Charlotte Mary Jane Slippers

I recently got the pattern for these cute Charlotte Mary Jane Slippers from www.ithinksew.com. 

I had to make them right away....

I made my own flower....not exactly sure what all I did to make the flower.I had red fabric scraps sitting around from an attempt at quilting...it didn't go so well.  I had some squares and some strips...I used them both.  Instead of  sewing the flowers to the slipper, I added a pin on the back of each one and pinned them on. 

 I also added non-skid soles.   Sorry...I can't figure out why this pic keeps posting upside down.  LOL! 

The instructions for this pattern are pretty clear with lots of pictures of most steps.  I was able to sew these together in an afternoon.

Hoedown #73-Stilts

Hello!
This week's great image from Hambo Stamps is "Stilts."  How fun!  :)

Have a great week!

Faces--Amira Bag

Wow!  I didn't think I'd be able to make another bag in time for the end of Purse Palooza 2012....but I did!!  :)  My plans for today got rained-out.   I made this bag in about 5 hours (maybe a little less).  It helps that I used the pattern a few days ago. 
The pattern is "Amira Bag" from Kati Cupcake.  The fabric with the faces is from IKEA. 

 I made this a cross body bag, again.

Enjoy!

Teardrop Bag

This is the Teardrop Bag from Emmaline Bags. 

I used home decor fabric on the outside.  I also used the optional zipper closure.  :) 

Inside with zipper pocket and slip pocket

The only slight change I made (besides adding the bow); I made the strap adjustable. 

I just love all of the Emmaline Bags.  The instructions are very easy to follow and lots of pictures.  The bags are just adorable! 

Have a great day!

Ghastlie Amira Bag

Hello again!
As I was searching to find a bag pattern that would look good with the "A Ghastlie Family Reunion" by The Alexander Henry Fabrics Collection fabric my mother had bought, I came across the "Amria Bag" Pattern by Kati Cupcake. 

Looong strap.

This is the bag I made.  I only made a few slight changes when making the bag.  I made the strap long enough to be cross body.  I also added a piece of plastic in the bottom to make it stiffer...OH!   I also made the length of the bag longer...so that I could fit the design of the fabric on the bag without out making  it look too silly.

The flower is made from black fleece.

The inside.

The inside of the bag has one BIIIIG slip pocket. 

I really love many of the bag patterns that Kati Cupcake offers.  I think this might be the first Kati Cupcake Bag I've made.  The instructions were easy to follow.  There weren't a lot of pics. in the instructions, but I don't think it is necessary for this bag.  It is fairly simple bag to make. 


For the fabric of this bag I used quilting weight cotton and heavy fusible interfacing. 

Have a great day!

Ghastlie Crossbody Bag

My mom and I were out shopping at quilt stores.  We saw this fabric and had to buy some. 
Then we had to find a purse that would look good with the fabric. 

I used See &Sew B5273 Pattern, view B.

The Fabric is "A Ghastlie Family Reunion" from The Alexander Henry Fabrics Collection. 

Here is the inside:  The grey/black polka dot fabric is from Hobby Lobby.  So is the pink cotton.

The "other" side LOL!:

Have a great weekend!
