November Update

A lot has happened since my last post.  Things started evolving and I started working with applique and quilting techniques on my items.  I've also polished up my work a bit - the more you do it, the better you get!  I have an Etsy shop now and am continuing to create items to list.  I did my first craft show Friday and learned so much about presentation, displays, items that sell quickly, etc.  Here are a few of the items I've made lately using recycled clothing. 

 One of my favorites, a hippy purse made with carefully selected pieces of fabric which were sewn onto a black base.  I also added some beads, sequins and such to make it more interesting.  Note the buttons on top - they were cut right from a blouse. 

I covered wooden beads with fabric and made a bracelet.  It's light and really fun to wear.

 I also love making fabric baskets.  They are so light and easy to carry around.  I keep my materials I'm working on for the current project in this one.  Scraps, scissors, thread, needle, etc.  I'm hoping these will be a big seller for me.


Well, til next time.
