Tulle Tulle and more Tulle

For the last month I have been busy sewing Easter bags. My cousin text me one day and said she saw some cute bags online and was wondering if I could make them for her girls. Challenge Accepted!

I think they came out so cute. I LOVED seeing them when they were all finished.

Tulle and sewing took over my kitchen table... my poor family has not been able to eat a proper meal around the table without fear of tulle getting onto their plate, mom freaking out if someone spilled or bumping their arm on a sewing machine.

I am so glad that Stacy asked me to make the first bags for her and so thankful for everyone that bought one. I am taking a short break from making them, then will be adding them to my etsy shop.

I have seen a lot of people use these bags for dance bags, scripture bags, bridal bags, and as just a plain little girl purse (or the big girl who is young at heart). If you interested in one let me know!

And if you want to know what else I am working on...

Stay Tuned!

Ashbury Bag

So an old friend of mine is in this band called Ashbury. And many many years ago, I bought one of their shirts. I LOVED this shirt, and wore it all the time. Then I had babies and now the shirt didn't fit me. So i've held onto it all these years thinking "maybe one day I can wear it again." It was tight on me back in my skinny/smaller boobs days so noway is it going to fit my boobs anytime in the near future.


So anyways I ran across this blog Whimsical Creations, where a grandma had turned the kids old shirts into bags. (LIGHTBULB!!) I knew right away what I wanted to do with my old shirt.





















So I cut off the bottom and the sleeves made a square and sewed it together. Then added the sleeves as pockets one on the outside and another on the inside. Then made the bottom part of the shirt that I cut off into the strap for the bag and attached. I love the way it came out and can't wait to start using my shirt again!
