Wow, I cannot believe we are about to begin 2013 already! 2012 just flew by, and what a whirlwind it was. I got my first "real" sewing machine last Christmas and I was able to spend some quality time getting acquainted with it. It's been good to me so far, I can't wait to see what the new year brings.
Some of my favorite bags of the year:
 |
| Bubble bag using the it's a cinch tutorial by Sweet Verbena. Not only is it a fabulous bag (I have two others and I ♥ them!), the tutorial is fantastic and even takes the scary out of adding a zippered lining! |
 |
| Tulip Tote (pattern by Kay Whitt as in Sew Serendipity Bags) Love this bag! I even made one in orange that I carry all the time! |
Then I had a slight infatuation with Chevrons:
 |
| Modified from Simplicity 2396 |
 |
| Chevron Fold Over Tote, my own design |
 |
| Chevron Tote #2 Another Simplicity 2396 |
 |
| Spring Bag Simplicity 1905 |
 |
| Flame Tote From Butterick 5622 |
 |
| Diaper Bag from Sew Serendipity Bags by Kay Whitt. First off I want to say that this was easily the most challenging bag I have ever done (zippers GALORE, but the pattern by Kay Whitt was fantastic and the bag is such an awesome design. However, although I loved the way the construction came together, I LOATHED this fabric from the get go. It was a bag for a friend, who picked it out for her sister and I had little input there. Besides looking like Vera Bradley vomited this out, it made the list. |
Some Crochet Projects:
 |
| An aqua cowl with some fabric buttons...I discovered that fabric covered buttons are pure MAGIC |
 |
| Chunky Peacock infinity scarf |
 |
| Fan stitched Coral Scarflette |
And I tried my hand at embroidery and discovered I
really enjoyed it!
Looking forward to 2013!!!!
