fabric sneak peek!

I'm stepping it up and working my fanny off to come up with something really great in the way of handbags... here's a peek of what I'm working with!

spring fever!

As requested, I've been working on these beautiful shoulder bags!  I've been toting mine around for weeks, and I must say- it's light and wonderful!  I carry lots of extra things with my two boys... snacks, pacis, toys.... and this bag totes it all but still looks fashionable.  Although they take quite a bit of time to make, I'm selling them fairly cheap compared to other "hobo handbags/shoulder bags" because I WANT people to buy them and use them!
I've named them The Jessabelle Hobo Handbag!

learning handbags can be seeeew frustrating!

Check out this beauty I made last night!  It's lined and functional- much better than the one I've been toting around for a day that I made on a "whim!" It's now on Etsy for sale! I love, love this fabric and since I wear a lot of jeans and solid color tops, this makes the perfect accessory!

busy hands make a happy heart!

I've been steadily sewing this week!  Even broke out my sewing machine to attempt a handbag (with no pattern... which is normally how I function) and it turned out "okay."  Don't know that I'll be making anymore of those without a pattern!

Okay, and as for the pups- 2 Cocker Spaniels, 2 Golden Retrievers, and 2 Pugs are complete!  Still have to finish sewing up the Bichon Frise for a very special person (and she was right, it was probably the hardest one to do so far!).
