New Fabric and Upcycling

After receiving a wonderful gift of several boxes of out-of-print fabric sample books from a neighbor (thanks Mark!), I've started putting together some lovely fabric combos for some newly designed mini bags.













These Upcycled Grab and Goes combine several coordinating upholstery weight fabrics into a mini bag big enough to carry you phone, pda, ipod, keys, money, lipstick - all the essentials! Each one will be a one-of-a-kind, not to be repeated.

Have a favorite color or color combo? Convo me through Etsy (SewArtsy), and I'll let you know what the possibilities are! Have your favorite colors made into an Upcycled Grab and Go wristlet, messenger, or elbow bag. The bag body measures 11" wide by 6" tall, and features a zip top, one long slip pocket on one side, and a split slip pocket on the other.

Keep checking out the shop for new arrivals, and even more new designs for spring!

Happy Sunday! Amy

A Long Time Coming!

So it feels like longer, but yesterday I realized it had been almost 2 months since I've sewn anything for my shop. It was so lovely to cut into fabric, and be able to iron and sew and take some photos all in one day! It's hard with 3 little ones always grappling for my attention, but of course they come first. I was able to get into a groove because my youngest son was away visiting my parents, and my oldest helped entertain the baby. I can't tell you just how gratifying it was to finish a project in one day! I know it's a small project, but right now it feels like a million bucks!


I just listed this baby this morning! Check it out and tell me what you think!

Happy Inaugural Tuesday! Amy
