sewingswag {custom bags}

do you know that i sew?.... almost becoming a lost art now a days; but me......

i come from a long line of seamstresses. both of my grammas sewed as well as my mom. 

clothes, furniture slip covers- they did it all. and they did it superbly. if i could describe the shirt i wanted, my gramma could sew it for me without a pattern.

i used to sew clothes for my kiddos when they were little, but as they grew up- (and they could voice their own opinion), slowly that changed.

then i found sewing on paper..... and love that almost as much as sewing on fabric. i don't hesitate for a moment to go and throw my paper under the sewing machine.

 but i have found a bit of a balance however between art and sewing in the form of bags and my dolls (current doll i am working on).

both the bags and dolls make great gifts and i am always open to custom orders. size, color, lined with plastic, maybe no plastic....you tell me. 

happy friday.

sewing swag {custom make-up bag}

i had been saving this fabric ribbon with the rooster for something special. 

and this custom bag for a very special friend was it.

this is the front of the bag.

loving these recycled t-shirt green circles.

this is the end cap and matches the small ruffle on the front because everything needs a bit of black.

this is the back. i had saved the fabric design edge and thought it was just what this bag needed.

the bags are all completely custom. i don't use a pattern, rather just cutting what i need and matching it up to fit the needs of the person.
