626 H2O to Go Sling (Lind's Handmade Designs)

Sometimes I buy adorable things and then justify it as a 'photo prop'...and this little Nuimo Stitch was too cute to resist! I feel like he makes a great model for the H2O To Go sling!

Hmm, who's this handsome fellow?

Wall-E Cross Body Bag and Zip It Janice Pouch (Sincerely, Jen)

Sometimes a simple bag is all that is needed to show off amazing fabric!  This panel from Backstitch Fabrics is so adorable, and was love at first sight for the customer!

Seriously cute stuff!

Pretty Mermaid Triple Zip (Sew Da Kine)

This purse was entirely for fun! I got the project pack #2 from Wizardry, Stitchery and Crafts and the only requirement was 'make something to go with the theme' so I got to run wild! The Triple Zip Crossbody from Sew Da Kine is so perfect for showing off the amazing zippers, and so fast to make!

Makes me wish I had a pool to use for a photo shoot!

Pretty Mermaid Allure (ChrisW Designs)

The first time I made the Allure from ChrisW Designs was when I was testing the pattern, and even though it came together pretty nicely, there are always a few tweaks and changes that result from the testing.  If I make a pattern often enough, I usually start to make my own changes and mental notes, but it's been a while so this was like a fresh new pattern!

Staring into your soul...

Wonderland Carry It All Tote Handbag Testing (DCE)

One of the benefits of being (almost) caught up is that I can jump at the chance to test a new pattern!  This is from a new (to me) designer (Daywalker Customs Embroidery), the Carry It All Tote Handbag and it turned out pretty sweet!

Mad Tea Party time!

Foolish Mortals Necessary Clutch Wallet (Emmaline Bags)

I don't share every single Necessary Clutch Wallet I make, mainly because a lot of them are Etsy orders and (nearly) identical.  This one definitely deserved sharing tho!  The foolish mortal fabric is so vibrant and fun, and it has been a while since I shared one of these wallets. ;)

I love the swing locks for a unique look!

Honorable Strapfield Convertible - ChrisW Designs (Pattern Testing)

I've been (im)patiently waiting for this pattern to be ready to test since before Christmas (when she first started teasing us) and it was worth the wait!  Of course, once she was ready, my orders picked up so I had to bust through it in about one day!

Probably my favorite quote of the movie

Mix It Up Necessary Clutch Wallet (Emmaline Bags)

The best part about doing custom orders is that I can make almost anything anyone can imagine! Want to show off multiple fandoms on one piece? I can do it!  Need a cross body strap? No problem!

The colors on this one are so pretty!

Cave of Wonders Hollyhock Hobo (Blue Calla Patterns)

This is the purse to match last week's Necessary Clutch!  The Hollyhock hobo from Blue Calla Patterns is a unique and fun design with lots of neat features.

Cave of wonders panel is amazing!

Tattspirational NCW

This project has been on my list forever, evolving over time as my bff changed her mind.  I finally gave her some priority when I had to do a few other NCW and it turned out even better than we had planned!

So inspiring! "Go Live Your Dreams!"

Mouse House Summit Sling

I was excited to finally have a reason to make this pattern, and it was everything I expected!  The Summit Sling from Cloudsplitter is a good sized backpack, but not too big!

Panel was sent by the customer, just barely fit!

WIP Thursday - Cruising Through the List

I went through my list this week and prioritized/grouped/panicked myself.  Now I have a better handle on what my deadlines are, what projects are still waiting for payment (and therefore at the bottom of the list), what projects are coming up, and how much coffee I will need to consume to stay on track. (no surprise - it's a LOT!)

Chip and Dale fabric is adorable!

Mane Attraction Speedwell Sling (Blue Calla)

The Speedwell is a fun sling bag, with a unique front design.  After making the first one, I was ready to tackle it again, and fortunately another customer came along that wanted one in these gorgeous Backstitch fabrics!

One of my favorite movies, even though I did watch it daily with my youngest for many months...

Oswald Triple Zip

I really thought I knew all the Disney characters, but I admit I am not familiar with Oswald!  That being said, he's kinda cute!  It's not often that I get an order for something I don't know at least a little bit about (except the newer toddler shows, most anime, some video games..ok, I can't keep up with EVERYTHING!), so this was a fun challenge!

He seems like a happy guy!

Magic Hours Pegasus (XOXO by Lauren)

The Pegasus is a fast and fun cross body bag, especially if you leave off the split pieces on the outside! It is great for showing off my awesome fabric and a good size for carrying just enough stuff without getting bogged down with the kitchen sink.

So many fun details in this fabric!

Teeny Backpacks

Sometimes I just need a change from the 'usual' things I make and I'll sneak in a new pattern or project.  The Fairy Lanterns was one project I did for a change of pace, and Teeny Backpacks were another!

Some of the recent ones

WIP Wednesday - Another Month Flies By!

Once again, my week/month is streaking past and I feel like I've done nothing but try to sew tiny things and dig through fabric.

Teeny backpacks are fun

Costumed Stitch Kenzie Cross Body Sling Style Bag (i Think Sew)

This bag was supposed to be a 'easy and simple zipper bag for a boy' but finding just the right pattern to use or hack turned out to be more difficult than I expected.  The main goals of the bag were something that would really show off the Stitch costume panel and be sized for a little boy.

Probably one of my most favorite of the costumes!

Mary Poppins Bag

Sometimes my customers send me fabric from their own stash, which only causes me a little panic because if I screw it up, there's no wiggle room!  Fortunately I did NOT screw it up and this one actually ended up super cute!

Practically Perfect

Coffee Princess Road Trip Wallet (Emmaline Bags)

I am jumping the line to share this adorable wallet because I love it!
