I'm still ALIVE!

I apologize for my absence.  Lots of things going on here at the farm; had a sick house for a while and I've just been plain lazy.  But I'm baaacckkk!


I have lots to catch up on!  I had my first official (paying) "customer" for my sewing business!!  YEEAAAHHH!  Two diaper bags w/matching diaper clutches.  I am officially a business~~WOOT WOOT!

It's a combination of two bag patterns (here and here)

A closer look

On the first bag I made the strap more narrow to see how it would look.  I forgot to get a shot of the 101 Dalmations Diaper Clutch...sorry.  She informed me when I delivered her bags to her that she just found out she's got two more grand babies on the way.  She asked if I could make her two more...awesome!!  She asked for a second 101 Dalmations bag...I told her I would have to see if I have enough material left to make another one.  I make these from sheets...you heard me right...bed linens!!


I will be showing you my latest thrift store treasures...so stay tuned!

The 2 in 1 Stroller/Messenger Bag

The colors my daughter chose for Bailey are pink and brown...so pretty!

















I found the pattern and tutorial here.  Then I was off and running!!  I bought like 10 yards of fusable interfacing at Wal-mart and didn't know until it was too late that it crinkled...A LOT!  I mean with every move this bag makes...it makes crinkle sounds...LOL!  My daughter said she didn't mind...it will let her know if someone tries to get in the bag.  So here are pictures of the finished bag...

This bag has no pockets or hidden zippers, but I love the strap!  So I'm thinking of making Whitney's messenger bag but wider and with this strap!  Stay tuned!!
