Trade Show

So my sister called me several weeks ago and told me that she was signing up to do a small trade show in her city. She asked me if I wanted to make some of my tote bags to see if I could sell them. I said I would think about it and didn't really do anything for a while. I decided to take a trip to California to see my family and thought if i was going to make any bags I better do it now so I didn't have to mail them. Needless to say once I started I couldn't stop myself. Here are pictures of the latest bags, I still have two more to make. I had so much fun, I literally sewed for three days straight till my machine stopped. I have been sewing so much I needed to take in it for a tune up. None the less, I got most of my projects done thank heavens!

I tried to make each bag a little different. I made them different sizes, different handles, different stitching. I love all them and it was almost a little hard to part with them last weekend. Some have two handles, some have one. Hope you enjoy!

A side from bags I also created these great little infant car seat attachments. Instead of draping a blanket over the car seat to keep your baby covered, I made a mini blanket that attaches to the handle of the car seat to cover your little one. I can't take credit for the idea, I saw it on my friends car seat and thought it was a fabulous idea. After writing this blog I realized I didn't take pictures of all the ones I made, but here is a look at my sample. I made mini rag blankets with ribbons to attach to the car seat. Each one was made with two different flannel pieces with bating in the middle. They were easy to make and serve a great purpose!
