My new Love

So sometimes I can't help myself when it comes to fabric and certain color combinations. What can I say? The whole reason I started making bags for people was so I could have an excuse to play with fabric and not have to spend all the money associated with it. But I do have moments of weakness. This moment started with my need for a kindle cover. I didn't want to spend a ton of money on a cover that wasn't cute and I couldn't find one that I liked for not a ton of money... notice a theme here? Then I got creative and decided I could make my own cover and it would be darling to say the least. I went fabric hunting and I knew I wanted to do something with yellow, I just had find the right one. I walked around until I found one that spoke to me. So I picked it up and came home and made my cover.
Well, before I knew it I 'needed' a new purse. And wouldn't you know I still had some of that fabric left from my cover. Perfect! I added some grey and yellow to it and I am in love with the result! I am normally a brown kind of person but I am completely won over by this grey! I am working on a diaper bag for my sister in law right now with the same shade of grey and I can't wait to finish it so I can share it with you.
I am constantly amazed at all the room these bags have and how much they hold! I was at the store the other day and the cashier asked me if it was a diaper bag. I said no, it is my purse, but it holds just about everything. Inside my head I was thinking... you definitely don't have kids do you?

Pears and Flowers

I made these two bags for a lady that picked out her own fabric and sent it to me. They are all corduroy fabric. I have noticed they have some pretty cute corduroy fabric choices in the stores as it is fall now. I have to say I love all things fall and fun corduroy prints fits right in there. I am working on some fall table runners right now and can't wait to share them with you when they are done.
