Some new bags.

So, or should it be sew?  Anyway, since the show, I have actually been sewing even more and totally enjoying it.  I think it is because I feel I got such a positive response. There could not have been that many people just feeling sorry for me right?  trust me - I am right.

I am now overwhelmed with everything I want to create.  I had sewn vintage clip on earrings onto some of these small wristlets I had made.  They were a big hit!  Now,I want to sew them onto everything - they really were that cute.  I won't but I would like too!


Damn, just tried to put a photo up, but only have it on my phone. So now I am going to put up some of the vinyl one's I have been working on. Those were a big hit too, not sure why - it is clear vinyl over fabric. Super easy to keep clean i guess is the attraction. Here they are.





This last one leaves a little something to be desired I think, just can't get it right yet, the curve is throwing me for a loop.

So the next one is a great big bag that I adore!!! I made it in white/blue also.  I think I have some yellow cut out also.

Isn't that awesome?  Think of how cute you would be in pictures hiding behind this behemoth!  Love it!  One of the girls I did the show with is making me a big flower out of red/oranges polka dot fabric to go over the flap.  There will be riots over owning this!

So here is just a couple more for your viewing pleasure!



Okay, any suggestions?  I have to figure out a way for you to see the wristlets!  Really will love them!





The Crafty B's of Bexley Trunk show was a huge success!

So the Trunk show that the Crafty B's hosted this weekend went great!!  We had so many friends, family, neighbors and strangers show up and I honestly think they were wowed by our collective work!  It was fun to work with a group of ladies to plan this who have had similar concerns and thoughts all along the way also! 
My dad made these awesome "trees" for us to showcase our work in the windows of the space we used, hopefully soon I will have photos of those to share!
I met multiple other inspiring sewers during this event!  I wish I had written down their names, but am hoping to run into them again soon, they all live in Bexley too so I think there is a good chance I will.
As always when preparing for a show, I got overwhelmed with all my fabric and pattern choices, but have a ton of new ideas I can't wait to get started on! Hopefully I will be posting photos soon, I have a couple on my facebook page so check those out for now!

Real Quick

Hi all,
Just wanted to real quick bring you up to date on some bags I have recently made and let you know that Me and the Crafty B's are hostessing a Trunk Show this weekend.  See my facebook page for detailed details!  I have been cutting up a storm on bags and vintage pillow case dresses!  Now I need to sew up a storm.  Sewing seems to take so much less time - in my mind anyway. 
I made the following for my girlfriend's daughters to give to their "big sis/little sis" dancing friends before their competitions last weekend.  The Glam Bag was for a 10 year old who's favorite color is turquoise.  the yellow bag was for a 17 year old who's fave is yellow.  I think they ended up hitting the mark - if I knew what the mark was:).

So enjoy the photos!  Let me know what you think!
