Another item has been added to my etsy shop!

I used a vintage curtain that we brought home from Todd's Grandmother's house for this vintage reusable shopping bag.  The curtain lining was also used for the lining in the bag.  This is larger than the typical t-shirt bag, measuring 16 inches wide with a 15 inch tall body and 26 inches total with handles.  Visit my etsy shop for more information and to see other items I have for sale.

Pretty Pretty Pretty!!!!!!

Yesterday I decided to sew a few more cosmetic bags. I used the upholstery fabric books that I got from Kinsey Interiors. The large book gives me just enough fabric to make one bag out of each large page. I used interfacing and muslin for the lining. These are listed on my etsy shop for $7.00 each if you are interested.

Navy/Maroon/Green Floral (This is no longer available, I gave it to my friend who works at Kinsey Interiors - she gave me a BUNCH of zippers and the fabric sample books that I used to make them.)



Blue/Green/Yellow Floral





I decided to take a day of vacation today, so I'm enjoying my quiet home. (Listening to Dave Ramsey's radio show via the internet.) I have a couple more cosmetic bags I'm working on, and I also want to do another one for me to take to work. Also, I need to print off more labels since I'm almost out of them. I wish that meant I sold a bunch of items, but that's not the case :-(

I'll post more tomorrow if I have time to get the photos taken.

Have a great Monday (if there is such a thing...) LOL
