Thread Filled Thursdays

Sewing

Hey lovelies! I’m back, and I’ve worked on a couple of things over the past few weeks of NOT posting anything sewing related. I’m such a poor keeper of “themes” on this blog, that it’s pitiful. I choose to blame the kids. Because it’s my right.

This bag is the second that I’ve made, and I think that I love it more than the first. The photographer is a college friend of mine who became a photographer after a very emotional event in her life. She gave me a color scheme to work with and trusted the process (even though it was long.) I’m learning that while I love making gorgeous things, I will never be able to really mass produce larger objects because I want to peg the fabric for each individual. Sew Sweetness Paparazzi Bag The geometric shape gives it a pretty good edge and the hot pink gives it that “fun” pop of color. Sew Sweetness Paparazzi Bag Sew Sweetness Paparazzi Bag Sew Sweetness Paparazzi Bag Sew Sweetness Paparazzi Bag Lining Isn’t this lining ingenious? She’ll never, ever misplace her bag, and no one will be able to claim it! She has a camera strap in matching fabrics, minus the camera print fabric. Sew Sweetness Paparazzi Bag
I also made another Cosmo Bag! I’m getting pretty good at getting them cut out and sewn up in one afternoon or evening. This client makes hair accessories for a living, and needed something to carry her items to, for craft fairs. I guessed on the lining and it turns out that she’s in love with butterflies! Cosmo Bag Butterfly Cosmo Bag Orange Cosmo Bag Orange1So, that’s it. To all of my #sewists, what have you been up to lately?

      Jodi, you’ve seriously just made my night. I spent about an hour stalking, errr, admiring your blog and all of the gorgeous things that you’ve made AND I just snagged the Mommy Poppins pattern. I will get on that pronto after I fix up every single order to all the stuff that’s already listed. Such is life! And you’re also giving me the baby fever with all of your wonderful photos. Fanatic enough for ya over this way? LOL! Thanks for stopping by!
