Hello friends! We’ve got another winter storm system this weekend in west-central Michigan, so I’m using that as an excuse to sew! I’ve restocked the shop with two of my best-sellers: book sleeves and leather pouches, so make sure you check out the new options!

Another winter storm in Michigan, so it’s a great day to sew! Today I’m trying to finish up some book sleeves to restock my store. They have a lot of pieces so take me forever to cut out but they sew up pretty fast. Make sure you “favorite” my store so you’re notified when new items are released!

I’m now offering the cutest rag quilt-style coasters! The top is flannel with another two layers of flannel in the middle, and the backs are up-cycled denim. Then they have been snipped, washed, and ruffled! I love them because they are absorbent for sloshes and spills but not bulky, and no more hearing a loud “thud” when you set your mug down on a hard surface. (It’s a sensory thing 😵‍💫)

Check out the selection here!

I hope everyone had/is having a nice holiday! Sorry it’s been so long since I posted! Life goes by pretty fast sometimes. 😵‍💫

Here in mid-Michigan we’re in the midst of a good, old-fashioned blizzard. I hope everyone stays warm and safe!

There is still a sale going on in my shop for 25% off almost everything. I’m going to run the discount until the end of the year, so if you’ve had your eyes on something now is a good time to shop!

The tote bags are here! I am so in love with this style! 😍 I made these bags with 3 different options: no pockets, one row of slip pockets, and two rows of slip pockets. And guess what else! They’re reversible!
If you want to elevate your tote style, these are the totes you’re looking for!

If there’s one thing I like almost as much as purses, it’s totes! I love to have a variety of tote bags in all different shapes and sizes. As I was sorting through my fabric stash, I realized I had some larger cuts that go together perfectly, so I decided that some totes were in order! I hope to have a variety finished up this weekend and in the store sometime this week, but in the meantime, I thought I’d offer a quick peep of one of the selections.
