WIP Wednesday - October Incoming!

I can tell when it's getting close to October, suddenly I have an influx of orders on Etsy for pony ears, costume wings, and other random bows. It usually picks up speed at the end of September and goes for the first few weeks of October, but this year I'm going to have to disappoint any last minute costumers since I need to put Etsy on vacation at the start of October. That should give me enough time to send out all the orders that are open before I'm out of commission, hopefully! It's been a hectic few weeks -- I try to have backup supplies but this time when I went to grab a new box of bobbins, I realized they sent me the wrong ones! Also, my embroidery machine totally deserves a spa day after this!

Can I interest you in a few pony ears?

Truth is Out There Celine Tote Bag - Knitorious Fabric Strike

I don't know about you, but circle bags are a little intimidating to me. With patience, many staples, and some seam ripping, I can make them work, but it's not my favorite shape to make. That being said, the bagmaker panels from Knitorious Fabric are super fun and cute, so I was willing to attempt it. Fortunately for me, I realized I don't HAVE to make it a circle! With a little bit of planning and some patchwork sewing, I was able to turn it into a fun tote bag, the Celine from Swoon!

The inside of my light box looks a little like a spaceship, so I decided to embrace it.

Puppy Crystaline Pencil Pouch - The Styled Magnolia Pattern Testing

I told you I couldn't resist all the fun tests! The new Crystaline Pencil Pouch from The Styled Magnolia was at least a quick project -- I spent more time finding materials than actually sewing!

Sorry for the glare, the new light box is much brighter, but the diffuser is not as good

Dread Pirate Mariposa Organizing Pouch - The Styled Magnolia Pattern Testing

It seems like the test patterns all came right after one another, and they were all so fun that I couldn't resist signing up for them! The Mariposa Organizing Pouch from The Styled Magnolia is a fun little organizer with a lot of options!
