From the sewing machine to the real world 🤍

These two cross-body bags were made to order for two little girls, stitched with extra care and all the small details that make handmade feel special.

You might recognise the fox from my last video – now here he is, all finished and ready, with his hippo companion by his side 🦊🦛

I do take custom orders.
Bags like these are $50, or $55 with a name ironed on.

Slow, thoughtful making, one order at a time.
Made to be worn, loved, and taken on many adventures 🧵✨

Meet Flossy’s new sidekick!

This handmade maxi pouch is one of my favourite items — this one has soft pink fabric, a sweet doodle-embroidered bear, and a personalised name pressed on with love (and a very hot iron 😅).

I hope Flossy gets heaps of joy out of it. Perfect for treasures, snacks, hair ties, secret notes… you name it.

Handmade, a little quirky, and definitely one of a kind — just how I like them. 💛

Today’s project in fast-forward: a teddy bag tag 🧸✨
Design lovingly shared by .

Funny how these little plushies look so simple… and then you start making one and realise it is definitely a “many steps, many threads, many coffees” situation because they are kind of addictive to make. 😅✂️

But once that final stitch hits? Pure joy.
Cute, soft, and ready to hang on any school bag.

Here is a little sneak peek before Friday rolls around!
These pouches have been slowly taking shape between everyday chaos — a bit of sewing here, a bit of ironing there, and plenty of coffee in between. Now they are finally ready, and I am so happy with the mix of colours, textures and those cheeky little sayings. There are plenty to choose from!

From Chaos Coordinator to Glückspilz, each one has its own personality, and I love watching people pick the one that suits them best. If you are after something handmade, practical and with a hint of humour (and a dash of German charm), come by the market and have a look in person.

Only two more days — ich freu mich drauf! ✨👜

Perfect little Mitbringsel 🇩🇪🎄 — you know, that magical German word for “a tiny gift you bring so you don’t show up empty-handed and look unhöflich (rude).” 😉

These cute creations are machine-embroidered felt gingerbread houses and trees, wrapped in fluffy “snow” with a sneaky chocolate ball hidden inside. 🍫✨

Sweet, simple, and guaranteed to make someone smile — or just treat yourself, absolutely no judgement.

Frohe Weihnachten aus Melbourne! 🎅🏼💚

Getting market-ready for Friday’s Christmas fun – and yes, my embroidery machine is basically my very own Christmas elf, humming away and doing the magic while I supervise. 😉🎄

Getting market-ready and feeling a tiny bit chuffed 🎄✨

My new doodle-embroidered zipper pouches (design by the fabulous ) are finally finished — cute enough for little treasures, tough enough for everyday kid-chaos.

Perfect as stocking fillers, school-bag buddies or a secret spot for tiny treasures.
