A New Favorite!

I told you I would make something super cute and fun with that fabric I found at The Cotton Shop!

I have to admit- I love this purse more than any other purse I've ever made! I want to keep it for myself, but then that sort of defeats the purpose of having an Etsy shop. Just so you know, it was very hard for me to part with this fabric.

The pattern is Down Town from Kati Cupcake (Love her!). The fabric is by Sanae for Moda in their Oh MY! collection and is absolutely TO.DIE.FOR. The colors are chocolate brown, burnt orange, hot pink, cherry red, olive green, golden yellow, & a hint of white in the outline. The bag is fully lined with a large and small pocket in the interior and a magnetic closure. The handles are dark brown rattan and complement the fabric perfectly. The outside pocket is a generous size as well. The decorative buttons on the pocket give it the ultimate finishing touch! This is the perfect bag for all seasons!



Here's a view of the back of the purse. I want you to be able to admire all of it's loveliness.



I think these rattan handles are the perfect accent for this purse. They go well with the tropical theme of the fabric, don't you agree?



I know, I love the buttons too... probably even more than you do.



The interior is super fun,not to mention functional. Check out the pocket and magnetic closure.





Please feel free to visit our Etsy shop for lots more loveliness!

Quilt shop 'til you drop!

I love fabric. I have stacks and stacks of fabric in my sewing room. Someday soon, I'll show them to you {smile}!

If I’m in a new city, the first thing I do is map the nearest quilt shops – much to my husband’s dismay. I think quilt shops are the best place to buy unique, high quality fabrics. My new favorite shop is in Morro Bay, CA. Good thing it’s about 6 hours from my house, or I would be in serious trouble!




On a recent trip to Spokane, WA, I discovered a great new shop called SewEZ Too. There I found beautiful new fabrics by Moda from their “Oh My!” by Sanae line.



Look for a fancy purse made from these gorgeous fabrics on our Etsy site soon.
I guess I'd better get sewing!
