A few behind the scenes pics of a large project I just finished up for this week- weighted lavender eye pillows! (Look at that absolute mountain of fabric 👀)

Tonight I’m going to finish cleaning my studio and then slap one across my own eyes (using it cold out of the freezer is fabulous) while I try to avoid doomscrolling!

Another February sew is this adorable little (5.5” x 4” x 1”)
I love an opportunity to pull it my rivet press and the slip pocket front let’s me do that. The interior has three card pockets.
Fabric is Essex linen with a couple of fat quarters I’ve had in my stash for eons.

This month I have been having fun trying out some new to me sewing patterns, trying to get my groove back, so to speak.

I love this crossbody that I made. The owls and rose Essex linen paired up exactly as I had seen it in my head- yay! I improvised a bit on the strap because I only had 1” webbing & hardware and I really, really wanted to finish it. Next time I will plan ahead and make sure I can do a 1.5” wide strap.

I wanted a bigger tote bag for travel & Wow! This is So Big. Larger than I expected. Wrangling it on the sewing machine through final assembly was a workout. Super happy with the results.

Pattern by , exterior fabric is a print.

Unboxed! This lovely, new semi-industrial Brother sewing machine (PQ1500SL for those interested) was a Christmas/birthday present from my husband & kiddos back in December and I finally, FINALLY!! Have her unboxed and running. (too much travel) I started out slowly with a couple cute, little pinch purses and I am thrilled. Up next? A tote bag.

Happy Halloween 🎃
It’s been a busy fall but I am trying to find my way back to the sewing machine so I picked an easy project that I thought I would whip out in no time: napkins & place mats. Well, here we are on the last day of the month and I finally finished the napkins. So. Yay me? At least the place mats got finished last weekend so we could enjoy using them. If nothing else I have 8 of each for next year.
And, of course, I had to photo them with the plate and cup my mom made for me when I was 4.

After the successful first attempt with the polka dots, I moved onto the actual project I need to sew. Love how this bag looks in this Rifle Paper Co. canvas.
This bag is designed to carry a large water bottle and features a front pocket with card slots and two slip pockets that are roomy enough for a phone. An adjustable strap means you can wear this bag as a cross body or regular over the shoulder bag.
So very pleased with the final results for this !
I made a matching key fob wristlet as this bag and water bottle are off to be part of a fundraiser for Gwen’s new hockey team.

Here’s a progress shot from the Bag of Many Pins I was working on last weekend. Still needs a strap. Not bad for my first time having a go at this somewhat tricky pattern
