resolution and a knot bag

So is it too late, or maybe too early, for a New Year's resolution? Mine. Is. To. Blog.

I've been so bad. Where has the summer gone? We've had a lot of craziness since move to Chicago and trying to get settled into life here. It's just so amazing how the days seem to melt away...I always have good intentions to post, and then I forget. I promise to try to be better!

This week I've been sewing little bags that are available in my Etsy shop! My initial intent was to make project bags for knitting (I love keeping my knitting projects organized in project bags).


These are Japanese knot bags. One handle is taller than the other...it's meant to slip into the other and form a closure to the bag.


They are great to hold a skein or two of yarn and your needles. They would also be great as a craft bag to hold small goodies, for cosmetics, or even as a little wristlet purse. The possibilities are endless!


The bottom of the bag is flat...this allows it to stand on its own.


Another added bonus is that the bag is fully reversible...cool, huh?!

You NEED one!

tater bags

BTW...this is an older post but, for some reason, it moved to more recently...

This weekend's project crossed over into the sewing world... tater bags! These cute little bags are for cooking potatoes (and corn and bread and...) in the microwave! They're great! I will have these available in my Etsy store soon... Once I make a slight revision to make them better! What do you think?

sewing again

Here are some more of the little bags I've made this week...






I love the fabrics... They are laminated cotton so they are easy to wipe clean!

cute little quilted list taker

I made another item! It's a quilted list taker made out of fabric scraps...




What do you think?!

saturday sewing...

I spent some time at my sewing machine today and made little mug rugs. These cute little pseudo place mats are perfect for your cup of coffee and a bagel or bowl of cereal! I just love these!






On a mission to make a bunch! I will post more of them soon!
