Newspaper Bags and Stuffed Bunnies


Newspaper Bags and Stuffed Bunnies
Hiddy Ho Pussycats!
Well, I was on a mission Monday to get these
newspaper bags made and after some serious cut and paste...


I made 40 of them.
I will work on making some "waterproof" ones for the spring this week.
I may use something else entirely other then newspaper.

AND!
With Easter approaching I had to show you this seller on Etsy.....

Her shoppe is called Puncezilla and she is a Canadian gal in Edmonton.
I LUV her bunnies!!!!!


I am not sure which one I want except I would like one of each.


Very cute!!!


Have a great Thursday Pussycats!
Be in touch! Luv Weezi xoxoxoxox

Newspaper Shopping Bags and Procrastinating
Hiddy Ho Pussycats!
Well, we are snowed in today!!

I haven't even considered leaving the house.



I have been online all day putting off working on my patterns.

So, I have been listing the new pics from my brother on Facebook and Flickr
and thinking about making recycled Weezi shopping bags.

I want to come up with a bag for the store instead of buying those
awful and boring white shopping bags.

After much "googling" and thinking and looking online I
came up with the idea of making a shopping bag from newspapers.
We always have tons of them and I want to be good and use
recycled materials.
So, here is my first prototype...


I like how the first one came out. I can do them in many sizes....


I put a plastic grocery bag on the inside to keep the newsprint
off of your new Weezi purchase.

AND- I can use cardboard from empty boxes to reinforce the handles.


In this one there is about 4 layers of newspaper.

I can use fabric scraps for the handles.
You could use them again for something small and light.

Now, they won't last forever but they aren't supposed to.
The idea is give you a recycled bag when you purchase something at me studio
that you can use again a couple of times.
Take out the plastic and cut off the handles and the paper can
put in the blue box.


Now, the big question..
Do you guys like these Weezi bags?

What would you think if I put your Weezi purchase in this bag???
They aren't much good in the rain..but I could come up with a
plan B for that reason.

Anyhow...I would love some feedback from you.
Please let me know what you think.

Stay warm Pussycats!
Be in touch!! Luv Weezi ! xoxoxoxxo



Vintage Dresses to be Inspired by and Fittings
Hiddy Ho Pussycats!
If you are reading any of the "in the know" fashion blogs right now,
you know that Fall 2008 is what everyone is talking about.
But, because it is just me and my sewing machine
I work in the season not a year ahead.
I am still coming up w ideas and patterns for what I am
going to make next week.

These are the vintage patterns that I am being inspired by this weekend.



On the left side I like the mustard dress w the long sleeve ....
Looking at the McCall's on the right I like the blue dress.
I think this would make a nice top as well in a shorter version.
****

This Simplicity pattern on the left has me "all a buzz" with the buttons
on the white dress and I like the gingham pockets too.

I think I will do a long version of this one as well.

I know the one on the right is a maternity dress but I
want to tighten it up and turn it into a cute little babydoll dress.
This would be nice over capri's as well....hmmm the wheels are turning.
****

I bought this pattern on Ebay and have been dying to try it on someone.


Last night we had a impromptu photoshoot w my brother at the studio.
And, since as I had models handy...I whipped up some fittings quickly
and HAD to get Kelly to try this dress on.


It doesn't look very nice in this awful fabric!

But soon it will be quite the party dress....

Without the work sox of course!


I also wanted to revisit an old Weezi strapless dress pattern on Gaisha.
There has to be some sexy strapless dresses in the Weezi studio this summer!

So, I will busy this weekend doing pattern work....not my
favourite thing to do I must admit.
I am more of a sewing kind of gal...that is what I like the most.

Hope everyone has a great Friday!!
Happy March Break !!!
Come on in to the studio if you are kicking around downtown.

Be in touch! Luv Weezi!!!!!! xoxoxoxoxox

P.S. Remember to change the clocks tomorrow night.
