Firefly Constellations Clutch Me Tight Purse (pattern test DCE) Moon Beam Textiles

I really love testing new patterns! It gives me the push to try a new pattern, plus it's a fun experience. It's a bonus if I can use it with some awesome fabric! The preorder for this fabric closes TODAY, so don't forget to snag some of this gorgeous print.

I bet Kaylee would carry this with her fancy dress!

WIP Monday - Welp, There Goes August

And another month speeds by!  I'm definitely not ready for it to be September, but at least I'm starting to feel like I have things slightly more under control.  Ok, not really, but I can pretend!

Hmm, should I add in the 'watching blankets' to my lineup this year?

Jars of Fireflies - Ugly Naked Guy Hobo (Sincerely Jen) Moon Beam Textiles

The preorder for the awesome Firefly fabric is still open at Moon Beam Textiles, and you definitely need to get some!  I went a little overboard on the commitment for the strikes this time and made THREE purses, and they took me longer than I expected so I'm running behind on sharing! 

I see nothing ugly about this tote!

All 3 of the strike projects, look for the final post with the baby bag soon!

Wall-E Cross Body Bag and Zip It Janice Pouch (Sincerely, Jen)

Sometimes a simple bag is all that is needed to show off amazing fabric!  This panel from Backstitch Fabrics is so adorable, and was love at first sight for the customer!

Seriously cute stuff!

WIP Wednesday - Doing Stuff and Things

While every day is sort of blending into the next and half the time I keep checking my calendar to see what day it is, I am actually getting things marked off the list!

 

Foolish Mortals is a fun fabric and I'm using every scrap I can!

Bunk Pegasus Cross Body Bag (XOXO by Lauren) Moon Beam Textiles

The Moon Beam preorder this month is so SHINY!  If you are a fan of Firefly, this is right up your alley!

The only Firefly accessory I have in my house is a tiny Kaylee...hmmm....

Venom Road Trip Wallet (Emmaline Bags)

I enjoy making wallets because they use minimal fabric from my collection, but that doesn't mean they are simple!  There is much less wiggle room for error, so it's important to cut precisely and sew on the seam allowance, and some of them, like the Road Trip Wallet from Emmaline have MORE pieces than most purses!

I'm pretty sure this isn't upside down, not that it really matters on this wallet!

WIP Friday - August, So Soon?

I feel like this week I've been trying to do stuff and nothing is getting finished...  It was a week of masks and Etsy orders, but I REALLY want to bust out some of the bigger items!

From when I used to test for a designer...she closed up shop but there were some great designs!

Neighborhood Wanderer Wallet (Moments by Liz)

Sometimes a pattern will catch my eye and beg to be made!  The Wanderer wallet from Moments by Liz has a lot of style in a little package.

All closed up and compact
