Flappy Duncan Messenger Sling - Snow Willow Designs Fabric and Sincerely Jen Patterns

The lesson I learned with this project was, 'don't give me an excessive amount of time to prepare' because I will STILL procrastinate until the last minute. I've had the String Theory Funky Bunch 2: Electric Boogaloo fabric since last year, and it took me forever to settle on a pattern, then even longer to cut out all the pieces! Once I started sewing, it wasn't too bad (except for midnight sewing where I was THISCLOSE to attaching the gusset upside-down!) and I'm really glad it's finished! 

I'm pretending the wrinkles add character, which is the justification I give for not ironing my clothes...

Pride Plaid Samaren Shoulder Bag (Snow Willow Designs Fabric, Lavender & Twine)

The newest fabric round from Snow Willow Designs is a GORGEOUS Pride plaid! The colors are drawn from the various pride flags, but even if you aren't familiar with them, they are just amazing color combos and make a very pretty fabric. I honestly love the colors on so many of them! Even better, Snow Willow Designs is a LGBTQIA+ owned company, and 10% of sales will be donated in equal amounts to The Trevor Project, PFLAG, and The National Center for Transgender Equality. 

One of the fanciest bags I've made!

Fabric this pretty needed a fancy purse pattern to go with it! The Samaren Shoulder Bag from Lavender & Twine fit the bill perfectly!

Jackalope Fiona Foldover Bag - Snow Willow Designs Fabric (Lind's Handmade)

 My final project for the Cryptid Research Notes fabric round was this fun Fiona Foldover purse from Lind's Handmade Designs.  I've seen this purse now in several different fabrics and materials, and it turned out great with this fabric too!

Everyone needs a Jackalope purse!

Cryptids Tuesday Tote - Snow Willow Designs Fabric (Knotted Thread Patterns)

My second project for the amazing Cryptid Research Notes fabric that is currently up for preorder at Snow Willow Designs was the super fast Tuesday Tote from Knotted Threads Patterns. I had a few extra of the Sack Set panels left, and they were *almost* big enough for the top piece. My choices were to make the bag slightly smaller OR add in a fun accent of the Jackalope fabric to make it bigger!

Trying a new photo editor option that removes ALL background. Is it weird?

Kraken Book Sleeve - Snow Willow Designs Fabric (Sewn Ideas)

The current preorder at Snow Willow Designs is this epic Cryptid Research Notes round! It is definitely not my usual 'cute' fabric, and it's super fun! I used the sack set and the Research Notes Blank Pages to make a large Book Sleeve from Sewn Ideas, which is kind of perfect.

I love sea monsters.

Stabby Cat Sandra Saddle Bag - (Strike fabric from Snow Willow Designs Fabric)

When I got this epic fabric from Snow Willow Designs, I knew that the panel would make a great flap on a bag, but I couldn't decide which one.  After a LOT of deliberation, I happened to run across some interfacing I cut probably 5 years ago and that helped me decide to make it into a Sandra Saddle bag from Swoon (Aff Link). I always leave off the extra front magnet piece, and move the magnet to the back of the flap, but after I had done that, I realized that I could have made the flap piece into a cat paw, how perfect would that have been?? Oh well, maybe next time...

I'm pretty sure if cat's could hold knives, we'd all be in trouble...

8 Bit Lizard King Tuesday Tote - Snow Willow Designs (Knotted Thread Patterns)

One of the other projects I made for the latest round of fabric promotion for Snow Willow Designs was this super cute (and fast!) Tuesday Tote from Knotted Thread Design! The Mini Lizard King vinyl is such a fun pattern that I wanted to really show it off!

Technically the back, but it really shows off the fun vinyl

8 Bit Lizard King Key Fob Wallet - Snow Willow Designs and SEWGNAR

On top of testing new patterns, I've also had some fun new fabrics to sew up! This vinyl is from Snow Willow Designs, and was very easy to work with! I need some fast projects, So I went with the Key Fob Wallet from SEWGNAR. 

Getting Godzilla on the front was a little tricky since I'd never made it before...

Funky Bunch Gunther Hobo (Sincerely Jen) Snow Willow Designs Fabric

Maybe trying a new pattern on strike fabric is asking for trouble, but there are some designers that I feel pretty confident the pattern will come together smoothly, so it's worth the risk! I've never made the Gunther Hobo bag from Sincerely Jen before, but it is so perfect for showcasing a fun print like this fabric from Snow Willow Designs! Bonus, it came together pretty quick!

I took it outside to try to capture the grey background and vibrant colors

Funky Bunch Zara Accordion Wallet (RLR Creations) Snow Willow Designs Fabric

The Zara Double Zip Mini Accordion Wallet pattern JUST released and I admit that I was super intrigued by it, so I looked for an excuse to try it out. Fortunately I needed to make a project with the awesome strike fabric from Snow Willow Designs, so I was able to squeeze it in!

Getting the grey to show up required playing with different lighted areas. Also, I think my model needs a name.

Lizard King Bee Balm Backpack (Blue Calla) - SWD Fabric

This is a double first for me, first time using this awesome fabric from Snow Willow Designs, and first Bee Balm Backpack from Blue Calla! Actually, triple first, first time stitching up these fun designs from String Theory Fabric Art!!

Rawr!
