On a roll...


Since I created an apron for my son, I decided to share my creations at the local store just down the road from me. I am on a roll now! The apron will fit toddlers 2-4 years old. I haven't settled on a price yet...I am just on a sewing kick right now!

Toddler Apron


I made this for my son. He love to cook with mommy and daddy, but all the apron's I found in the store were for little girls. So I ended up making him one. And he loves it - Trains of course!

Mother's Day Gift

I made this little bag for my Nanny in Montana. I know she will love it. I added ceramic buttons on either side of the bag. I can't wait till she gets it!

A bag for Ruth


My instructions were, "I need a black bag like Katie's where I can toss everything in it, bright colors for the inside"
This is what I created. I think it fits her personality. I love it, and the material on the outside has a flower print black on black very subtle but a nice look.

Little bugs


My mother in law came over with this fabric and asked me to make her a bag. This is a cute little summer/spring bag, I actually had a lot of fun making this one. I hope she likes it!

Wallet



I created this cute wallet out of some scraps I think this is going to be a fun item to add to the bags I am already creating.

For my mamma!


My mom needed a black handbag. So unbeknownst to me, my mother bought this fabric and asked me to sew it...so this is what I created. And as I was posting this picture I noticed I forgot the button. But I will quickly add that and then hand it to my mom on mothers day.

Laptop cover


My family was running in the 100k Pullman Relay and my son was coming. I was planning on bringing my laptop since I can plug it in my car, but I didn't have a cover for it...so I quickly sewed one right before we took off...an hour later and VOILA!

Chic Diaper Bag




I created this bag out of Tina Givens line, there are four pockets inside and one zipper pocket on the opposite side. One cell phone pocket on the strap. This is a fun bag to carry around diapers and still look hip and young!

Make-Up Bag


This little travel bag was created from some scraps and vintage gross-grain ribbon and an orange zipper from the 60's.

Orange Tote

A nice comfy tote with 4 pockets inside and a magnetic snap for the closure. Measures 20" wide and 10" high.
I used an antique red button from the UK, 1950's, and a cream lining which is lined with interfacing for stability and top-stitched.

Gonzaga Tag Blanket



Here is a cute blanket for a little girl. There are fun silky ribbons for Payton to rub when she is ready to take a nap. This blanket is made out of 100% cotton which has been pre-washed. On the reverse side I used white fleece, which is a very soft fabric.

GU Bag for Angela!






Angela contacted me and asked if I would create a diaper bag and a Diaper Bag On the GO! How could I say no? Anyways, she wanted the GU material on the outside so I used a bottom weight blue for the lining for more stability and SUCCESS!

Little Clutch

Finally a handbag for myself! I was able to squeeze in a couple of hours and get this beauty done. Now there are some adjustments I would like to make...but you done need to know all about it! I just wanted to show my work!

My Madison Bag


Finally a bag for myself. This was created from Amy Butler's collection. Not that hard to create, but would like to make a couple more to get the stitching down.

Handbag for Erin




My sister's birthday is coming up and she desperately needs a new bag. She is the type of person who will wear the bag out till it dies and crawls away into the forest. Since her birthday is coming up I thought I would dip into my stash of fabric and see what I can come up with and here it is!

I used a wool plaid for the outside (old Halloween material from a pirate costume I made for a friend) And a cotton print for the lining - I know what you are thinking...dogs!? Well my sis, God bless her, loves...loves dogs and she is always rescuing them and then loving them so much she keeps them. So I thought it would be cute to have something personal in her special handbag.
