Making it mine

My friend commissioned a box bag.  I emailed her some fabric choices and she told me what she liked but to surprise her with the final selection.

So I experimented with a two-tone bag.

Bag-010

Bag-014

I like to coordinate the lining with the outer prints and didn’t want to run to the fabric store (only to be disappointed).

Bag-012

So I printed my own.

Bag-6

With a star rubber stamp and Sharpie “Stained” fabric marker.

Bag-4

Random stars on plain fabric.

Bag-1

I love how it turned out.

Box bags galore

Birthday Wishes Leah was collecting handmade items for a fundraiser so I sent a box of box bags and a few smaller cosmetic/what-not bags her way.  I suggested that she keep some of the bags for her five children family and donate the rest.

Reversible cover-up

My old sewing machine has found a new home with my brother.  There was nothing wrong with it but “someone” just wanted a different one with a few more bells and whistles.  I’m not sure what he’ll use it for but that’s alright with me.  He needs it so he can have it.

A follow-up package is going, too.

A cover.

Not just any cover.

But a reversible cover.
