Supernatural Tote bag with Zipper and Phone Slip Pocket Overlay from ChrisW Designs and Knitorious Fabric

When I got the half yard of fabric for the 'What's on the Telly' round Knitorious to use for my strike, I was worried I wouldn't have enough to make 2 projects. I used less than half of that for the Aurora Sling, and then I needed to find something that would really show off the awesome design of the print, so I decided to make a simple tote bag. At the same time, a new test for a Zipper and Phone Slip Pocket from ChrisW came along and needed testing, and it was PERFECT to spice up the simple tote!

I think this is the front. It's the fanciest side at least

WIP Friday(er, Saturday) - Picking Up Speed

I finally made it through the Purse of DOOM, so now onto a bunch of smaller (and hopefully faster) orders! I've made so many of the NCW that at this point I could finish them in one evening, if I were focused. When I'm not focused...they can take me 4 evenings...and that involves a lot of wandering around and getting distracted by interesting shows on Netflix... Theoretically, I could finish up the next 7 orders by next weekend, IF I can stay focused. ;) 

Ok, it really does deserve a post of its' own, but these are the best pics I grabbed!

Back with lots of fun fabrics

Dragon Beauty Makeup Bag (Sewn Ideas)

I can't say that I've made many (or any) makeup bags before, but this one turned out totally cute!  I might need to make one for myself, it would work great to organize my crochet notions!

Do you feel like you are being watched?

Supernatural Purse of DOOM

Sometimes I take on a project that I think will be 'simple' and then I come to regret saying yes. Fortunately this one redeemed itself and by the end I did love it, but the middle section was a bit rough...and it did earn the name of the Purse of DOOM, which stuck since I made up the pattern and get to name it whatever I want.

I would drink this whiskey...

Supernatural Road Trip Wallet (Emmaline Bags)

The Road Trip Wallet by Emmaline Bags is an amazing and very detailed project! It has more pieces to cut than probably half of the purses I make, but it only uses small amounts of fabric!

Awesome snap from my stash!

Supernatural Sydney (Swoon)

For a while, Sydney from Swoon (affiliated link) was one of my highest requested styles of purse, but it seems like it has been a while since the last one I made!

The names the brothers call each other was requested for the front pockets!

Supernatural Laney Hobo (Swoon)

It's been forever since my last Laney Hobo (affiliate link, but it's a free pattern!), I forgot how fast and cute they are!

I'd say it's a PG-13 fabric...

This fabric has everything!

Pie and Demons Rosie Crossbody Bag (Swoon) - Moonbeam Textiles

When I saw the strike fabric for Moonbeam Textiles, I practically begged for this panel!  It's so awesome that I am definitely going to be ordering more!

This is going on my to-do list for sure!

WIP Thursday - Slow Progress is Still Progress!

I was doing great this weekend, getting through my list and almost caught up! Then I got hit with a doozy of a headcold that turned into a sinus infection.  Thanks to some good antibiotics and 2 days of rest, I'm on the mend, but I didn't get nearly as much finished as I wanted! 

To save the easily offended, Baby covered up the bad word.  :p

Supernatural Cursing - Necessary Clutch Wallet

If you are a fan of the tv show Supernatural, you know there is some banter and occasional 'bad word' that makes it way into the show.  For those that are easily offended, feel free to skip this post!

I need to stock up on the swing locks again, I'm down to only 2 left!

Supernatural Grunge - Connie Wristlet

When I first tested the Connie Wristlet, I had no idea how popular it would become!

It makes sense if you are a fan of the show. ;)

Super Fandom Sydney by Swoon

Did you ever get a request that makes you sit back and question your own sanity for agreeing to it?  This purse had the potential to be either amazing or seizure inducing...good thing it turned out awesome!  This is for my friend that loves so many different sci-fi worlds that she couldn't pick just one for her own purse.  I did limit her to only 10 fabrics, and fortunately for me, they even kind of went together with similar color schemes!

It's not TOO crazy looking...

WIP Wednesday - Halfway Through March

Beware the Ides of March!  Especially if your name is Caesar....

If only he'd had a cute dog to warn him...

In other news, Things Are Getting Done. (yes, needs the caps)  I FINALLY finished up the Dachshund Pick a Pocket wallet!  Now I'm only 3 (purse) orders behind, and if you take into account that I have the interfacing cut for the second one already, I'm really even closer to caught up!  Of course I have several "When you have time we should get together and discuss my purse" orders, but they aren't definite yet so I'm not counting them!

A quick pencil topper request, all from Miss Meggie Designs

WIP Wednesday - New Month, Slightly New List

I wonder what it feels like to be totally caught up?  I'll never know since I keep adding on new projects! I did manage to finish one project in the wee hours of last night...the twin SuperWhoLock is finally done!  Yay!  Coming up on the list are 2 more Sydney purses...but I did cut out most of the interfacing for them at least!

Aww, twinsies!

SuperWhoLock Sydney by Swoon

I'm not a person to match my purse to my outfit, but sometimes I just feel like I'm ready for something new.  Usually I wear a purse for several months or even years, and I do have several purses I can switch between, but sometimes I just want something totally new (and it's a great excuse to try out my stash of pattern).  For this one, I decided to go for the Sydney by Swoon, which is a cross body style bag, with lots of fun details!  I love the Swoon purses because they have tons of style, but usually they don't have enough pockets for me!  This one breaks that mold with 3 pockets just on the outside!
