The Road Trip Wallet from Emmaline Bags is actually what I've been using for a few years now, it has SO MUCH room and such a fun style.
Wallet and matching bookmark, why not? |

I'm really not sure where last week went, I know things got worked on and stuff happened, but I think I was in an allergy induced haze for most of it. This week is starting to fly by as well, so I really need to make sure I don't forget to finish up the other blog posts!
Just a few of the ready to ship items I need to list! |
It makes me laugh when people talk about how 'short' February is...but being 1-3 days shorter than every other month really does make a difference! I still got a good amount of things accomplished this month, including another fabric destash. At this rate, I'll be able to fit everything on my shelves in only 5 more years!
My 'test' vinyl zipper pouch works great for holding my wip keychain stuffies! |
Usually when I do a pattern test, I go for something fun and the easiest materials recommended for the project. Not this time! The Cross My Body Bag has instructions for adding quilting to your pieces, but I have a gorgeous pre-quilted vinyl from Wizardry, Stitchery, and Crafts that I've been saving for something epic.
I really wanted a project to show off the Glossy Glitter vinyl (Mint to Be color) and Tangled 626 fabric that I got from Oh So Pretty Fabrics, and it needed to be quick...Opal Organizer from Styled Magnolia to the rescue!
I was so excited to be chosen for a guest strike spot for Oh So Pretty Custom Fabrics, which as you might guess, has the PRETTIEST fabrics! The one I got to sew up was a super fun Tangled and 626 mash up, which is both pretty and EPIC! I searched around to find a good pattern that would show off the panel, fabric, and the vinyl I received, and the Ninebark Backpack from Sew Sweetness, which had just been released, was perfect!
One of the prettiest little backpacks I've ever made! |
Another month is flying by, and things are getting done! I'm starting to get the spring cleaning itch, where I want everything to have a nice and neat spot, but I just have too much to fit on all my shelves and cubbies...so I guess it's time to destash! I'm actually on track with orders too, trying to get them out in 4 weeks (or less!) and still squeezing in pattern testing and fabric promotions.
Did I mention that I'm starting to make stuffy keychains? I needed something else to make, obviously! |
