My Spring/Summer secret project!! A surprise quilt for my sister! Love how it turned out. The pattern is Artemis + Fowl by Toad & Sew. It was so fun to make that I must make one for myself…just need to decide on colors!

Got this beautiful waxed canvas & leather straps from ALFrancis Textiles and had to make the Pepin tote by Noodlehead. Love the color and it worked perfectly with the jungle print fabric I had in my stash. 🪡🧵🐅🩵

Early Birthday present from my mom! I have been wanting a Singer Featherweight for a while. It was made in 1941. Had her serviced and she is sewing like a dream! 🪡🧵❤️

Had some extra green leather so I decided to make a wallet to match my bag! The pattern is the Minimalist Wallet by Noodlehead. Added a small d-ring so I can add a strap to make it a small clutch. Very happy with how it turned out!!

Decided to play with this gorgeous green leather I got last summer. Love how this bag turned out. The pattern is the Compass bag by Noodlehead. The strap is a belt the hubby didn’t want anymore! This is my second time making a full leather bag. I really want to take a working with leather class!

☀️Sewing Friends☀️
I had the pleasure of pattern testing this cute pattern from Oh Sew Gecko. She is called the Miss Bandolera! She is a cute boxy bag with a fun shoulder strap that has 3 different sizes.
The finished size is 8 3/4” x 6 3/4” x 4
You can do the flap with a lock or a magnetic snap. It has a zip pocket under the flap and an interior slip pocket.
This bag can be made with all different materials. I made mine out of denim and quilters cotton. The strap is a faux leather but she also looks good with a longer crossbody strap.

The Miss Bandolera pattern is on sale through November 9th!
