Christmas Projects Galore!

Thank you to all the wonderful people out there who decided that they want to give a handmade gift to their loved ones this Christmas! I have been happily sewing purses and bags in the last couple weeks to get everything out in time for the gift-giving!

My adorable niece will be getting her own Birdie Sling made out of Tina Givens' Annabeth fabric in pink. I love the colors, and I think it is perfect for an 11 yr.-old girl. I would post a pic, but I've already taken it to my sister's house so she can wrap it.

Another attractive sling for another order - this bright and happy red & black wildflower with polka dots. I bought some similar fabric in blues to make another one. I think it will be just as stunning - a perfect winter bag that emmulates the snow that we are not seeing despite the single-digit temps!


I also had an order for a tote for my cousin, Lisa, who lives in Colorado. I really love Amy Butler's fabric for the totes because the size of the bag allows the pattern to be previewed - kind of like the Sophia Carry-All. The bag becomes all about the fabric - which is good since it isn't cheap!
