Fly Away Home...zzzz

My mom is obsessed with birds...her house will fly away soon with all the birds in her house.
Back to the sewing, when I saw this fabric I knew my mom needed it...yes I am supporting her habit. Well I hope she will like it, wait I know she will!

Adult Apron

I was asked by my Hair Stylist to create a cute black apron. The one she has now is made from rubber and makes all her clothes icky by the end of the day. After some time I found this cool fabric for the liner which is water-proof and light weight, of course it is lined with black so it is hard for the picture to see it, but it is there.
I hope she likes it!

The Everyday Brown Bag

While in Portland and visiting a cool little fabric shop I found this cool fabric. Since I don't have a brown bag I made this one for my everyday use...well until I create a new one. LOL

Two pockets on the inside

Two snap closures

Cool in Blue

When I was in Portland OR visiting my cousin she took me to this super cute little fabric store. In addition, for running my first half marathon my husband rewarded me with a little shopping spree and this is just some of the cool fabric I picked out. Now if you look close you can see a hint of red in the blue fabric. So COOL! Anyways, this is the design I thought up for myself.
Inside I have 3 pockets, 1 zipper, and 2 small pockets.
Thank you Jamie! (Maybe I should call this bag "Jamie")

Expandable

Expandable messenger bag! This is a custom design by my friend Tara C. She needed to have a larger bag with the fabrics she hand picked for her baby who is due Jan 2010.

The best thing about this bag are the never-ending pockets. I sewed 6 inside with the contrasting fabric, 1 zipper on the back with a flap hiding it, 1 pocket on the front flap, and on the front of the bag under the flap 2 pockets and a pen pocket. Whew!

Here is the side profile of the expandable bag when it is tied up

Here is the bag when it is not cinched up - I can't wait to make myself one of these bags - and it is a large bag!

Made some pillowcases

My mother asked me to make this for her stepdaughter. She is a bit emo and it also helps that she has the swallow tattoos on her hips.
My mother also asked me to make these pillowcases for her stepson-in-law. He is also is very much into emo and tattoos.

Finally something for me! I have been struggling with colors for my bedroom and I found this! Thank you mom! Birds and orange! Yes I am weird.

My son picked this material out for his baby-sitter. I hope she likes it. (I had to convince my son she might not like cars, or trucks)

Little Sister's Messenger Bag

My little sis wanted a bag a LONG time ago...good thing I waited since she was in a bike wreck...it would have been destroyed! So now she has this wonderful bag undamaged which she can use.
1 pocket in the lid and two in the bag of the bag. There is a key-clip inside and a zipper pocket inside. There is a magnetic snap for the closure.

Cars Bunting

Yes this was a must for my son's birthday party, until a week before when he decided to have a pirate party. Well I didn't have time to make the pirate buntings I wanted so I just used these...nothing like having a Pirate and Lighting McQueen Birthday party!

Blue and Yellow Bunting

Be a friend to your scraps and turn them into cool buntings! I used Amby Butler fabrics to create this cute bunting...what should I use it for...so many options...I will have to get back with you...baby showers, party's, decoration for a summer BBQ...

Pink Bunting!

What to do with all those scraps...Buntings! Perfect for those birthday party's or holidays. 100% cotton and machine washable.

Yes please~!

When I saw this fabric I dang near rolled on the ground laughing. My mother-in-law has a cowboy theme in her spare bedroom and I just couldn't pass this up. So as a surprise I will be sending this to her. I know she will laugh. Made from 100% cotton and friendly to washer machines.

Fall Kitty Pillow Case

Fally-kitty, I loved the way this looked. Perfect for my cousin over in Germany. The pillow case is made from 100% cotton and friendly to washer machines.

I am BACK! With Pillow Cases

Arrg!
My son is going through a Pirate phase, but this is for his cousin who sent him a bunch of clothes he out grew. I thought it was really cute!

Matching Travel Bags

These bags are super cute. I loved how they turned out.
There are two different sizes and I think both complement each other, and will be great for traveling. These two particular bags were made for a friend of mine who is getting married later this month. I think these will come in hand on her wedding day. (Make-up, curling iron...odds and ends - Brides you know all about it!)

I will be adding these particular bags to my Nannabells collection on my up-coming website. If you would like to pre-order one now please send me an email and I will be happy to talk with you about color schemes.

Motified Beach Bag

I love this bag! And it is HUGE! This bag is great for taking items to the park or the beach, the original bag had a small opening but it boggled my mind why such a huge bag had a small opening. So I modified the bag by leaving the sides open and used ties to close it. Let's just say good decision Shannon!

Diaper Bag For Mel

My friend Mel saw my bag and wanted to have something pink and brown for their diaper bag since someone stole theirs...bummer...
Here is what I came up with for Mel. She asked for ruffles and to make it as chic as possible. I really loved the way it turned out and pleased with the ruffle I added to the trim. On the inside I added a cell phone pocket with you can see in the contrast fabric. There is also a zipper pocket and on the opposite side there are two more pockets. In addition, Mel asked for two pockets on the sides of the bag for those sippy/bottles.

This bag has pockets everywhere! I think I will have to make one for myself.

Toss in some Matching Pillow Cases

For the same boy, Momma wanted to have some matching pillow cases. The main part of the pillow is a nice bright red, with a blue trimming. I really liked the way it came out and yes, I think I will be making something similar for my little guy.

Spider Man Apron

What can be better then Transformers and Spider Man reversible apron for a toddler? According to my son - NOTHING!
