New Earring Style & Website Update

Hey Lovelies!

I forgot to mention that I also made some new earrings. I have a new style as well.

First let's get to the new fabric covered earrings. I have 3 new styles that I have made.

The leopard ones are show in the large size, the line design ones are shown in the small, and the polka dot pattern in on the extra small earrings. They can all be made bigger or smaller.

I found these fabrics and some others but I have yet to make earrings with the others so there are more coming so stay tuned for that.

Now to the unveiling of the newest style I have started.....

*DRUMROLL*

Giltter!!!

These are my newest creations! They are glitter earrings. They are the same size as the small ones (3/4") and there are more colors to come! (clockwise: silver, gold, purple, lime green, and teal)
Came up with the idea the other day and I have gotten a good response from them so far. These are all for sale AND there are more colors coming soon!!! I know I have to make black, red, and pink ones for sure! Look out for them!

On a side note I am hoping to start my website next week. I have found a domain and I am just coordinating with my photographer on when we will be able to do the photos for all of the items. Look out for that update as well! 

Well thanks for stopping by and happy sewing/crafting/scrapbooking or whatever it is that you are passionate about!

Studded Denim Clutch + A Pattern Review on Simplicity 2166

Hello Dolls!


I'm back from another break with great news! I just landed a great job...With....



Very, VERY excited about this! I have wanted to work there for years seeing as though I love fabric and crafts of all types. I know one thing for sure...My stash is going to grow like crazy!

Anyways on to the post! I made a denim clutch the other day while bored with nothing to do for a few hours. I was just going to make it plain but I ended up putting some studs down the front to change the look up a bit. I will put a photo down below. I also was trying to decide on a fabric for the inside and while rummaging through my stash I found the CUTEST navy and orange printed charmeuse. I figured why not! 

This is the photo collage that I put together of the clutch.

 So here goes the review:

Pattern Description: Clutch Bags

Pattern Sizing: One size

Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it? Yes

Were the instructions easy to follow? Yes, but I have made this before so I didn't follow them.

What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern? I love how quick and easy it is.

Fabric Used: Denim and a printed Charmeuse for the lining

Pattern alterations or any design changes you made: I added studs down the front of the flap to jazz it up a bit.

Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others? Yes I LOVE this pattern! It's perfect for beginners and veteran seamstresses

Conclusion: This is a great pattern to have in your collection. I think everyone should have a pattern that is basic for a quick bag when you need one to match an outfit or just because you want to make one.


Thanks for reading and have a happy Saturday!
