My Latest Project

Fall is here,and I needed  a new tote bag to go with it. . I found the perfect fallish fabric to make my tote. The great thing about making my own tote is I can do it with my own specifications. I love pockets, so I made it with lots of em! Take a look from beginning to end


First I had to machine quilt the fabric

                                                       

Then I added the zipper and straps

Then comes the lining and pockets. I love the leopard print. Note to self, I will have to make a leopard print scarf next!

                                                         

The finished product. I used it today and have already gotten a lot of compliments.

                

                                

           I love the inside pockets. I have room for my cell phone and date planner plus a whole lot more.

An Introduction

Hi and welcome! I have wanted to start a "crafty" blog for quite some time now. Well, I have put it off long enough. Today is the day!




I love fabric. I have a lot of it. It is almost like therapy for me when I can create a tote bag or a quilt with the right combination of just a few fabrics. It is a great feeling of accomplishment. I have been sewing for a long time and have made so many things, but was always inconsistent  with documenting the creative process from an idea in my head to the finished product. I hope to do that here. My goal is to keep on sewing!

 I like to organize my fabric in clear plastic boxes. I attempt to keep them organized by color family so I can easily find what I want.

  Okay, It's time to create. I'll be back soon!
