I made this bag for my mom to give to my sister for her birthday. I let her choose which of my patterns she wanted me to use & the colors, but I didn't let her see what fabric I picked out until I was done.
She wanted a large bag to fit all of the things she likes to carry & she wanted it to be made of denim. I added lots of pockets to it, so she can be very organized. She loved how it turned out!
I made this bag from my "Carol Tote" pattern.
This is a "special" hobo bag. I used the same pattern that I've made my other "hobo" bags from, but I added padding in this one. I made it specifically so I could put this bag in a larger purse when my husband & I took a trip to Chicago back in September. I didn't want to lug around my purse & a camera bag, so I made a purse large enough to hold all of my necessities plus my camera & lens.
I made the lens cozy for the same purpost, but I made the pattern for this one from scratch.
If you would like one of these custom made, please email me at: chelscraps @ yahoo.com. Indicate colors/prints that you would like.
The camera cozy is $10 & the lens cozy is $6. Both will include padding & a lining of waterproof material.
This lens cozy shown is a large size, for a longer lens (up to 6.5" long). You can also order a small cozy (for lenses up to 4" long). Please indicate if you need a regular size or a wide size (for full-framed cameras/lenses).
Trisha is a friend of mine from church. Actually, I first met her when she was a student teacher for my oldest daughter's choir class a few years ago. Then when we moved back in March we ended up in the same ward and I got to know Trisha while we were both in Primary together. She just moved down to St. Maarten last week for her husband to go to medical school. I already miss her!
She asked me to make her a ruffly apron. She gave me a picture to base it on, so this is what I came up with. It's defintaely not perfect (shh, don't look too close), but it was my first time making an apron and I did make my own pattern for it. I loved the prints she picked out, so fun!
I've got a lot of catching up to do here. I was very busy with school this Fall, and although I haven't posted here for several months I did get some crafting in. I just didn't have time to post my projects here. So now that I'm done with school I plan to get caught up with showing you all the fun crafts I've made in the last few months.
These first two projects I made with some ladies from church. We get together every couple months & make some fun, seasonal projects. I had a Halloween & Thanksgiving craft too, but forgot to take photos of them before I packed them away.
This last one I actually made probably about 12 years ago, back when I was doing a lot of tole painting. This is probably one of my favorite nativity's that I display at Christmas time and it's the only one I've made.
I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and found time to spend with family and loved ones.
This bag is for sale in my Etsy Shop. It is 11" wide at the bottom and 9" wide at the top x 11" high x 5.5" deep (front to back). The strap is 32" long. There is 1 zipper pocket and 1 slip pocket.
