New Line of Dress Up Bags!

These are some of my most favorite bags...I pulled out all the stops, and made they exactly as I thought they should...They actually hold a lot of stuff for a small purse because of the relatively wide bottom.  and they look so cute on your wrist!

Check out these bags on my Etsy shops!

Faux Fur Inventory (updated)

An Embarrassment of Riches...that's the polite way of saying I have a fabric store in my sewing room.  My gosh.  I put together my faux furs with some faux pleathers and I think I'll use this on my Etsy site, Faux Fur Frenzy.  I was pretty impressed with how much I have!

An Incredible Gift!

I had a lovely weekend at a gathering of friends I hadn't seen for a while.

What a pleasant surprise, one of them brought mounds of scarves, many of which were made in India.

I was so excited! I chose a emerald green one, with shiny silver embroidery and sequins; a red, blue, tan, yellow scarf with elephants and a lovely border; and an incredibly vivid aqua scarf among others.

Some of these I will make into incredibly unique bags, I can't wait!

I finished it!

I am modelling my newly created very brightly colored dress, with the Purple Madness purse: http://www.etsy.com/listing/33657915/purple-madness-2-purse

The cotton-poly fabric has stretch to it, so it's cool and comfortable. I have enough fabric left for a sleeveless dress or short skirt, so email me if you're interested in a price quote.

By the way, I LOVE this dress!

Is this bright, or what?

I'm making a Summer dress with this fabric--I love the retro 60's feel of this fabric. The fabric has some stretch to it too, so it would be comfortable as a close fitting skirt or dress.

Of course, a matching purse with the purse or dress would be the finishing touch...the lining of the purse could be an intense pink or dramatic black.

Maybe use round handles on the purse? Black or bamboo? I'll let you know when it's complete!
