Stitches and seams...

Thanks so much everyone for the sweet comments on my last post! It made my day to get on and see all those comments. =)

Now, I'll warn you that this is going to be a huge crafty/sewing post. I have been sewing like a lunatic today and yesterday. So if you're not interested in that kind of thing, I apologize that your eyes may glaze over before the end. =)

This is the first clutch I've ever made. It was inspired from Etsy, but I came up with my own pattern (first time ever!). I love clutches-they remind me of the 1920's and 30's. For this one, I used a magnetic snap, but it turned out a little bulky.

For this one, I used two small regular snaps. It works better to hold the flap down, but I didn't get them on completely even, and the flap stills sticks up a little, which drives me crazy.


A cute iPod/phone case. I found this sturdy fabric at Walmart about a year ago, and it was so cheap that I got yards and yards of it. I want to make a tote bag out of it, too.

These are some bibs that I made for a friend of ours who recently became a grandma. I already made these three, so this finished them up. This one is my favorite:

Yes, the baby girl's name starts with a K. =) But it's not Kristin.

This one was specially requested by the GiGi (grandma).

The back all of the bibs have this fabric:

I love this little iPod/phone case. It's a strawberry poptart!

See the sprinkles?

And the inside...

Here's a new wallet. I got this pretty fabric on clearance at Hobby Lobby months ago, so I sadly don't have much of it.

And I was so proud of the zipper. =) It is the best, straightest one I've ever put in, and I was so happy with it (it's pink, by the way, not white).

I am completely smitten with this little iPod/phone case. And if I hadn't just recently made myself one, I would so be keeping this one. I took a ton of pictures of it, anyway, so I can always make another one like it if I want to.

It's dark denim, with red gingham inside, and little mushrooms/toadstools and grass embroidered on the front.

The lighting is not good in this one, but it's the same fabrics, except a large wallet with a heart appliqued on the front.

Wow, are you still here? =) Thanks for checking out my stuff.

Until next time,
