WIP Wednesday - And So Ends Another Month

Bring it on, March!  I'm ready to bust through the next month and stay on track...I hope!  I feel really blessed that I'm getting in repeat orders and new orders, just need to make sure I don't overbook myself!  Fortunately most of the recent orders have been for 'quick' and small projects, but those are the ones I procrastinate on thinking they won't take long to finish!

Now available on Etsy!  You can even custom order your favorite characters!

Of course, I have to throw in extra random stuff to keep life hectic, so I decided to try some new key chains last night.  I want to make them ALL! This fabric has just about every Disney character you can think of, and they are so adorable!  I had to cut into the fabric for an order earlier this week, but before I did that, I made a prototype! 

Test version - actually really cute but was too small so good thing I tried it!

Usually I jump in head first, but after the debacle last weekend with the boxy pouch, I've learned to test free online tutorials first!  I was pretty confident it would work out, so I used some 'mostly good but not rare' fabric.  The customer ended up wanting to add on some height, and I definitely needed some practice with my piping, so it was a good idea...now I have a cute little not perfect pouch that needs a new home!  I bet it would be great for walking the dog since it can go around my waist....hmm... 

So much pretty fabric!

I should have pictures soon of the finished pouch, it's not super exciting but it is super cute!
