Our niece Ellie just turned 4 at the end of April. It’s now almost mid-May and I just completed and shipped her present. Better late than never? I really gotta work on my time management skills. Yikes.
She is 4 and like any little young lady, she needs a good bag! I loved carrying a purse around when I was a youngun, but never had something custom made for me. Cool!
Here’s Ellie and Little Face:
And here is her present:
Doing the big E, little e came to me at the last moment. I’m quite pleased with how they came out and look forward to seeing her enjoy it.

But really have no intentions on recovery. Not yet!
Here are 3 of 5 that I whipped up this past Saturday.
Why only the 3?
Because I sold 2 of ‘em before I could make ‘em say cheese. YAY!

And here are all my pretties standing up proud & tall at the show on Sunday. Nice atmosphere, good foot traffic, wonderfully organized. I’ll do another show at this location with this promoter in the future. Probably a fall show. Sales were good and I had to let go of some of my favorites. I’ll be replenishing inventory this week. On to the next one!
Matt walks around casing my competition.
Seriously.
But not a Fendi bag lady.
Not even close, thank God.
I love spring-y and pretty bags, so I made a bunch of ‘em.
I’ll be participating in a crafty event this Sunday and I think these bags will fit right in with the theme:
And now, on to the bags…

And that’s it for this batch. The cherries being an absolute favorite of mine. I have another one of those in the works, but a slightly different shape. Too bad I didn’t have much more of that fabric though. Love.

Denim
twill
cotton
heavy duty interfacing
felt
dmc embroidery thread
Another hobby of mine is thrifting. I love thrift stores and thrive on sorting through junk to score something cool for next to nothing. I don’t get to do it often enough because quite frankly Matty’s not a big fan of it. Maybe it’s that old musty smell at the Salvy.
So here is a skirt that I picked up recently. I really loved the skirt itself, but knew that I no matter how many alterations I did to it, that 20 inch waist was set in stone and there was no other alternative than to hack it up and make other pretties with it.

And after:
Materials I used in addition to the yellow print:
twill
wool felt

zippy zippers
I haven’t figured out what I’m going to do with that lace piece yet, it came off in one long strand and just screams at me to do something creative with it. But I’m at a loss so far. We shall see.
I’m quite confident that I have perfected the square bottomed, lined bag. I don’t even need the tutorial anymore! Yay me! These bags are deceptively small, because they really have a nice amount of room on the inside. The ideal bag for a cell, wallet, chapstick, and a trashy paperback. Nice.
Materials used in this group:
various heavyweight, cotton, twill
printed, cotton lining
interfacing
felt
embroidery thread
These 2 are the same, save for the exterior, the blue is denim. I love toile!
These 2 bags are pretty darn huge. I’d say you can fit your favorite small pet in them. Though really, they’re more suited for gym bag, beachbag, diaperbag, anything that requires extr-y room!
Easy enough, though the little embroidery pictures take just a bit of time. My big hands find it tough working with little things.
Denim, craft felt, dmc thread, and interfacing.
