I'm super excited about this series I'm starting!  I'm showing how you can use key pieces and just change up the fabric to create a lot of different costumes.  I hope you all enjoy :)

Fleece Fabric Haul

101 Dalmatians Messenger Bag

I recently got the opportunity to do a custom order for a 101 Dalmatians messenger bag using a Disney 101 Dalmatians sheet.  It was a lot of fun to work on.  I always have a great time working on custom orders because I know who the item is going to be for and want to make it even more special then the rest of the things I make!

The sheet I used was a little thinner then I would have liked, so after interfacing the outer pieces I went ahead and sewed a piece of white fabric to the back of each (using a 1/4 inch seam allowance).  I then sewed the bag together just like normal.  This gave an extra bit of stability that it wouldn't have had otherwise.

The bag has a large zipper pocket in the back, two front pockets and an adjustable velcro closure.

Here are some quick pics I took of the bag before packaging it up.

Check out my tutorial if you want to make your own messenger bag!

Birds on a Wire Painting

I got a great idea on pinterest for a birds on a wire painting.  I've pinned several that I like and decided it was  time to give it a try myself!  I picked up a printed canvas at Goodwill for $4 and used some acrylic paints I had on hand to create my own wall art.















Here's a quick video I made showing how I did the painting.  Hope you enjoy :)
