Still Crafting up a Storm

Less than 2 weeks left until Belmont’s Bizzare. These two weeks will be filled with tons of crafting after work. I have a bunch of aprons left to finish, as well as other little projects.

I just finished 1 “batch” of lined zipper pouches. These would be perfect to use as gift bags for the bias tape or recipe cards. And the recipient can use them later to stylishly carry makeup, feminine products, or just the essentials in place of a purse (cell phone, money, keys, driver’s license).

Sorry for the bad pictures! It’s night!

I have another batch of these all cut out and waiting to be sewn, too.

    You know I saw an article in Good Housekeeping (it was July) and they showed something so very similar, possibly smaller, but lavendar sachets. Hope that maybe helps you somewhere :-)

    Thanks Heather! I’ll definitely post when they’re up in the shop.

    Wendy, thanks too. I hope the show goes well… I’ll take pictures of aprons before the show!

    Thanks Natesgirl. Glad you like them!

    Guerrillaaesthete I did make the tags. Simple! I just printed my design onto printable cotton poplin and followed the directions for that… then I ironed fusible web to the back and cut the tags apart.

    So when I want to attach one of these suckers, I just have to peel off the paper backing and iron it on. Much easier than the sew-on kind I have been putting onto my aprons.

    Did you make your tags too? Every time I see yours, I think they are so adorable. I am looking to have some made for a friend of mine, but I don’t want the stodgy old-lady ones you always see.

    Wow! They’re so finished and polished and cute! The fabric isn’t my personal style but you do SUCH a great job with all your various projects I bet you’ll do great at the sale! Can’t wait to see the aprons you’re turning out! You will take pictures before they all sell out, right? :-)
