I have no person in mind for this, I just wanted to make it. Maybe it will be a gift for someone or it can go towards a potential market booth in the future. I used the same pattern as the mushroom bag earlier. It looks like this and the dimensions are around 10″ x […]
When my family was cleaning out my grandma’s house after she passed, they found a small bin full of deerhides. Some were in decent condition, some were pretty stained up, but there were enough to be used. As I am the only one that really sews or uses leather, they ended up at my house. […]
I had a wedding to attend last weekend, and after finally finding a dress to wear, I needed a purse to go with it. I remembered that I had purchased a printed leather from Bespoke Leather Buying Club, so I got to work with a purse. I ended up adjusting a pattern I had drafted […]
Week 26 – Jun 25-July 1 Clean your Sewing Space/WIP I cleaned the space as some of my daughter’s college friends were coming for a visit. I wanted to let them each have a room, but they ended up just staying in my son’s open room. At least I got it cleaned up…it needed it: […]
Luckily this was an easy theme to follow. I wanted to make a backpack to bring to the renaissance festival that looked renaissance festival-y. We ended up travelling to Texas to visit friends and go to the Scarborough Faire. I had several things to make. I used some deerskin leather that we found at my […]
February was a bit harder to get things done. I had a hysterectomy later in February, but earlier in the month I also got sick. Then I got sick AGAIN later in March, which I am still struggling getting better. These do not go well together. Coughing with abdominal surgery is no fun. Painful, so, […]
Catching up on some posts that I should have made! I did share this on Instagram when I made it…well, after I gifted it. I drew my sister-in-law’s name for Christmas this year, and I had noticed that her purse handle was hanging on by a pin. I asked her if she would like me […]
I promised a prize for a sewing contest with my Sewing Mamas group of sewists, and finally got around to making it. I gave the winner a choice of leather colors and she chose the kelly green. I think this is a lambskin…it has been awhile since I purchased it. This is my leather bag […]
After I made the last bucket purse, I wanted to make another one with my own fabric. I ordered a couple of my designs on different canvas fabrics from Spoonflower. This one is my celtic phoenix design. I also made it a little bigger than the last one. This time it did drive me to […]
This was another purse idea that came from looking at Pinterest. I really liked the look of the bucket style bags with canvas and leather. Made it a little easier on construction and the different materials looked nice together. Some of them had backpack straps, but for this I just did a shoulder strap. I […]
