fruBUJO - April 2017

April was my very first month in the BUJO world. After looking for one billion inspiration site I decided to design my first month in art-deco. Near to our flat there are a lot of old buildings and anyway that age with swing and Poirot is maybe my favourite one.

I made photos everywhere where I saw an interesting piece of buildings - a window, a balcony, a balustrade...

Than I started to convert them to BUJO items. Sometimes more sometimes less successfully...

I made a site for remember to ring up my old friends:

That's a poem from the Hungarian poet Arpad Toth from the 1920's: about dawn in the city centre- where I am living. I draw buildings which I see every day from my window or on the way going to work every day.

That was a short memory on the day when we started to learn Lindy-Hop:

summer dress for girls

I made this dress just yesterday for my daughter. I have been keeping this light linen fabric for years and now I find out the perfect purpose for it: It was really easy and quick to sew it, no pattern needed. Just measure the width and length of your daughter and let's go: 1. For the ruffle I cut two 18*75 cm long strips 2. I seamed it with sewing machine 3. I rolled up the fabric to make the hem: 4. I rolled up the upper side to but with a longer hem to the rubber band: 5. Pattern to the lower part is very easy I made it for myself - a trapeze with two cuts for the arms: 6. Finish the lower part with hems 7. It's all:

Now, she is ready, my Lizzy... She is wearing a casual dress, maybe by walking in the forest or by visiting the pastors wife on a nice afternoon... Steps from the beginning:

fruBUJO - May 2017

May wasn't a successful bujo-month. When I was looking for new theme for the month May I explored "sachico" on Pinterest. Sachico is a Japanese quilting art. I was - actually I am- found of it. Love at the first sight: So I decided to translate quilting to graphic and create sachico items for my BUJO. But finally I wasn't satisfied. It looked just like a lot of dots and lines. Well, basically that would be graphic itself - dots and lines used in a unique way. But in my sachico-translation I am missing the texture of yarn and fabric, I am missing the soul.
