WIP Wednesday - Easing Back Into the Mayhem

While I was on vacation I was having sewing withdrawal!  I did sneak in a few small things, like the teeny backpacks and finally got to start on the next order, but I didn't have a chance to clean my studio or play with fabrics like I had hoped.  Someday I'll have some free time!

New fabric, would look amazing on wallets and purses!

I'm planning on getting my turnaround time back down to a respectable number (what numbers aren't respectable? I always felt like 19 was a little shifty...) so I won't be opening up the orders right away next week.  I really need to finish up some birthday presents too...

Final 2 backpacks of the latest round!

If you aren't in the group yet, I'll be opening up limited ordering spots next week, as long as I get at least 2 more things off the list!

These are items that don't take long to finish, but since they are also handmade, I squeeze them in between the more complex items to give my brain a little break. ;)
