My own design. It had red satin lining and vintage buttons!

Random crafty projects

A friend of mine bought this fabric and asked me to make several bags for her. In addition to these, there was also a makeup bag and a "travel tray." I've seen the idea a couple places, but didn't have a pattern. I winged it and put my own twist on the style. Next up will be my tutorial on the way I made the handles.

Lots of pictures

...to make up for my absence. A lot has been going on around here.

The inside of a bag I designed myself. Sold this to a co-worker after she admired a bag I made for myself. Pictures of that one later.

Outside of bag

Tassel I made because I couldn't find one to match. I asked the lady at JoAnn's for the shortest piece I was allowed to buy... 4 1/2 inches - LOL. That's enough for 3 tassels!

A little makeup bag I tucked in as a surprise for my friend. She'll find it when she opens the package I shipped.


Here's a quick pic of the climatis in my backyard. We're having a new patio put in and the landscapers are also going to clear out this bed. Not sure if they will be able to save this plant - one of the first we put in 12 years ago when we moved in.

One more, then I gotta make a few more gifts!

A quick bag from scraps. I loved the color combination, but I only had bits of each pattern. Mom loved it! Totally her colors.
Made this for a friend at work. She wanted a roomy gym bag and didn't specify any colors. I love this one too! LOL The little makeup bag was all that was left of the pocket fabric. I'm making the best of the 12 lb mystery box I bought from Fat Quarter Shop! (http://www.fatquartershop.com/)
This last one started out as a larger lunch bags fro one of my original customers. She fell in love with the bag I made for her sister, so they traded.
