Pumpkins Gone Wild Fabric by Moda

Wristlet
I bought this epattern from youcanmakeityourself.

It turned out really cute and has a little pleat in the front and 2 rings for holding the handle, which can be as it is on both on the same ring for a loop. This view shows the credit card slots.


Here is a view of the zipper inside compartment suggested for coins.


A bigger view of the inside.

I absolutely love this fabric and have made several items with it. I will show them all.

Fall is my very favorite season, and I really get into it. I can just gaze outside and adore the weather and the scenery.

Sew-a-thon of purses, evening bags

This is velvet in the Peace on Earth fabric by Moda and absolutely gorgeous. The lining is the same thing only in cotton tone on tone.


These are made with the same velvet and the lighter one is brocade. They have shiny satin fabric on the insdie and a cord handle. I still have not decided how to do the closure. Any ideas?

another hobo type bag only slightly smaller

I made this bag for friend Connie. It is very similar to the one I posted last called Hobo. This one is smaller but the same shape and handle and inside pockets with magnetic closure.
For 2 years I have been stuck on the tote type with the boxed corners etc. and now I have branched out.
I love this bag and love carrying the one I made for myself. It is so comfortable and eash to use. I discovered by lengthening out the handle it will fit across my body like a hipster type bag and would be perfect for traveling and shopping etc.
This fabric is Michael Miller inside and out, of course, my favorite for sewing.

New Pieced and quilted Tote

I ordered a pattern and dvd from Justine Foster called the bag lady carrying bag. I love the pattern and loved even more the dvd. It is awesome to watch her make the bag with such ease and such talent. I learned so much from her it was like taking a class.

I made the small size and it is approximately 15 inches wide and 11 inches tall and 6 inches deep. It has side pieces and also a bottom piece and everything is quilted. She even demonstrated stipple quilting on the dvd and hand stitching. It is awesome.


I wanted to show a side view so you could see the side panel. On the inside there are pockets on the sides also. I like that.
The inside has a document pocket and then pockets on both sides and the ends.


There is a loop and button closure and also one on the document pocket.

I love this pattern and am going to to try again and see if I can make one similar to hers.

Her logo is Love & Stitches

Since Fall is my favorite season, I used Moda fall fabrics and a few o thers and think it will be freat to carry in the fall, and I love the document pocket. It is awesome.
