I've been doing a lot of sewing lately. I've finally got some time to myself, so I'm using it for fun stuff! I finally jumped on the bandwagon and made a Swoon block:
I did mine a little bit differently, though - first of all, I used Marti Michell's template Set A to cut the block (so much easier). Secondly, I decided to use all scraps for the one color. I love it! However, I don't see myself making any more anytime soon.
We received some coupons from Barnes and Noble the other day, and my wife insisted I take one to treat myself to this book I've been eying for months:
It's got some really awesome clothes in, and I've been wanting to start on a new wardrobe for a long time.
I also picked up the new issue of MollieMakes, which has this awesome camera strap on the cover:
There were pictures of some others inside for inspiration, and I cannot wait to get started. I'm actually considering doing interchangeable ones - I can't decide!
(P.S. - the people who do MollieMakes are starting a new magazine this fall about simple living. I can't wait to check it out!)
I'm finally getting things together to start selling my bags and wallets on etsy. I made a prototype for one of my basic bags yesterday. It was nice, because I was able to realize what was wrong with it. This bag is a tote bag size, but with much more oomph to it than your regular tote. There are two outside zippered pockets, and one non-zip pocket on the inside. The handles are seriously padded and heavy-duty. This will probably sell for between $65-80.
I made it for my wife, but I've got to take some notes and more photographs before she can have it.
I hope to start blogging more soon... We'll see.
