български малко по-надолу :)
I have always been in love with crafts and fine arts. Sewing is among those passions that I had put in hibernation for a long time before rediscovering it again recently.
I had my first attempts at sewing during my middle and high school years. My creations at the time included accessories, dresses for dolls and even a piece or two of clothing for me. However, I didn't have the proper equipment at the time - just a plain old sewing machine my mum owned. I didn't feel very at ease with it and wasn't its greatest fan.
Just a few months ago I finally managed to buy my very own sewing machine. It was like an encounter with fate. :) And I am diving headfirst into the whirlpool of sewing.
Here is the very first story coming from the singing motor: about how my first attempts led to a (re-)discovery of a beautiful, exciting world for me. See below the first simple things that were born during the past few months.

Пре-откриване: Шиене
Винаги съм била влюбена в творенето с ръце и сърце. Шиенето е измежду тези страсти, които бях сложила на режим хибернация за доста дълъг период преди да ги преоткрия отново.
Първите ми опити в шиенето бяха в прогимназиалните ми години. Създадените от мен неща по това време включваха разни аксесоари, рокли за куклите и дори някоя и друга дреха за мен самата. Но нямах подходящите инструменти тогава - само една стара машина, притежание на майка ми. Но определено не бяхме "на ти" с нея.
Само преди няколко месеца най-накрая се сдобих с моя собствена машина. Беше като среща със съдбата. :) И сега се потапям стремглаво с главата надолу във водовъртежа на шиенето.
Ето я най-първата история, излязла от пеещия мотор: за това как моите първи опити доведоха до (пре)откриването на един красив вълнуващ свят. Следват историйки за първите простички неща, родени през последните няколко месеца.

One of the first fabrics I bought was a curtain from a second-hand shop with lovely blossoms in peach pink. I am determined to create a lot of beautiful and in the meantime meaningful up-cycled things as it is so fulfilling to know you are contributing even a tiny bit to a more sustainable life.
So for my very first 'production' I decided on something relatively simple and very functional - a phone case and a cosmetic bag. I found the inspiration for the pouch at Pattydoo, a lovely German blog dedicated to sewing. The tutorial leads you to the final stitches so easily. :) I only changed a bit the measurements and made it smaller.
The phone case is inspired from this iphone wallet tutorial and pattern, by My 3 monsters blog. I just loved the idea of a sturdy back for the phone and a flipping front. I left out the wallet part, maybe I will use it some other time. :)
