Pink Messenger Bag

"K" is for Kylie. I made this for my daughter for Christmas to take to school. She loves when I make bags and always asks who they are for and comments on the fabric so I thought she would love one for Christmas. It wasn't easy hiding it from her while making it though!!!

Patchwork Diaper Bag with Owl

Brown, blue and green patchwork diaper bag with owl

Owl on patchwork diaper bag

I love the way this diaper bag turned out! The customer asked if I could make a small owl instead of my typical flower and well, doing something new makes me nervous, I'm a nervous person by nature but after checking out a little owl my sister of sweetnsassystamps.com created for a stamp set, this little guy came to be. I think he turned out really cute. I hope the customer's friend loves this bag as much as I do!!

Brown and Turquoise Diaper Bag

Brown and Turquoise Diaper bag

I love this diaper bag! It was ordered by a woman who is expecting her first child, a son in November. She wanted something with boyish colors but pretty for her. I think this diaper bag fits the bill and I hope she does, too!

After using this color scheme for the last couple bags, I'm falling in love with it all over again. I have yet to actually carry about a bag in this color scheme but one day, I will!!!

Brown and Turquoise Messenger Bags

Black and White Patchwork Bag

Black and white patchwork Izzy Bag

I have a customer turned friend from California who found some black and white fat quarters and sent them to me to make her a bag. It just so happens that around the same time, I had another order for a black and white bag so killing two birds with one stone, I made two of this bag, one with shorter straps and one with longer straps. Both my friend and the other lady who received this bag as a gift from her daughter-in-law loved their bags!!

Little Black Clutch

Little Black Clutch

I was going to the symphony with two very dear friends recently for my birthday and realized I didn't have a black bag to go with my black dress! So on the morning of the symphony, I whipped up this little black clutch. It was perfect for my camera, wallet, keys, cell phone and lip gloss. And the symphony was amazing! Watching it made me want to learn to play the violin and watch Phantom of the Opera(with Gerard Butler)again. It was a great way to celebrate my birthday with my two best friends!!

Purple Lovers, Prepare Yourselves

Purple Patchwork Izzy Bag

Dr. Seuss Diaper Bag

Photobucket

This Dr. Seuss diaper bag is new theme for me. I think it's a fun fabric choice and trust me, no other person will have a diaper bag like this! Dr. Seuss is great for kids so what better theme for a diaper bag?! It's a rather large diaper bag but I've found the bigger the bag, the better!! Who knew that having a baby would mean you have to carry everything with you except the kitchen sink!

Brown and Blue Diaper Bag

Photobucket

I'm a bit partial to the fabrics in this diaper bag that a customer ordered for herself because I made a diaper bag for myself when I had my son. I was so longing for something blue and boyish after having 3 girls so this fabric called out to me. I actually like this diaper bag better than my own because of the flower, it's a cute little addition for the mother. :)

Navy Mini-Messenger Bag

Photobucket

I'm learning that navy is a great neutral color. It goes with so many other colors, kind of like brown or black so this bag is a great grab and go bag with any outfit!

Colorful Izzy Bag

Photobucket

I've used this fabric quite a few times in other bags and this Izzy bag used up the last of the fabric I had. I'm a bit sad to see it go....but I'm sure if I searched the wonderful world wide web, I'd find some more. :)

This Tote style bag is a super cute smaller bag with a flap and straps longer enough to just carry under the arm. I love the fabrics!!

Brown and turquoise Patchwork Ashlyn Bag

I love, love, love this brown and turquoise Ashlyn bag with the patchwork prints!! It was ordered at my open house and I searched high and low, online of course, to find more of this fabric. I had gotten fabric in this particular line a few years ago at a local fabric store but they no longer have it so I was thrilled when I found it online!! I haven't made a bag in this colors for awhile and it was nice to see one of my fave color schemes again!!
