I've silkscrened about 30 bags with this print, a Hand, decorated + lined. It was my first ...
I painted + sewed the fronts of these bags a month ago, but it was only after going to Puerto Rico (and witnessing hundreds of Carnival Cruise tourists with their tropical holiday bags) that I figured out how to design the rest of them. So here we are! Really simple ...
I made this purse in the Spring, in preparation for travel and drawing. The silk samplers come from Roberta by way of Mairead, soft + bright. My favorite combination of colors, with plenty of red and some paisley too....
I made three Sneaker Bags -- one Green, one Pink, one Red. They're all sturdy canvas totes, all made out of repurposed materials, ...
Another Dancing Dork Girl bag, this time with green satin dress, purple pockets, and a big blonde poof of hair. This time on a rose-pink messenger bag, with charcoal felt/violet button closure....
I'm making three tote-purses featuring girl dorks doing dance moves. Here is the first complete one -- a black tote, with a Number 2 pocket sewn on one side, the other side with a blonde haired, pink sparkly shirted girl in her big purple glasses heating up the floor. She/it's available ...
I've been dreaming up different scenes to sew onto small tote bags/medium purses. In the meantime, before fullblown domestic scenes, I'm experimenting with patterned circles and dancing figures. My favorite are the snowflakes -- using fabric or interfacing instead of the usual printer paper -- which only take a few ...

Thank you Grandma for picking up this truly bizarre wall hanging of a Cat-Rodent Man with a Wing Cape from Mexico, and for not knowing what to do with it when she got back to Detroit, and then passing it along to me for deployment elsewhere. Now it is a ...
I was going through old photos and realized I'd never posted these bags up -- they sold at Oakmont at Spring, and one I mailed to Poland, Babimost, and another I have kept as my ...
Elephant! I've returned to my elephant obsession, this time in the form of decals. Everything can be sewn with an elephant, with the trunk up with good luck. My favorite is the ...
Two more record album cover bags -- two more Talking Heads albums! This brings the Talking Heads bag total to 4. I want to keep them all, but I will instead put them on sale and hope that no one buys them. [gallery link="file" columns="4" orderby="title"]
I've been laboring over these last week and yesterday, I have a whole stack of fatherly LPs to progress through. But for now these will have to do. I sold my first ones -- the Neil Young and the Prince -- this weekend, and I'll put the rest of them ...
The Grandma Bag! On the front: My Grandma Is The Best Grandma, and on the back: She Will Beat Yours At Scrabble (Seven Letters - No Mercy). [gallery columns="5"] The bag is made from a fresh pair of Goodwill jeans courtesy of Alice, and all kinds of felt -- thanks to ...
I made this purse last week, on my Loop Handle Purse kick. I made about 12 other reversible bags from all kinds of upholstery and shirting fabrics. Alice bought a few of my Masked Avenger ...
Or any other face of my choosing! I am going to make some bags out of LP casings. There's one over at Web Goddess that is more a hardware project than a sewing one, but I guess in the battle of Sewing Machine Vs. Cardboard, Cardboard will always ...
I've got a whole backlog of upholstery fabric and felted wool (thank you Catholic Ladies Groups and Great Aunts, who love to give me things, and my basement for accepting it). Now I'm trying to figure out some non-Tote Bag bag patterns to employ them with. [gallery link="file" columns="5" orderby="rand"] U-handblog has ...
I'm making a whole crop of bags, most of them sewn with my Little Masked Avenger. [gallery] They'll be for sale at the I Made It! markets, provided I do not collapse from sewing anxiety before that. I guess my Avenger could also be a kid in a cat mask, I ...
