I’ve enjoyed watching my etsy shop grow this fall.  However, that means that I’m not getting a lot of sewing done for myself or the kids right now.  Here are a few of the things I’ve made for my shop lately:

All of these are available at www.personalitychildrens.etsy.com.  (And all those on the bottom row are customizable.)

It’s treat bag time.

And I’ve been sewing.

Lots of treat bags.

These are a pattern from Sweetwater.

And these are from Quilts and more.

So what’s going in all these bags? 

Why pear butter, of course.

Do you have any great treasures hidden in your stash? 

Not sure? 

I wouldn’t know either. 

Mom found a few gems when we moved her sewing room. 

During the move, I did some shopping helped her clear out her stash. 

This past Sunday, I helped myself to more fabric her whip up a few kits, patterns and charm packs.

This pattern is “Crazy Jack” by Pieces from my Heart.  Mom used a “Pumpkins Gone Wild” charm back and her’s will have a Jack-o-lantern face.  Mine uses a “Gobble, Gobble” charm pack and won’t have the face. 

These almost-finished snowmen are from another Pieces from my Heart pattern.  (Mom—what was the name of the pattern and the fabric you used?)  Mine used a “Holly Jolly” charm pack.

Both patterns were ordered from Fat Quarter Shop and are older patterns, so I don’t see them listed any longer.

Like?

I do.

This is Lila Tueller’s Bohemian Bag.

The fabrics are all from Anna Marie Horner’s Garden Party line.

This was a 2-day project, mainly because you have to wash it half-way through to fray the edges.

The bag is big for me. About 15 inches long. It could also use a stiffer lining.

But I like it.

A lot.
