It feels good to finally get back to some non-book related sewing. As further evidence that I am the most boring person in the world I just made a new version of the same bag that I have been using for three summers. See — first here and then here. But this time I mixed it up and added some embroidery. Ooh, I’m getting crazy now. The fabric is from Nani Iro’s Antique Label collection. You can find a similar bag tutorial here. I think I make mine a bit differently, but you can try it out and let me know.
Here are some Mother’s Day ideas from past projects.

Take a look at the latest Parasol Craft to find an interview with me! This is a beautiful magazine featuring the work of some amazing artists (and then there’s me). The beautiful illustration on the cover is by Yasmine Surovec, who also happens to be the creator of the magazine — she’s multi-talented! Included in the magazine are 118 pages full of handmade goodness, downloadable backgrounds, paper crafts with downloadable files, instructions for a hand drawn tote bag, and much more. You can download it for just $2.50, so save a tree this week and buy an online magazine.
