Week of Sewing

I have been working on many sewing projects. I just finished a reversible pinafore dress, messenger bag for myself, and a messenger bag for my 4 year old nephew to carry hot wheels.

Where is all takes place...

I know I haven't blog in a couple weeks. I have been overwhelmed with my Etsy shop. I started with only two inventory items and I received my invoice say you need to pay your etsy fees. I went to pay and only had forty cents they would not let me pay 40 cents because you have to pay a minimum of a dollar and you can not pay a dollar because you only owe 40 cents. So....I need to get busy. I had three betty shoppers ready to go with a help of my assistant (my dad) the grommets went all the way through the bags living four little holes in my bags!!! :( so sad material and time wasted. Luckily I had a birdie sling and one of the three betty shoppers survived. I need to make a bag quick so I made a grocery shopper which turned out really good. Will be posted on my etsy shop this week so keep watching.


I don't have any pictures of my new bags or the wristlet that I will be showing soon.



I do have pictures of where all these creations take place....

Here is the fabric sad but that is mostly scraps of fabric not my whole yardage!!! I know too much fabric but you never have enough!!

Here is a picture of the machine behind it all my Huskystar C10 by Husquvarna Viking. I love my sewing machine but then again I was using a Singer from mid-70s. I have had no problems so far but had it for almost a year probably needs a tune-up!

This is a picture of pointy kitty pattern it is a WeeWonderful Orginal pattern. I made this for my niece and nephew, twins. I think they enjoyed it.

Welcome!

I am new to blogging but not to crafting. I am going to use this blog to show off my craft projects. I love scrapbook and sewing tote bags or even making little clothes for my nieces and nephews. My favorite patterns are simplicity and Amy Butler. I love funky print material something that stands out makes people go that is interesting. I hope to keep you all up-to-date on my crafting projects as I am working on them. I also have a Etsy shop at handmadebyjessica.etsy.com. Below are some examples of bags I sew. More to come! Enjoy!
