Note to self

I'm making a shoe bag. It's my own design from scratch - no pre-made pattern -

and inevitably, weird mistakes occur (typically, it's the "what becomes inside out

when it should have been inside in when the bag is turned outside out" issue).


So I made this little poster as a reminder to think first, then think again, THEN sew:




Note to self: Learning from one's mistakes is a noble thing.
It's also time-consuming and exceedingly annoying.

I don't know if anyone has said this before, but if not, I take credit for it =)


I'll be back in 2012 with a "start of the year" post and (hopefully) a new shoe bag!

New collage

I just listed a new collage in my Etsy shop



©Trud Fagerheim/Dear Demoiselle 2011


(satin, embroidery thread and drawing on aquarelle paper)



This one is called "On My Coat Hanger" because I'm fond of old-fashioned coat hangers.


They just make clothes look better, don't they?
