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!

Pink Apron

This was a special order for a 'girlie girl'. I added ruffles and a nice big bow for the ties. Also there is a cute little heart pocket on the front of the apron. Size 2t-4t

Chic Tote

This is another tote which I am selling for wholesale at a local store. 12L x 17W.

Chic Totes

This is a simple tote 12 L x 17 W. I love the simplicity of the bag. There is only one pocket on the inside and a key chain holder on the inside. This bag is for wholesale, and if I was to custom create for a friend or customer, I would add pockets on the outside and 1 zipper pocket on the inside as well as a traditional pocket you see in the picture. This bag runs at $45

Green Messenger Bag

I created this bag for a girlfriend of mine. She wanted to have something to put her laptop in. I really love the way this turned out, a bit frustrating at first but in the end it looks great. I needed to add some stabilizer at the bottom to keep some shape, and I triple stitched the top (you can't see it) but I did that for safety. The last thing I want to happen is to have the bag fall apart! But I really don't think it is going anywhere. Let me just leave with this last comment...It takes a TON of fabric!

Laptop Sleeve for my Aunt

Here is a cute sleeve I made for my Aunt's new Laptop. I lined it with a cushy interfacing to protect from bumps and scratches.

Apron for Sofia

I made this reversible toddler apron for my Aunts little girl. I know she will love it and be the talk of the town in Germany!

Little Black Bag

I actually made this about 3 years ago and just found it at the bottom of my sewing supplies. I have no idea why I put it there...maybe it fell? So I brought it back to see the world.

Lotus Flower Tote

Here is another tote I really loved how it turned out. There is heavy weight stabilizer for the interfacing which keeps it shape. I do have to get the key clip for it still but in the mean time, here is what I made.

Birdie Tote

I love the way this turned out. It will be great for the beach or shopping, even toss in a couple of diapers if you have a little one. For me there will be little fishy snacks for my guy. But I think this is a style I will stick with for a while.

Not for potato's anymore

My first try with Burlap - tricky and itchy fabric. But I was able to make this half-moon bag. There are some things I need to tweek on it but I think it turned out okay...can you wash burlap?

Tote for Lindsy

This is a large tote made from 100% cotton from Amy Butler's collection. I pleaded the front and added a wide shoulder strap which tappers to a thin strap for over the shoulder. I lined this bag with a thick interfacing to give it shape.

Magnetic snap for the closure, zipper pocket

3 pen pockets and a large pocket for your cell/keys or for what ever

Blue Flower Tote

Another creation from today...man my shoulders hurt. Planning on hitting the gym soon, back to the bag. This is a simple tote with a zipper pocket inside and a toggle key clip - to hook your car keys to. Nice size bag.

A little birdie told me so...

I was able to make four of these pillows 16x16, with a linen look cotton for the back. The back is also an envelope opening for those quick washes.

Sweet blue summer

Again I had another set of these bamboo handles and I found a great use for them! This is the same size as the pink bag 12x12. I am thinking of what handles to use for the larger bag...still thinking...

Sweet pink summer

The bamboo handles I had stored away for about 5 years. I just was about to toss them thinking I had no use for them. But then I dreamed...that is right I dream about sewing! (Yes I am a dork) So this is what I 'dreamed' about...this is a small bag about 12x12, I am planning on making larger one in the future.

Mum's the word

Mum's the word here! I used spider mum material to the body and had a lot of fun creating this bag. I have to say it is one of my new favorites to sew. I just need to make the pattern larger to fit all my stuff...this is a great bag for those women who don't have to haul all the baby toys and diapers...but a larger one is in the works, so those with little ones (like me) can toss everything in the bag, yes even the kitchen sink if need be!

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!
