Sew Chic Bags

I've got a few bags completed and several more cut out and ready to go. I've had plans almost every evening to sew but little Kutter must be teething because he has NOT been cooperating with his bedtime!

Here are a few pics of what I've made previously, a few that are on the table to be sewn and a few that are on the shelf waiting to be cut. Why am I making these bags you ask? Because I'm totally bored and have nothing else to do! RIGHT!


Completed Bags


Cut & Ready to sew. The blue/brown/gold fabric is an incredible vintage piece I got from my hubby's grandmother's collection. The picture doesn't do it justice. It's one of my favs.


A few other pieces that are calling my name but are on the shelf for now.

I decided to get sewing for two reasons:

1. I want to open a store that sells handcrafted items by stay at home moms. I do not have the funds to venture into it now but someday I would LOVE to. So, my gal pal Natalie and I are going to give the idea a test run and are currently organizing "Handmade for the Holidays" open house. If you are interested in being a vendor, please contact me. More details will be available next month. We are SO excited to be working on this project and anticipate GREAT success for all involved.

2. Any money made on these bags between now and November 1st will be donated to my BEAUTIFUL sister-in-law, Whitney. She is raising money to run in a half marathon to benefit research for Crohn's Disease. Please check out her blog for more info.

I will be getting these on etsy in the next few days. In the mean time, if you or anyone you know has any interest in these cute little bags, I will be selling them for $10. You read that right. . .just $10! I want to make them affordable for anyone who wants to add a little "chic" to their lives or to someone else.
