One of my favourite projects from last year was this Bonjour Paris Tote, which I designed for Stitch Magazine. It has been published in the Spring 2012 issue. I love how it combines elements of patchwork, appliqué and embroidery. I even added a few sequins but they don’t show up too well in the photos.
My author copy of the magazine arrived this week. It is a lovely issue filled with 36 inspiring projects for spring. It features projects from some of my favourite designers: Ayumi Takahshi, Penny Layman, Malka Dubrawsky, Rachel Hauser, and many more.
It is no secret that Sarah and I love everything French! We were lucky enough to live in France for a year (close to Versailles), and I dream of when I can return. We have just started a Pinterest board of French Inspired Projects and will be adding more Parisian inspiration if you would like to check it out.
