Dragon curtain for Miro and Marta

Dragon curtain for Miro and Marta

Commission from my friends. They wanted the dragon batic to cover a make shift wardrobe. It was too small. Adding plain cloth just wouldn't work here so we needed something extra loud so the gold borders were perfect. They had all the materials which was bought in Bali.

Until the next time. ciao …i can be contacted at juunta@gmail.com for enquiries.

Monk's bag

Monk's bag

My friend Lina commissioned a copy of her favourite bag, a Monk's bag.

The fabric is dark charcoal grey hemp, with light wool lining. The original was more of a sling bag, with a very simple design. A design originating from a temple for the monks it was made to be reproduce easily with very little waste of fabric. Standard width of panels were used with lining, so the desired length cut out. the original has only 4 lined panels. I find this quite interesting.

Hemp which is much thicker than the original, had "problematic" seams because it becomes really thick when sewn together and can make the bag look really bulky. I've solved this by using the lining as much as possible.

Modifications include the length of the bag handles which is shorten to a tote length. The original (in the foto) had already been shorten (roughly tacked). The size of the bag lengthen. A zip has been on the top.

The zip was practical but i couldn't keep the simplicity of the design. It became closer to a standard/mass produced model …oh well…

I tried making this as brief as possible but still coughed out so much text. ^^;;

Until the next time <3

Sun dress in the middle of winter (๑•́ ₃ •̀)

I bought a wonderful dress in Bangkok a few years ago. This is a modified copy; all the problems fixed ^^;; I kept the simple design; 2 side pockets, no zip & the elastic waist. It's made with a lot of ease 1 size up this roughly a L instead of M (my size). I added 20cm to the length & gave the skirt an A-line cut.

The fabric was from a collection given to me, it's a polyester printed in dark blue.

I will be wearing as part of the many layers i have on in winter.

Lathe cover /Copritornio

This lathe cover (copritornio) is made of black water-proof fabric. (lathe is a metal working machine) It serves 2 functions: to protect it from rain coming in from rain; to prevent injury of the person sitting next to it. The lathe is next to Roby's(my hubby's) work desk. He has friends to discuss work and they sit right there…………

those knobs are dangerous!

3 layer knob cover -placemat, polyester stuffing & rubber matt did the trick!

This cover has the oddest possible but wasn't too difficult to finish. It was quite interesting to make. I can be contacted at the usual email address for more information.

Spring 2012 update: Juunta's made to measure 2

This is another made to measure order for medieval pants/tights Braghe. All the materials are provided by my client. Fabric used: Wool felt. It is a costume made for enactment of medieval battles worn together with the Farsetto (medieval jacket) in suits of armour and all the weaponary. ^__^

The ribbons are for placement only. Laces with bronze tips are used instead.

The belt is inserted inside with the fastening in front like a normal belt.

This was pattern has a bias cut for stretch purposes. This is not as difficult as the Medieval jacket- Farsetto I made last year, as it is mostly machine sewn.
