Another Necessary Clutch

I just finished another Necessary Clutch to go with my Wavy Tote Bag!  I love this fabric!


I have a mistake or two on the clutch.... will try again to perfect it!

Wavy Top Tote

I was wanting to make myself a new purse and was unsure of the pattern.... low and behold I found a free pattern on Sweet Bee Buzzing that I love... I would of gladly paid for the pattern!  I used my Michael Miller fabric and love it!  This purse pattern will get used again and again!  Thanks to Bethany for the awesome pattern!


The exterior has a nice roomy pocket on both sides!

Below is my new label that I made on Spoonflower!  I just wished I had bought a red zipper for the closing!

Can we say loads of pockets in the interior!  I even put a hanger for my keys which I can never find!  (Thanks Judi A. for the idea!) 

There are three good size pockets on each side of the interior plus a pencil holder on the inside besides a zip pocket!

Bag of the Month .....

Here are all six of my Bag of the Month Purses all lined up for a picture.....  Considering I didn't join this adventure till May 2nd when it actually began January 1st.... I think I did ok!

Now I am trying to decide which pattern to make a purse out of for me!  I know what I want just have to figure out if I am going to use one of these patterns or find another one?

Pincushion....

Yes, I made yet another pincushion.... I can't help but see a cute one and want to make at least one! (or two)....  I found this one it is a "Mini Gigi Pincushion".... I love it and liked making my own piping and covering the button too which was easy peasy!!!!

Hope you are having a great Sunday!

WOOT WOOT All six Bag of the Months are Completed!!!

YAY!!!  I have now completed all six of the bag of the months!  I did not join till May 2nd and  I knew when I joined I would be behind from the start, but I made it before the end of June!  I would of made it sooner, but a few other purses and wallets got in the way.....

The June Bag of the Month is designed by Chris W. Designs and honestly she is the one who got me into this.... I bought a pattern off of her website and saw the advertisement.... Her patterns are great and full of pictures!  This is the City Slicker Bag and she will have the pattern for sale sometime in July!  I love it!  I will be making me one in another color soon!

Here is the June Bag of the Month....

Been a busy week, my sweet little 2 1/2 year old grandson stuck something up his nose (a piece of a styrofoam airplane) and after a trip to the ER with no success of getting it out he had to have minor surgery to get it out.... I babysat for the rest of the siblings one day.... Then Thursday my youngest daughter and her family traveled to see the "sister" and nothing this momma/nana likes better than to see all of them together so we traveled again and celebrated 2 birthdays with them and today we are traveling again to celebrate one of the birthdays a second time.  The 7 kids had so much fun together, one family is city kids and the other family are farm kids... so the city kids traveled to the farm and they apparently had a blast!  It was good to see my daughters having a terrific visit!!!!  Their daddy/Grandpa would of been so proud of all of them, I know without a doubt Poppa Gary is smiling down from Heaven!!!!!

Mason Jar Cozies....

If you remember this time last year I was crocheting Mason Jar Cozies like crazy and making lids for them....  I am still crocheting them occasionally (made a teal one just last week).  I decided I would try to make a fabric one with some fusible fleece and maybe it would be somewhat insulated and keep drinks cold longer.  This is what I came up with!

Oh yes, that is a string hanging in the middle and the straw is pink not red!

Happy Friday Morning to you!  Hope you are doing something awesome this Father's Day Weekend!

The Steph in the City Bag

Just finished up the Steph In The City Bag pattern by Janelle at Emmaline Bags....  Love the pattern and Love the fabric combination!  I added and extra pocket panel on the interior and I used Annie's Soft and Stable, next time I will try it with just the fusible fleece.  I mainly did it because for the person I made this for, she will be traveling and wanted a little extra protection for a camera!

I am really liking the little "Handmade" tag that I also order from Janelle!

The inside below with zip pocket, and pockets on each side of purse!

Love the zipper closing at the opening of the purse!

another view.....

Have a Blessed Thursday wherever you are!
