Keykalou bags in progress

December 11th, 2009

Before i start rambling about the really awesome “lots of pockets” pattern by Keykalou, I’d like to take a minute to ask if anyone else is super stressed about what to make/buy people for Christmas?  I personally am making just about everything (i doubt my brother would want a handbag or pillow covers so i’ll buy him something nice).  It seems like the big day is creeping up on me here, and I’m feeling a little stressed. That being said… this Keykalou “lots of pockets” bag pattern is keeping me going. I love it, such well written instructions and pattern pieces that are neat and tidy.  Now i need more, more patterns, more styles… more time to make them.  I made these two earlier in the week, I’m hoping to post them on Etsy sometime soon, but my camera is a &*#$@  when it comes to taking good pictures, so I’m going to wait a bit, but if anyone out in blogland wants to buy them in the mean time, feel free to email me and I’ll post them for you.the both have zippered pockets on the inside of them.

P.S.  I posted some Stampin’ up stamp sets and supplies in my Etsy store…time to de-stash.  Most of the sets are long retired, so this may be your only chance to snag them.   click the Etsy banner on the right to be directed…

I’ve been so busy sewing handbags, i have barely had the time to update my blog…but i promise i will. I just finished drafting my first pattern! I’m so excited, here’s the picture… I’ve called it the Roslyn bag… cuz Ros is my favorite little lady.

But first i’ll be getting my new sewing/embroidery machine  :)   I’ve decided on the babylock Sophia series, if anyone has any useful feedback on that machine i’d sure appreciated it!   I’ll be writing a tutorial with pdf pattern for this bag as soon as i can, i’ll have it free for download on this blog…so subscribe to my RSS feed to stay updated!  I have a few more patterns on the go as well. Alas, back to work… I’ll be posting another Etsy find later today so stay tuned !

I unfortunately did not have the time to search for an etsy find the last two days…so finally things have settled down… my house is clean and I’m well rested.

I found these adorable handbags at Pesky Cat Designs. This new York based designer and artist makes everything from original patterns and no two are alike. Visit their etsy shop here.
