Weekend Projects - A Sea of Keyfobs

Hello Monday! I'm not ready for you! I was enjoying my weekend of sewing and not worrying about school and appointments.

So earlier this week I cut out about keyfobs from different fabrics and interfaced them, then Sunday I spent all day and ironed and sewed them up. All they need now is the Hardware! My biggest craft show of the year is November 19th so I'm trying to get some early prep done. I have several different items I'm making for the show so that requires a few of each, meaning at least 10 of each item or more! EEK! That's a lot of sewing! On top of tutu's and hair accessories.

Once I get the hardware added they will look like this! 

I'll be putting a tutorial together in the next few days make sure to follow along so you don't miss it! 

Happy Sewing,

The Road Trip Bag

I was lucky enough to be chosen to test out the new Road Trip Bag pattern from Sew Many Creations . The size of the bag was extremely large and a major first for me but I think I did pretty well. I talked a bit about it in my last blog post. ;)

Now, I can show her off all finished! The bag turned out beautifully and I was shocked, that while she's big, she's not to big, if you get what I'm saying. I got a good idea of how big the bag was going to be when I completed the font panel and laid it on my table. Not only did I get a sense of the size of the bag but I loved the fabric choices I had picked out! She was a stunning bag!

The panel pretty much filled up my craft table, a dropside, wood kitchen table that seats 4, without much problem. I was a bit taken aback as I knew it was going to be a big bag but upon seeing her laid out, I got a tad nervous. Anyway, the pattern, when you follow along, flows smoothly and the pictures help you understand what she is telling you. I had never made a box bag before so picturing it in my head was a little hard for me. But I kept with the instructions and as you can see she turned out fabulous!

If you find that taking on such a big bag project is a little daunting..... don't be nervous! Jessica, from Sew Many Creations, lays it out very well for you, just take your time, go slow, and follow her directions. You might stop and think that certain instructions won't work or that it can't possibly come together that way, but it will!! Trust me! I did the same thing! Unless of course you've made a box bag before than you'll probably understand very well. lol So if you're wanting a big bag for trips the Road Trip bag is a fun sew and I urge you to try it!

I hope to pattern test for Jessica again sometime as I really enjoyed testing for her and having a go at a something new!

Thanks for reading and happy sewing!

New Bag Pattern = Late Night Fun

Hello!!

I've recently signed up to pattern test a new bag pattern ( the Road Trip Bag ) from Sew Many Creations and it's by far the biggest bag I've made so far! I've since now determined, I need a bigger cutting mat if I'm going to be making these big bags!

I'm loving the outside pockets, the back will have an outside zipper, 2 handles for easy carry as well as an adjustable shoulder strap. I can't tell you how excited I am to see her finished! This is a fabulous pattern if your looking for a take along, travel bag and fairly easy to sew.

I decided to go with my Tula Pink Chipper line for fabric choice and so far I think I've chosen well for placement of coordinates as these pockets on the front of the bag are stunning! For the inside I've chosen a solid violet purple.

I still have the lot to do but will be finishing her up this evening. I'll post more info and pictures once she's finished and don't forget to follow me to find out when the pattern will be released! 

Thanks for following!
