Wizardry Color The One With MMK - Longshore Custom Fabric/Sincerely Jen

I really enjoy the challenge of picking a perfect pattern to go with the strike fabric that arrives at my house. This gorgeous Wizardry Color fabric is running for preorder at Longshore Custom Fabric, and I needed to find something that took a fat half (or less) of fabric AND would really show it off!  This is the canvas version, so it has a little more thickness and is more sturdy than the usual woven I work with. The pattern I ended up going with is "The One With More Me Know" from Sincerely Jen, and it was originally an exclusive created to go with a fun box of curated fabric and supplies from More Me Know! I still haven't made it with the original supplies, but after seeing how fast and fun it is, I will be making it again!

Somewhat structured, stood up nicely!

Diva Heidi Clutch (Swoon) - Longshore Custom Fabrics

 I had a little bit of this fabric left over, so I decided to try a new (to me) pattern. The Heidi by Swoon is a free pattern and super quick!  The nice part is that the top flap is cut separate, so it is easy to make sure that the fabric is 'right side' up! There's only one day left to preorder this fun fabric from Longshore Custom Fabrics! 

The fabric is much crisper than it looks in the pictures, there's just a LOT going on!

Diva Clematis Clutch (Blue Calla Designs) - Longshore Custom Fabrics

The great part about being selected to sew up strikes for different groups is seeing all the fun fabrics in person! The Diva collection from Longshore Custom Fabrics is so awesome! I used the small version of the Pose Covers, and it is TINY! It's so perfect for little things, like this Clematis Clutch from Blue Calla.

I felt like the fabric was pretty classy and needed some fancy projects!

WIP Thursday - Ready for the Weekend

Actually, I was ready for the weekend after about 4 hours into Monday...good thing that it's almost time for another weekend! I have a bunch of stuff I need to get finished, but right now I'm working on an Annette purse. Lately I've been doing a LOT of little items/simple orders, so switching my mind to making something with more features/pieces took a little extra time. I'm finally back in the swing of it, so the rest should (hopefully) go much faster! I have several strike projects waiting for me, so it's time to kick it into high gear!

This is going to be awesome!

HP School Essential Cross Body Purse - Longshore Custom Fabrics

This amazing vinyl is from Longshore Custom Fabrics and is available NOW for preorder! I only received a small piece, so I squeezed as much out of it as I could! The Essential Crossbody Bag from Sewn Ideas was a perfect little bag.

A pretty set!

Demon Slayer Yarrow Clutch (Noodlehead) Longshore Custom Fabrics

The second project I made with the awesome fabric now available at Longshore Custom Fabrics was a Yarrow Clutch from Noodlehead. This was another new pattern for me, but it came together nicely and quickly! The fabric preorder closes on Feb 15, so don't forget to check out!

Pocket makes it easy to feature a part of the fabric

WIP Wednesday - Fun Stuff!

It seems like it has been a while since I had strike fabric to sew up AND a new pattern to test, but I ended up with both over the weekend, so orders were set aside to bust them out! One of the reasons I'm slowing down the number of open orders I have is so that I can do fun projects like these guilt free! 

All I know about this guy is that he is beautiful under the mask, according to my in-house expert.

Demon Slayer Tower Crossbody Bag (Sew Sweetness) Longshore Custom Fabric

When I saw the awesome fabric planned for Longshore Custom Fabric's next round, I was crossing my fingers I'd get a chance to sew it up! I wasn't picked in the original plan but there ended up being some extra so I had to quickly sew it up over the weekend to get it all ready to share everywhere! My youngest (and newest anime fan) likes the fabric and helped me find some quick and cute patterns to use with it.

I keep forgetting their names...but I LOVE the colors on this fabric!

Sus Wars Begonia Drawstring Bag - Longshore Custom Fabrics (Blue Calla)

I was lucky enough to have the chance to sew up a fun fabric for a new (to me) group, Longshore Customs. There are a bunch of fun fabrics available on this preorder, so be sure to check it out! I needed a fast project since November and December are totally crunch time, so the Begonia from Blue Calla was the perfect choice!  It only takes a small amount of fabric, but is easy to customize to show off a panel.

Increased the bottom size to 1" past the graphic, then decreased the top panel by the same amount. And still ended up trimming off a little of the top panel.
