New In: Velvet Make-Up Bags / Clutches

So my last post was about the satin zipped pouches I've been making, and I did mention that I'd be making some bigger ones. Well here they are! I decided to make a few with some polyester velvet fabric I've held onto for so long, and I'm so pleased with how they've turned out. They're slightly bigger than the coral and green ones I made, and they would make great clutch bags for the evening or even make-up bags.

The magenta ones would look amazing with an all-black outfit as they're so simple but definitely stand out in the light. And I think the gold ones would make perfect bridesmaid gifts. I might soon be expanding the range and making them in more colours and sizes so keep an eye out. These are available to buy on Etsy and are £10 each, bargain! Make sure to visit my Etsy store and see what else is available! xo

New In - Zipped Pouches

As a creative soul who sometimes gets bored so easily, I always have new ideas that I get excited about. And I'll be the first to admit that I don't always finish a project if I feel as if it's not right for me. But this week I decided to make these zipped pouches as I've been itching to get back on my sewing machine after spending so long designing and painting. I've not worked on a project like this in such a long time, and I really don't remember the last time I even sewed a zip.

So as you can imagine the first one was a bit tricky as I had to double check that I was following all the steps correctly, and I felt like I'd been sewing for aaaaages. But when I made the second one I realised that it didn't take half as long, and I quickly got the hang of sewing and putting in the zipper. To be honest I just wanted to try them out and get used to sewing again as I'm planning to make a few of these with my own prints, but I actually really love these two colours. I think they'd go really well with a lot of things, and can be used for both daytime, evening and even just for storing makeup and jewellery in.

These are available to buy in my Etsy shop here. I am planning to make some bigger clutches soon, so let me know if you have any requests. I'd love to make these in a variety of colours but I am taking it one step at a time. If you like this product then make sure to purchase before I nab one for myself (highly likely). xo

Announcement!

Hey guys. Hope you've all had a great weekend. I've had a very busy and productive past couple of days. I have finally opened up an Etsy shop. This was something I had wanted to do for such a long time, but something I just never got round to. A few of my limited edition art prints are available here. Although if there is another illustration you fancy on my website sukisabur.co.uk you can email me sukisabur@hotmail.com or drop me a message and I can get it made in the required size.

I have also added some plain greeting cards which come in a pack of 3 and feature a selection of my illustrations. You can view my shop here. These would be perfect for your little girl's bedroom or in your corridor. As art that adds a girly touch to your home, no matter what age, I'm sure you will know atleast one lovely lady in your life who will love this!
