Minikins 2 Revealed!!

I am so excited to share this bundle of patterns with you today!

The Minikins 2 patterns are a group of 13 patterns from Sara @Sew Sweetness

It was hard to keep this secret sewing from you for these past months!

I love every pattern in the bundle which you can view HERE (affiliatelink ;)

I cannot choose a favorite from the group but these two are special because my DS brought the fabrics from Japan where he worked the beginning of the year.

This is the Epicure Pouch~

 It is just the perfect size clutch for special occasions. In fact, my DD borrowed it for a summer wedding. ;)

This is the Turnpike Convertible Wallet~

It is the perfect size for your cash, credit cards and cell phone when you are on the go and don't need a purse. ;) Your cell snaps into its own little pocket. There is a zipper pocket for change or bus tokens too. :-)

This is the Kanga Supply Roll~

It has all those lovely zipper compartments~ perfect for sewing supplies, cosmetics, art supplies,

or whatever you choose!

If you want to see all the patterns in the bundle, go HERE

to view Sara's video.  I will be back with more photos in a few days.

Until next time~

Happy stitching!

To be clear, the link I have in this post is an affiliate link, which means I will get a small credit if you use the link to purchase from Sara's site. Thank you!

Weekend Fun!

Last weekend I attended a sewing/quilting retreat and I am just now recovering. LOL

Not really! ;-)

But it was a fun and busy retreat! We had 83 retreaters this time. I packed my projects in a suitcase, and no, I did not get to all of them! 

 

I did get my BOM Christmas top together~

 

I will take a better pic once it is quilted. ;-)

 

I also got two other tops together, but since they are gifts, I can't show you them... yet.

I also pattern tested a couple projects~ can't show you those either. Sorry. Soon!

And I made this little Lazy Girl Designs set~

 

They are also a gift,  but I don't think the recipient knows I blog.

I also met a reader! How fun to be talking with Nancy (no blog) and discover she reads my blog! 

Hi Nancy!! :-)

I have much more to show you, but need to do a bit of sewing to finish things first. ;-)

Until next time~

Happy Stitchin'!

 

Running Late!~

Yanna, the designer behind Bag Options 

lives in Cyprus where she designs some really gorgeous bags! Her specialty is leather, but  her patterns can also be made with cottons, faux leathers, cork etc.

I was so thrilled when she asked me to test her latest bag~

The Mazarita Satchel

It is such a versatile pattern and I have loved seeing all the other testers bags.

She has a very special introductory price through today.

(Sorry I was gone all weekend and couldn't post sooner!) AND she is also going to send you a bonus tote pattern when you order her pattern (for a limited time).

Here is my Mazarita Satchel~

I used cork and a decorator weight cotton. 

 My machine didn't have any troubles sewing this and I just love using it!

Hurry over and grab your pattern!

Until next time~

Happy Stitchin'!!

...a mean one!...

I had a little fun with my embroidery machine today~

Nothing is glued down~ I am still going to fiddle with the feet a bit.

Happy Stitchin'!!
