Getting Back on the Saddle

I've been pulled away from my blog to do other projects, but am ready to get back on it.  I have been collecting many fabrics from thrift stores, Salvation Army, Goodwill and hand-me-downs.  I will be making super cool grocery tote bags, purse totes; cell phone, ds, gps and kindle pouches; placemats; and purse organizers.  Plus I'll continue with re-fashioning old style clothes into modern, wearable ones. 

I made a bunch of cell phone and Nintendo DS pouches for my daughter's event at school.  She sold every one.  Here are some examples:



All the pouches I made were from clothes I had gotten from thrifting.  Most of the items were about 10 cents to 25 cents each.  Each pouch I made, I got better and better.  To take it to the next level, I'll need a new sewing machine.  LOL.  But the main thing is using my creativity and inspiration, because it sparks me up enough that my whole family notices.
