I finished more things... and made something for me!
No the robe isn't mine...
I made another robe for a happy little boy. Since I made the princess robe for his sister, he wanted a boy style for himself.. I couldn't let him down = ) He put a rush on me to finish it by this weekend so that I did.. He is a happy camper!!
Along with some new shorts ....
I finished my purse from the Jules Bag pattern. I'm not sure about the yellow binding.. I only had enough of the denim trim for the pockets.. I was hoping my mom would have more as she gave me the trim to begin with but no luck.. and no luck finding it at Joann's. So yellow it is.
I changed the straps on it a bit.. I like the look of multiple stitching on straps.. and it gives it a solid feel to it with no slipping off my shoulder.
Inside plenty of room!
I love the outside pockets .. good for throwing your keys and phone into and not losing it deep in your bag!
My next project up to do is a test pattern for a messenger bag!!! Wish me luck!

Seriously???
A whole month I haven't posted??? Whaaaa???
I have missed it though! And I got some goodies to show you!
Lets see.......hmmm some of you have seen some of this on my facebook, but I'll post them anyways.. I can't remember anything I've done lately lol
I made a jumper and a princess robe for my friends little girl. She turned 3 and she's a princess of course.. so I had to make the robe just for her = ) She loves it! and wears it to bed (as hot as it has been!) and had wore it to town once lol
I been making some custom E reader covers and been having some very satisfied customers !!! =)
This red one was a weird size for a Sony reader and I thought the cut out of the card board I used for sizing looked tight.. but the device fit perfectly!!! yay!
I designed a wallet.. again.. I made one similar awhile back and got mad at it and threw it in my corner , I think its still there! hehe
But this one I made this morning and I loved the colors I used and thought I had it figured out! It a easy pattern and not sure what I was doing wrong!
cute huh???
It has 6 card slots and a receipt/cash pocket.. I like simple.. I wanted a clear window for my license and I.D.
My receipt pocket will hold lots of receipts..
and it closes great!!! I stitched up 3 lines instead of one middle one.. it closes better! gives it a book like feel .
See my welted pocket!!! I'm proud of that baby!

I put all my goodies inside and closed it and it was TIGHT! omgosh what?
I wasn't happy with it.. what I did wrong the bias trim on the clear pocket is too thick.. and I used heavier fabric for the exterior and interfaced it ......blah!
So.. back to the drawing board..oh, after a power outage of about a hour !!!
I made it a tad longer and used quilter cottons and interfaced with thinner stuff.
TADA!!
I'm soo happy with this one! All my cards slots are roomy ,My receipt pocket will hold lots of receipts..
and it closes great!!! I stitched up 3 lines instead of one middle one.. it closes better! gives it a book like feel .
I believe I want to make some of these up to sell..My mom and I are going to try to get a yard sale going soon and I'll try to sell some of my crafty things.
I'm making this tote bag but ran out of the fabric I used..this is what I've finished so far.
I made a littler bag of the same patter and it was like way too small and love the pockets on this bag!See my welted pocket!!! I'm proud of that baby!
Theres a large deep pocket on the back and the dived pocket on the front.
I have to get fabric for the straps.. I used this pattern from HERE . I think I bought it from Joann's ,I can't remember for sure...
I'll be craft supply shopping tomorrow!! Got to get fabric for a new messenger bag I'm helping to test by Jane at http://projectsbyjane.blogspot.com/ .!!! She is very detailed with her patterns and I love them. You need to go over and check out her free tutorials as well as her Etsy shop!!!
