Geo Minifacto (ChrisW Designs)

Not everything I make is character inspired, sometimes I get requests for pretty fabrics! I fell in love with the Geos from Blended Thread Fabrics, and on this Minifacto from ChrisW designs, they look AMAZING!

Space, in purse form.

WIP Monday - Back At It!

I took a 'mini' vacation for the last 2 weeks, with minimal sewing and gave myself permission to relax and enjoy having family visiting. Now it's time to get back to the list! I did squeeze in a few little things here and there (can't totally stop crafting and sewing it seems!), but now I need to finish up some orders so I can take in new ones! 

This purse has a LOT of structure.

Princess Bride Sadie Expandable Bag (Swoon)

Every so often I get to sneak in a fun sew for myself, like this Sadie purse from Swoon using fabric from my all time favorite movie! I grew up watching Princess Bride whenever I could, and I can probably quote the entire move (ok, not 'probably', I CAN.)

Wesley/Dread Pirate Roberts is front and center!

WIP Thursday - UFO Challenge

Since July is my birthday month, I decided it's a great time to squeeze in some fun sewing! I am mostly on schedule for orders, so taking a day or 3 to finish up some of the projects that I've had patiently waiting for me to finish is a great idea. Right now there is a challenge over in the ChrisW Designs FB group to sew up a UFO, pattern you bought and never made, or some fabric that has been collected. It does need to use a ChrisW pattern, but she has so many awesome patterns, for all skill levels, so it's a fun challenge for everyone to join!  I'll be working on finishing up this Bella II that I started many years ago... and then if I have time, the Factotum that was started ONLY 3 (or 4?) years ago. I'm working at home now, so I don't need an amazing work tote, so if I ever finish it, I'll be listing it up on Etsy. 

This WILL be the year I finally finish the purse!

Cute Bow bag and embroidered tote bag from the weekend!

Animal Villagers H2O to Go Sling (Linds Handmade Designs)

The H2O To Go bag is quickly becoming a favorite! This fun Animal Crossing fabric from Backstitch was perfect to feature on the zipper pocket, both inside and out!

I love using webbing for straps, so much faster than all the cutting and ironing!
