Tote Bag Evolution

Yesterday - what a day! I spent the morning blogging and managing my business's website and social networks. Then in the afternoon I sat down to start sewing all of those beautiful precut fabrics. I also added some more fabrics into the mix - 1/4 yards that I cut down into 5" squares to make my own charm packs. It was a long but very rewarding day. My stack of precut fabrics has evolved into a new stack of fabric.

This stack of work looks like a layer cake of its own kind! Layered together are the linings that go with each group of charms which have been sewn together to create bag exteriors. This fabric stack will next become four different kinds of bags...charming shoulder bags, charming cross-body bags, single-fabric cross-body bags, and junior sized charm bags.

Seven hours of worked summed up in one picture! I have two charm exteriors that are still awaiting the right lining selection as well. I love feeling so accomplished! I can't wait to get all of these beautiful bags completed and added to my business inventory. I hope to have the next phase of these charm packs evolving into tote bags done soon!

Long time comin'

I had hoped that I would have more energy to work while I have the house trailer to myself, but unfortunately that was not the case today. After a slow start to the day and still a much needed nap, I was able to muster some energy and get to work sewing. I am a quilter who always has a TON of UFO’s. Sifting through half-done projects, I decided to start yet another one. I decided to pull out a selection of fabric that I had purchased almost exactly a year ago and get to work on the quilt that I had designed with that line in mind. These fabrics and this quilt have been on my mind for quite some time, so this one has certainly been a long time coming. The fabrics are from the “Serenity” line by Heather Mulder Peterson. I absolutely love her designs! I have a good collection of her books and have really enjoyed every line of fabric she has put out for Henry Glass & Co. “Serenity” is by far my favorite of her fabric lines...

Creating a Blog Planner

I like to think I'm a pretty organized gal. But with a busy life and lots of work, my mental best laid plans for blogging are quickly falling through the cracks. I ran across this great blog planner through Pinterest and I'm getting ready to give it a whirl! The printables that Lamberts Lately developed here are absolutely adorable and I can't wait to put them to use! Another awesome Pinterest find was this great tutorial from Just A Beautiful Life on to-do's and best practices for creating your own blogging binder. Between the great advice from both of these sites, I've got a start on my own blogging binder. I did a little office supply shopping (honestly, I love shopping for office supplies!) and picked up a cute colorful binder, some tab dividers, sheet protectors, loose leaf lined paper, and post it notes to put together with my freshly printed blog planning sheets. I have a three hole punch and nice markers at home to use already...

Hand Sewn Binding Tutorial

The more professionally accepted way to finish your binding is to sew it by hand to the back of your quilt. For heirloom pieces I prefer this method, but for quick, functional quilt I use the machine sewn method. The directions are very similar, but I will list them out here separately so that the directions are clear. Creating your binding Measure around the entire outer edge of your quilt and then add 20 inches to this measurement. Divide this total by 40. This new number is the number of strips that you need to cut. If you came up with a decimal, round your number up to the next whole number. For example, if your result was 7.6, round up to 8. Cut that total number of strips measuring 2.5” wide x the width of fabric. To connect your strips together, make the seam on the diagonal. Lay the first strip right side up and the second strip on top with right sides together, perpendicular to the first strip. Sew on the diagonal from point to poin...
