Sunny day...

The last couple of weeks I have been busy like a bee. I had tons of ideas for a new Spring line of casual and formal clutches. I am really loving how they are turning out! I had to put a couple of projects on hold because unfortunately I hurt my wrist. Trying to sew with a arm brace is kind of tough. Anyway, here is one of my clutches! This one is called "The Dreamer" . All of the bags in this line will be made entirely out of vintage fabrics.

(below) Here is another bag, yet to be listed in the shop. I love this little guy! I wanted to keep him for myself! I will probably list it when I take better pics and come up with a name. I was so excited to find these vintage wooden handles and insert! I think it came out awesome!

Happy Wednesday!

The Crazy weekend

This weekend was kind of a insane and idea filled. I did manage to start a new collection in my shop called "Via Air Mail". I have been gathering fabrics and sketching ideas for this line for a while now. I have to say that I am pretty proud of it. I think it has ignited a spark in me that I was afraid I had lost. It is strange how simple ideas can make or break your day.

So in my frenzy of sewing and starting a new collection... I also moved into have an entire line of my own custom printed fabrics. Although I do like many fabrics of other designers, I never felt enjoyment making items out of someone else's vision. But now I can make my own vision come to life and it feels wondrous! I hope everyone enjoys them too (I worked really hard on these babies).

Here is a quick peek into my messy studio space. It works for now, but hopefully soon I will move up stairs (out of the family room) and into my own space. I hope everyone had a great weekend!

Cheers
