Radio silence…
I’m working on stuff for Robert Kaufman that I can’t post about now, but I took pics of these cool hexie selvages for my friend Jules, and thought y’all might wanna seethem….
Hooray!
Tada! Here’s my new bag!!! (Fancy setting, right? garage door handles make great bag backgrounds) somehow in the last 2 days I lost my rose fabric. Luckily last week I bought 1/2 a yard of this gorgeous Pezzy print at Sew Modern, and it was just enough for the lining, and it matches PERFECTLY. LOVE. […]
Beach School Sewing, finale.
a set of pencil bags for all the kids in one family (1 boy, 2 girls, all coordinating so they can’t fight over them!) beachy pot-holders vintage-y potholders and then just a little playing around… I was thinking of making a little bag for my new phone, but it might need to be turned into […]
Final prototype
OOOOH! Squee! I am in LOOOOOOVE. My new bag is exactly what I want, and I just whipped this final puppy up in about an hour (not including cutting, which might have taken almost 1/2 an hour). Simple and clean and FUNCTIONAL and (if I do say so myself) CUTE!!! Here it is empty: It’s […]

It’s going to be a very simple a-line dress. I need a new handbag. I originally thought I might just remake this Hobo International […]
Ty Pennington pillowcases (finally)

Valentine blocks!
I pieced the valentines blocks for the teacher-gift bags I’m hoping to make tomorrow. I actually took a long nap, so I have energy to keep going, but I wanna photograph the steps, so I have to wait till tomorrow. But I got the blocks done, so I’m counting it a a done project. I […]
A speedy apron
we went by Momen+ today (because C wanted to go to the brewing supply store around the block), and the Bean insisted that she needed this animal/airplane fabric. It’s from the same line as the scrap I used to make her bag last week, and she loves all the animals. C is gonna brew again […]
