Time To Start Over

Spring has arrived here, finally, although today is a bit chilly and damp, kind of going right through me.

I love days like this for it's coziness, curl up on the couch and watch a good old movie

or to bake a wonderful Gluten Free Banana Choc Chip Walnut Bread

But days like this are not good for Fibromyalgia, not one bit. It was close to 90 degree's yesterday then today

in the 60's and chilly and damp,

bad weather for me.

The Fibro doesn't seem to want to just stay steady, I know I won't get better from it but it's getting worse.

I had to cut back on work, significantly, and I hope to be able to hang on to what I do have and not have to quit completely but time will tell.

So I decided to get back into my sewing. Making my handbags and selling them.

I have four orders right now, so I'm happy, and I hope to be able to have some more.

It'll allow me to work from home, do what I love doing and do it at my pace.

So we'll see what this starting over will do.

I have beautiful fabrics that I'm having customers choose from.

Prices vary from $30.00 to 40.00 depending if using trim and if so what type of trim. The price includes shipping in the USA, out of the country, sorry, I'll have to charge you for the shipping.

Trim can be added and solid handles as well 

 

Dragonflies and Lady Bugs:

Perfect for that little girl

Hot pink trim and pink handles will make this adorable 

 

Shabby Chic:

Pinks, green's and white.

Handles will be the fabric over the shoulder handle, can add pink or green trim as well

From top left Brown/Pink Polka dots with matching butterfly fabric

Brown/Pink/Green Polka dot with matching floral print fabric

Pink/Brown and White stripe with matching Floral fabric

Brown/Pink gingham and Toile

Coral and Brown/Coral and Green fabric

I would use dark brown handles either solid or beaded with pretty coordinating trims 

 

Green's:

Two left prints go together, green/pink/dark brown and robin's egg blue

Two right fabrics go together, a tweed green and brown with a cotton duck green, brown and cream fabric

Dark brown handles and coordinating trim will add the finishing touch 

 

Blues:

Two far left go together, blue, cream, dark brown, taupe stripe with the retro flowers fabric

Two far right are blue, dark brown polka dots with the blue and brown toile fabric

Dark brown handles and coordinating trim will be beautiful 

 

Brown:

Two far left, the Vienna Fabric, shows different Vienna scenes

Two far right, brown, pink, cream and green's

Dark brown handles and coordinating trim will finish these off 

 

Pinks and Black:

Two far left go together, black with pink polka dots and pink and black toile of the Eiffel Tower

Black, pink, green and white retro swirl is on its own, makes a lovely full purse

Add black handles and fun trim to the Eiffel tower fabric and black handles to the swirl 

 

Teapot:

The fabric in the middle is the main fabric with either the red or green to coordinate.

Add brown handles or black with trim and it's lovely 

 

Cottage:

Red and cream gingham with red and cream toile.

Add light brown handles and a pretty trim and its complete 

 

Red

Red and cream fabric will make a great one piece purse. 

 

Black and Whites:

So these go like this, the top left gingham goes with the two under it, toile prints.

The chevron print goes with the black with white damask print

The white with black polka dots goes with the white with black print damask

The black with white polka dots goes with the Eiffel Tower print

and the bottom two can either go together or make one bag on it's own.

Add black handles and some fun trim and it's done 

Have a lovely evening!
