Ivory Lattice

Here is the clutch I was talking about. It turned out better than I thought it would. I always seem to have trouble with squares and rectangles not being square or rectangular!:) This is for sale in my shop.



And a picture of my niece. When i was taking photos of the clutch she wanted her picture taken too!:)

Commonplace



I made this pouch/ clutch for my sister. It's from the leftover fabric from these keychains.



Remeber this skirt that I made? Well, with the other part of that curtain I made a longer version. This is also for sale in my shop.
Nothing exciting to write about. I will have another post soon, with a really cool (or so I thought:) clutch. I was looking through all my fabric the other day, and pulling out all these less than a yard pieces of fabric, so you'll probably be seeing a lot of accessories projects.

Valentine's Day (for lack of a more original title)








I had these two fabrics that i couldn't decide what to do with. So, I decided to make more than one thing! I made this skirt, the key-chain, and I'm working on another skirt. I really like the key-chain one. I made it a little bit more fancy than the last ones, with a flower button and some lace I took off of a nightgown.
These are both for sale in my Etsy shop! Also, does anyone else really want to see this movie?!?!?!?I think it probably has all my favorite actors and actresses in it!!

Key chain/ Lanyard

I made some more of these the other day. I really like making. I think they are a much more fashionable approach to not losing your keys!:) Especially if you happen to have a backpack for a purse; or a purse the size of a backpack!:) Plus, it’s a fun way to mix and match fabrics that you only have a little bit of!

Babushka

This project was a light bulb moment! I was looking at the scraps leftover form the pocket book bag, trying to think of something to do with them. I hate to throw stuff out. But like Su said it will just pile up!! But, I was looking at a sleeve that I had cut off, and I thought it looked like a bandanna shape! So I trimmed it up a little, hemmed it and added some ties (isn’t this grosgrain fabulous?!:)) It only took about 15 minutes! Now I have something to make out of all those shirt sleeves that I usually throw away! Yay for me!!
