SHORTS:

After looking for a suitable shorts pattern for ages, I decided to make my own! So I drafted a pattern from my favorite shorts, added some freehand changes and adjusted a bit as I went a long. Turned out just the way I wanted! The fabric is 100% wool, bought for 20 NOK / 2 GBP at Fretex (a charity shop). Perfect for cold and rainy days in Bergen, summer or winter...

BY PETCH:

My bag collection is now for sale! If you want one, visit Sanseliv at Bryggen i Bergen. You can also contact me by e-mail or leave a comment if you want to buy one, and I'll get back to you.

"BAG - by petch"

I have a part-time job in a small designer shop on "Bryggen" in Bergen. During the summer I also work full-time while the owner is on vacation. One of the great things about working there is that I get to sell my own designs in the shop! Right now I'm working on a collection of bags, made out of old fabrics. All the bags are made reversible, one side with pattern and one plain. I enjoy unusual combinations of colors, and all the bags are "one of a kind". Above is a random selection to show you the variety - what do you think?

Now I just need to order some metal tags with my brand name "by petch", before I can display them in the shop. So in a couple of weeks (hopefully) you can buy my bags from Sanseliv.

ALL WORK, NO PLAY:

For the past month I´ve been working full time as an interior designer, so that I can afford to pay rent and have some fun during the summer as well. And that means no time to be crafty! I´ve put together some of the photos I´ve taken lately, for you to look at while waiting for more creative posts. 





Enjoy the summer, people!
