The weather has gotten nice here, finally, and outdoor gardening & chores combined with lots of sewing activity have made blogging almost impossible. Totes and clothespin bags have been flying out of the shop. A special thanks to all who have purchased something ~ it allows me to be at home and do something that I love to do~sew! The shop is looking pretty empty, so I am hoping also to replenish soon. Please know that I read and appreciate every comment you leave, and I am truly sorry if I haven't been around to comment in return. Thanks for all your support, and to show my appreciation I am planning a little give-away, so stay tuned...
These are a few of the things I finished recently. This bag is actually a design I've made before...
And this is a barkcloth messenger bag made out of the rest of the curtain panel I bought last fall...
I've made a few of these clothespin bags as well. The apple and pear fabric is so cheerful ~ it's a favorite...
I'm off to do some more sewing, fix dinner, and pick some rhubarb later. Hope you're having a good week!
Everything is so cute. I really like the "cutain "purse.Thanks for sharing your projects.
ReplyDeleteLovely purses, Debbie! My bloglines is filling up since I've been outside! I got alot of weeding done last night and I bought a patio tomato plant as a reward. :0)
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful week!

Your sewing is so beautiful! I understand about not having time to blog. I've been outside often these days planting, cleaning and just generally setting up for summertime.
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful week.
I love that top purse! The other bags are adorable as well. Purses are one thing I have yet to conquer.
ReplyDeleteI'm new to your blog - but I just love your taste and all the beautiful things you create! Thank you for sharing them through inviting and homespun photos!
ReplyDeleteDebbie,
ReplyDeleteLove the bags and I will eventually get to my barkcloth too--if I can find it after my move:-) Did you know it's National Aprons Day on May 14th! I am doing a giveaway on my blog so enter for one of my vintage aprons:-)

ReplyDeleteMmmm...I luv rhubarb! I think I finally found a spot where it likes to be since it came back this year. Usually it just disappears!
