Sewing can be Fun
Last summer I got reacquainted with my sewing machine. In the past I would take it out to sew new valances or a pillow or two. Last summer however I started making fun things. It started with a hobo style handbag I made for myself from a Simplicity pattern. Then I started making the hobo bags for gifts. That led to making cute little accessories to go with the bags. It all kind of snowballed. Now I have a small box I keep all the extra fun things in. If I need a gift in a hurry I can always go there first.
You can see that one is a checkbook cover, now that I see it, I may just use it myself. There is a small purse that can be used to hold a gift card and a key chain with a a small pocket that can hold some emergency money. I have a feeling the sewing machine may be coming out again, soon.
Girlfriend your on the ball! These are great, bet you could also put these in your etsy store. Love these colors. hugs, RoseMarie
ReplyDeleteI love the check book cover.I should start giving you my christmas orders now.I also like the other items to.Have a great day...........
ReplyDeleteSmart ideas. With all the little gidgets and gizmos that people carry around nowadays...the blackberries, cell phones, digital cameras, etc....cute and co ordinating cases are a very stylish idea.

ReplyDeleteBeautiful handmade treasure you madke.Love the checkbook cover...I bet you could take order and sell them. Hope you have a bless day. Ps...remember to leave my your address so I can send your prize you won. .
Those are cute ideas for gifting. I was catching up on your other posts too. Your new table and chairs make a nice little nook to sit and have an iced cold drink. What a thoughtful Dad you have.
ReplyDeleteps, I have been working on my ATCs but since I got a glimpse of yours I am a little intimidated!
Love them. I would use the checkbook cover too. Good idea to have some stashed in a box for gifts. I'm always making something at the last second. Will you be putting some on ETSY?

I am still working on ETSY....I just have to jump in...I have to have things just so before I take the plunge. It will be my work out there and I just want it all to be perfect. I think if I could concentrate on one thing it would be so much easier. I tend to jump from this to that. That is my ESTY story!
ReplyDeleteThose are cute! I have a love/hate relationship with my machine...I'm not a very patient person...LOL
