Fabric Flower

While I was in a store this weekend I was approached by a woman asking how I made the fabric flower that is on my purse.   I'm posting the link to the Etsy shop where I got the instructions to make the flower.  I don't have a picture of the flower because my camera battery has died.  I've been around a lot of family this weekend so my camera has had a lot of use.  Not to mention my daughter has learned how to use the camera so I have about thirty pictures from a two year old's perspective!  I will post pictures of the flower later.

Here is the link

New Tote

I finished this tote bag yesterday.  It's 12" wide and 16" tall.  The strap is 20".  I'm not going to sell this particular one.  It was the first time I used this pattern and it has some flaws.  I'm going to change some of the ways the pattern said to make this bag.  Mainly on the inside.  I'm adding a pocket and a magnetic snap.  I'm also changing the way the straps are put on.  The updated bag will still look like this there will just be some changes on the inside.

New Handbag

This is the latest handbag I have made.  It is the Pleated Handbag.   


This bag is made out of Amy Butler's Morning Glory in Linen.  The shoulder straps are about 20" long.  It is about 11" tall and about 15 1/2 " across the bottom.


The lining is made from Amy Butler's Full Moon Dot in Cherry.  There is one pocket on the inside and a magnetic closure.  This bag is $38.

The pattern for this particular bag was designed by Sweet Pea Totes.
