Sneak Peek

Dena and I have been busying ourselves with jewelry making and a new tee design to help support our dear friend, Brittany. She will be leaving this summer to be a missionary to Ukraine! The proceeds of this shirt will go towards her fundraising/support. We are taking orders to be printed very soon and will make extras to sell at the upcoming Spaghetti Dinner Craft & Bake Sale. It will be happening on Sunday, May 17th. Will post more about it later.

The design is tentatively going to be printed in bright pink/magenta ink on a light colored long tee. You can check out Brittany's facebook group page for more details.

Sewing Project

My friend, Kate, asked me to help her sew a purse. Not sure why she asked me, since I too, have little sewing experience. However, we managed! Below are photos of the purse I constructed.

Here is the pattern we followed - we left out the zipper as well as using
interfacing because we didn't feel that it needed it.

We felt the inside lining really added an extra "professional" touch.
Kate also modified her straps to be a longer length for a comfortable fit.

Now, don't look too closely or you might spot an imperfection....

If you dig this purse, check out Jenna Lou's website for patterns. If you live in the Minneapolis area, her patterns can be purchased at Crafty Planet, along with all your sewing and crafty needs.
