A little Bamboo Handbag

This was one of my first bags where I added the oval panel on the bottom. It worked so well that I have been able to make more without any trouble! I love this new bag.
This one was created from new fabric made to look vintage. Which is perfect for my niece's step-mom. She is a very vintage-retro woman, she lives and breathes the 1940's.

Toddler Christmas Dress

I love this little dress! But I cannot take any credit, my mother made this little beauty.

She even took the extra fabric and made a matching headband.

What a cute little collection of fabric, I love mixing and matching all the colors and patterns together...and showing my mom "Make it work!"

Sorry mom, but I only have a boy no girls here...

My little man...telling mamma to stop sewing for a little bit and play with him...okay I get it

Large Tote

This was another custom order for my boss, she travels a lot and needed to have a large enough bag to put all her items in...well there you have it, and a ton of pockets t'boot!

Birdi Bag in "Volumes"

This was a specail order for my co-worker who wanted this style for her trip to Disney World

She loves it! I darnnear kept it myself!...lol

Messenger Bag

This was a fun bag to make and I used new materials for the interfacing...thank you very much Matt for making a drive all the way to Seattle to get it!

Cuffs are here!

Ah finally they are here. I found a way to add some color to your everyday style!

Most of the cuffs are reversible.

Are you interested in a certain color, let me know.

Metal Clutch - 12in Frame

I wanted to try something new and I think I found it.

As I was searching the Internet I came across a 12" purse frame even though I needed to do some research on making a pattern it was still worth it.

But if you were to ask me when I was trying to push all the fabric in the frame with a Flathead...not worth it then...

However, I had my fun with this little bag and my friend who ordered it loved it.

I can imagine making this bag from an old wedding dress that someone can't wear but still would like to have it close to them...any takers???

Clutch anyone?

Well I finally found a way to use up all the extra fabric that I have sitting around, and I love my simple clutch design!
Great for those odds and end we all toss in our handbags.

Scooter

I've had this fabric for over a year and didn't know what to make out of it, and finally I did!
This one is for me! I love it! Great timing for fall.

Here is another new style, something cute and flirty, with adjustable straps of course!

Madison Bag

I just love the colors on this bag. This was not one of my patters, but instead it is
an Amy Butler pattern, Uptown with short Strap. Still very cute!
