I would like some Carbonara, please?

DS does a mean Carbonara. He likes it with the Fairprice back bacon (less fat) and San Remo vegeroni spirals. I like it when DS prepares it, I just don't like the mess after, LOL!

Nesshome print (pasta and cheese). I didn't take a pic of the cheese. DS chose it to go with the pasta. Fully lined with panel of pockets inside. Double handles again. I'm starting to like double handles though it means I have to restock my webbing soon.

Have a blessed morning!

Pink, Pinker or ?

I like selvedges.

Some are so pretty, like this one from Nesshome. Can't remember which print this was but it surely wasn't the colourful strips. The colour circles don't match.

This is going to be a pouch / pencil case. Problem now is, I can't decide which pink to use. I'm thinking leftmost. What do you think?

Have a blessed morning!

I like these zips. I like them for the flexibility in length since I bought them by the yard. Bought 18 colours! Lol! Only two things I'm not happy with are that there aren't matching zipper pulls for each of the colours (I only bought silver and antique bronze pulls) and that it takes a fair bit of effort to put the pull on.

WIP: Reversible Totes

It's been such a long while since I made this. So long that I lost the template. Managed to find one unsold reversible tote and used that to draw a new template. Incidentally, it fits on a single drawing block back. LOL!

Lost template but found...Nesshome fabric! The browns that you see; one bag will be coffee (cup and beans) and another will be tea (leaves and teapot). I like Nesshome fabrics, printwise and texture.

Anyway, these are still works in progress. I'll need to go buy coordinating threads for top-stitching.

Have a blessed afternoon!
