Oh, it's been a while since I last posted anything real here...just finding the time to sew has been hard, so I am not surprised I don't have much going on with the blog! But now that hubster is working later shifts, I have free time to sew at night, although I'd rather be spending time with him. :( Such is his life in retail!
I am currently working on a handbag project for a dear friend. I will post pics of it when it is finished, which should be this week if all goes well.
In this pic, I am installing a recessed zipper. I am really loving this technique and would like to try this on the small satchel someday. It is 100% handbag security since there is no way anything can fall out.
Here is a random picture of a jar of buttons I got today at Ross. I had no idea I would find anything useful there when it comes to crafting, but these buttons are PERFECT for what I have in my sewing plans. They are big, colorful, and fun. Yum.
In other news, I have changed the look of my shop (again). I really like this design! It is sweet and fun and totally me. The redhead with the bird on her hand is just so perfect! A graphic designer from Brazil made this banner, and it is quite different from anything I've had before. She did an awesome job! So I hope to start some new things for the shop once this custom order is finished. I want to incorporate some children's stuff as well as *big girl* stuff.
:)
It's nice to know that Ross may get crafting supplies! We get some nice things at the Knoxville store... I'll have to check for crafty things next time I go, just in case. Big Lots and Dollar Tree also have some nice sewing and knitting supplies occasionally.
