Vintage Fabric Find

I went to this thrift store and noticed these huge trash bins of fabric. I think I spent a total of $1.75. I found some totally 80's fabric. One reminds me of the movie TRON. And for the best, I found this big bag at the bottom...it was full of sample fabrics...I am thinking from the 60's. It is the perfect size for 1 mini wallet. I must have about 75 different pieces, and some have the names still on them....What a find...It was probably sitting there for months...:)

My BAG

I was getting tired of PINK...So, I was excited to start a bag for myself....I love it. Again the pattern required hand sewing the inside...BLAH..There has to be a better way? I did put a huge obnoxious sequence letter on my friends diaper bag pocket but forgot to take a pic.. It looked great.

The Bag to Match....But Pocket Unfinished.

I bought a new Simplicity Pattern on Sale w the cutest bags on it. My friend picked this one out to match her Diaper Clutch. The outside looks so great but the pattern required a lot of handsewing inside the bag which I can't stand. So, it has a few issues...I think it is still usable...but would redo the directions of the pattern if I remade the bag. Who makes these directions...? Anyway, the pocket does not looked finished to me...I was thinking of ironing on a Big Monogram embroidered letter...What do you think...too cheesy?

Third ones a charm :)

Finished the 3rd and last diaper clutch. They were fun but I am glad to be moving on. I am definetely not in baby mode anymore....I think this one is my fav...definetely my style. Hopefully, the new mommy will like it too.

Diaper Clutch #2- Spiderman

I love this spiderman print....I have been waiting for a boy so I can make something out of it.

Cupcake Diaper Holder and Wipe Case

I have been wanting to desing a diaper holder. I have 3 very pregnant friends in need of one. I prettied the wipe case too just for fun. It was a fun project. I was going to line it with somethink leak proof but was having a hard time finding some liner I liked.:)

NO sewing - cutting and ironing.

My son wanted skateboard curtains. I looked online and could not find anything I liked or could afford...But by chance we found some old potterybarn sheets at GoodWill with skateboarer boys on it...Sooooo, I cut them out and fused them to his curtains...Not bad for $1.99 :)

Summer Time

I decided to slightly change my design inside the mini's. So, I have been busy remaking 55 wallets and slowly uploading new pics. I only have 12 left to do. I feel like I am not getting much done. I have so much new fabric that will have to wait. It's summer time and my son is home, which is so fun. I have to change priorities to playing lego batman and no sewing. I am also helping my hubby do his homework at night (which is usually my sew time). So, sewing will be slow for awhile. :( I will have to live on seeing what all my friends make.
