  • Sewing with Cork Fabric!

    Sewing with Cork Fabric!

    I’ve been busy making another bag for my friend. I call it The Gemma© Bag! My friend told me what style of bag she liked and very nicely let me go with the flow! She had her choice of Cork Fabrics and chose these two beauties. When it comes to choosing Cork Fabric, I learned…

  • Another Rosie© Bag and the Circle Craft Christmas Market

    Another Rosie© Bag and the Circle Craft Christmas Market

    The holidays are fast approaching and along with organizing and sewing for Designin’ December, I have been asked and have decided to make a few Rosie© Bags as gifts.  I have a few cut out and I’ll be slipping the finished Bags on here as they get done, so you can have a look at them…

  • Back again!  Are you bored with me yet?

    Back again! Are you bored with me yet?

    That’s good, because it looks like I’m only getting started … seems like I have been bitten by the “bag bug” and have made another.  My sister gave me a box of upholstery fabric (the cat “Sophie” is all mine) and I made my first bag with fabrics from it, my tote bag, which I…

  • What to do with a box of upholstery fabric …

    What to do with a box of upholstery fabric …

    In my quest for the perfect bags, which seems to be a never-ending quest, I have been looking at plenty of styles and sizes, and learning a lot along the way!  My sister was kind enough to provide to me an overflowing box of upholstery fabrics she found while cleaning up and clearing out during…

  • The “ins” and the “outs” of my new Tote bag!

    The “ins” and the “outs” of my new Tote bag!

    I think I’ve already mentioned that I need to replace my Tote bag.  The vinyl is cracking at the corners and on the straps.  I have decided to strip what zippers and buckles I can from this one to ensure no waste … but the rest of it is too worn. My family, friends and…

    I have to have the perfect Zippered Crossbody bag … (Part 2)

    I have really been enjoying this project!  My inspiration was the Sallie Tomato Zippy Crossbody Bag.  I started it last post here and finished it just this week. There weren’t many details to finish it off.  Let me show you how I did it …

  • I have to have the perfect Zippered Crossbody bag … (Part 1)

    I have to have the perfect Zippered Crossbody bag … (Part 1)

    I used to buy more bags than clothes.  Every time I walked past a bag shop I would stop in.  After “just stopping in” a few days in a row, I’d finally buy what I had been looking at.  Now that I think about it, I pretty much always bought bags with the same “insides”…

  • What can I say?  I still had some denim strips left!

    What can I say? I still had some denim strips left!

    And I’m certainly not one to waste recycled denim!  So let’s make another bag.  This one is not quite big enough to hold my iPad, not like the last one I made.  This one seemed to go together quicker too!  Perhaps it wasn’t as “fancy” or perhaps I’m actually getting used to throwing them together?!?…
