It's no secret to regular readers of this blog that I'm a fan of Gudrun Sjödén's fabric and clothing designs – last year I was voted Gudrun's Most Colourful Woman in London at the launch of her first UK store. I was therefore delighted to get my hands on some beautiful eco-cottons from her Home furnishing collection. Made from organically grown cotton, these fabrics have a lovely dense weave and are smooth to the touch. They cut beautifully and crisply and were a pleasure to sew on my machine.I made two quilted ukulele gig bags using a combination of Zigzag material in bright pink and Rita eco-cotton in spice green. I had enough left over to make two ukulele appliqué book bags – the perfect size for carrying Gudrun Sjödén catalogues.
If you like the results go here
to have a look at Gudrun's online shop which is packed with
wonderful new print designs from her Spring 2013 collection. I covet
everything in the fabulous Cirkus triangle motif fabric and am saving up for a Glimmer raincoat!

Åsa at Gudrun Sjödén
Thank you Åsa! Yes of course, I'd be happy for you to post a picture on the Gudrun Sjödén FB page.
Best wishes, Daniela
Oh...I think I'm in LOVE!!! I would love one of those bags but I need a hard cover. We have 90 members in our uke club and I would be concerned that someone would stand on it after a few bevies.
UKE Can't stop the music!!!!

90 uke club members sounds like a lot of fun! I concede that sometimes a hard case IS necessary... ;D
