I’ve been waiting for 2 months to make a bag out of some Michael Miller fabric I bought during my annual pilgrimage to the only quilt shop in the area. I finally found a pattern I really wanted for me - the Mail Sack from Pink Chalk Studio. I’m totally into the sling [...]

I gave a link to Martha Stewart’s Pillowcase bag the other day. Here’s my first attempt:
I made this bag for one of my great nieces who just turned 6. I plan to make it a beach bag of sorts, filling it with fun things for the shore from the dollar store.

While my mind has been elsewhere these last few months, I didn’t quite foresake my sewing habit altogether. Here and there I got the energy to complete a few projects. This bag was for my step daughter’s 16th birthday.
The bag is from this pattern by Bunny Hill Designs, and is made from 2.5 [...]

I love to make handbags. Love. Love. Love. It’s fun. It’s functional. Usually, it’s a short and fast project. People love them. I love them. (In case you didn’t get that the first time.) But, I usually get to #3 of a particular style, and then I’m [...]

Here are a few gifts I’ve made over the last months:
These appliquéd onesies are so fun and easy - especially when making them for little girls! I found these patterns in a quilting magazine for a quilt, but easily converted them for use in my project. I applied wonder under to the fabric, [...]

My little (and only) sister celebrates her 38th birthday this week! Happy Birthday sis!!! I know she’ll have a candle on her birthday - and be hanging out with her family (hubby and 5 year old daughter, our parents, in-laws and sis-in-law.) I know they’ll have a great day up in Wisconsin!
She [...]

I made a bag for myself a few weeks ago and actually kept it. As I was sewing it, I kept saying to myself, this is for me, this is for me - so I wouldn’t think of someone else to give it to.
Here it is:
(Notice all those yucky cobwebs next to the door…I’m [...]
