Happy Halloween!

I've been teaching a sewing class to some of my friends and neighbors the past few months. It's been really fun passing on my love for sewing. It's also been fun because it's made me think up some new projects and actually do them! Here was our last project - some fun Halloween placemats kids. Now I need to do them for every holiday :)

Halloween shirt for Tea- last year I made her long sleeved shirts but it's still so hot here in October her mom opted for tanks this year.


Have a great weekend,

Has it been a month?

I knew I had been neglecting the blog but I was stunned to see it's been a whole month since I posted. Especially after I promised to post more often! Well what can I say- I've just been busy but I'm back!

Here are some cute bags I've been making. Look for them on etsy soon. I organized my fabric the other day and I have five huge tubs of fabric! I have promised myself that I cannot buy any more until I use some that I have. These cute little bags are the perfect way to use some up. Most of these are plain but I can personalize them as well.





I used iron-on vinyl on the lining so this would make a great snack or make-up bag.




Made this for the kids to keep their Legos in when we're on the go




My baby loves Thomas and loves his little train bag




Fun pirate bag




Personalized bag I made for a friend


Tote I donated for a raffle made with Amy Butler fabric


I'm getting ready to watch the Project Runway finale! I think Leanne will win.
