My Second Lickety Split
October 18th, 2009 Posted in SewingI am so fond of my Lickety Split bags – the one that I got from Rae at Made By Rae as well as the one I made from her pattern. That is why I made this for my mother-in-law’s birthday a little while ago.
It’s a gift card – for a custom made Lickety Split bag. This means that she got to choose the colour, and I went on to choose the fabric and make her the bag.
My mother-in-law decided on a purplish bag that would go with a felted wool jacket she just got for herself. Below you see the result.
The outer fabric is from Stof & Stil, and the fabric for the outer pockets and lining is from Malika & Rosa – this is actually fabric from Onion, the same Onion that makes many of the patterns I use. I was actually going to use this for the exterior of the bag, but the cotton quality was just too light for that. I do like the combination the way it turned out, though. So I followed the pattern instructions and added sew-in interfacing for padding the way I did with the one I made for myself. I also installed a magnetic snap at the opening, because it’s nice to be able to close the bag if you’re carrying a lot in it. I have missed this a few times in my own.
This has been my first sewing in quite a while, and I must say I’m happy with it – I just hope that goes for the recipient as well!

Smuk taske. Og en rigtig god idé med det gavekort. Jeg kan se du gør noget ud af det. Selv kortet er dejligt

I’m sure she’ll be delighted! I just love it! You are really inspiring me to get on making those bags I have in my queue of “Things to DO”!
Beautiful work.

The bag is really pretty.
It must feel good to get your hands busy again.
Hope she has a wonderful birthday.

Hej Astrid. Skøn taske og dejlig gave at få. Hjemmefabrikeret er nu altså dejligt og det giver jo en selvtilfredsstillelse når andre også kan lide det man laver.
Håber alt er vel hos jer. Man er jo ikke vant til at der så stille omkring dig,så jeg bliver så glad når der kommer et lille indl
æg nu og da.

Lena – tak skal du have!
Karen – I would love to see a Lickety Split made by you!
Emma – thank you – you’re so right, it felt great to be making something again. Now I really need to find time for more…
Annette – jeg tænker lyseblåt… Nu må vi se, om jeg finder tid til at fotografere og poste.
Jeannet – Tusinde tak for dine søde ord! Alt er vel, men det er hårdt, når Mads arbejder med køkkenet i al vores fritid, og jeg “har” børn og hjem. Men sådan er det – og der skal nok blive tid igen.

Lovely bag. Rae’s patterns are great. I have made two Buttercup bags and have the pattern to make her toddler back-pack, just waiting on supplies.

Hold da op hvor er den flot. Du syr simpelthen de smukkeste ting og du gør det hver gang. Af alle de smukt syende kvinder på nettet er du den der oftest får mig til at ønske mig en ny symaskine (der ikke hopper i stingene eller pludseligt syr baglæns…) og selvfølgelig evnen til at sy lige så smukt som du.

Millie – I haven’t tried other patterns than this one from Rae, but it is great! Maybe I should give the Buttercup a try?
Marina – tusinde tak, hvor er du sød! Så er jeg jo nødt til at henlede din opmærksomhed på, at gode symaskiner kan købes brugt – det gør investeringen vældig overskuelig (det var det, jeg gjorde)!
Og det med at sammensætte stof og så videre, det ville falde dig helt naturlig, tror jeg.
