Busy, Busy, Busy!


This fall I was very busy with charmer totes. Just a reminder on size as it is hard to tell in these pictures, but these bags are quite large and roomy at 18" wide, 13 1/2" high, and 9" deep. I have been selling alot of these for different uses: diaper bag, overnight bag, game bag, and all sorts of other uses, but the consensus has been the same. Whatever use each person has found, they are loving their bag and usually want another one! Also a reminder that I now have a Facebook page: Creations Of Mine , so I hope you will check it out and click "Like" to receive updates.Monday, December 27, 2010
Ipad Case


With all the lovely new gadgets out there this year: Ipad, Kindle, Nook and with these being a big item on people's wish list, I decided to design a case. I was in Best Buy the other day when I overheard a women who was looking at Ipad cases say "Why don't they make anything cuter"? Well I love picking fabrics and making "cute" or visually appealing items as you can see from my bags. What you see above is my own design for an Ipad case and can be easily modified to fit a Nook or Kindle. I used soft minky fabric to cushion, protect and almost wipe the screen clean when being pulled in and out of the case. I have to admit that I am very pleased with how my first attempt turned out and am excited to make more!Thursday, December 2, 2010
A Gift


Here is my latest sewing project and what I consider my greatest accomplishment yet. I got the pattern from Moda Bake Shop and used a Moda Bliss jelly roll with a brown minky for the the backing. It is a quilted shawl for my 93 year old grandmother who just moved from her house to assisted living. She is giving me her 1956 Bernina Record sewing machine and so I wanted to make her something really special. This is my first project with binding. Thankfully my motherinlaw was able to help me learn how to do the binding and I actually made this in less than a week. Even though a little pricier than what I usually spend on fabric, the jelly roll was wonderful and made the project go even faster. I love Moda fabrics now!
