Birdie Sling


My first Birdie Sling.  I carried it to Bible study today and I had no trouble fitting all my regular purse items plus my Bible and study book.  It is really big.  It would make a great diaper bag.

Brandi's Diaper Bag



This is made from the Happy Bag pattern.  I used fabrics designed by Tina Givens called Chloe's Imagination in the Oberon Reds.  They are gorgeous fabrics and it was fun to make a bag using color combos I hadn't used before.  I love these browns/reds & creams together and I think they make a neat one-of-a-kind creation!

My First Toile Bag


I made this bag for one of my mom's friends, Elaine.  I discovered some iron-on letters that were a neat monogram style.  They have a velvety texture.

Handbag Sized Frenchy for Joanna Timm


I've always made the big Frenchy bag, so I tried the smaller one that is more like a handbag and it is really cute.  It has all the pockets on the inside too.  

In Town Tote for Nikki's Niece


Okay--in person this is one of the cutest purses I have ever made.  I was blown away when I sewed it together and was able to pull the purse out of the lining to have this cute thing revealed to me.  Perfect for a date night or a teenager!!

Nikki's Diaper Bag



This was made using the Happy Bag pattern, but I changed the closure.  The pattern calls for three small loops and buttons and I changed it to one big tab.  I also did pockets all around the inside of the bag of all sizes so she can use it as a diaper bag.

Most of the fabrics come from Anna Maria Horner's Chocolate Lollipop line and a few others thrown in there as well.
