Coffee Cup Cozy

Here's an adjustable coffee cup cozy. I also made one to fit a can or bottle in the same style. I love it so much that I carry it around in my purse and use it whenever I can!

More Cute Clutches

All three of these clutches are padded with quilt batting and are sooo soft!

Coffee Cup Cozy

Here's a coffee cup cozy to use in lieu of those wasteful cardboard ones you get at Starbucks and other coffee shops. I'll post new pictures if I get a cup to model it on.

Wallet

I made a little quilted wallet today...

Wrist Cuff!

I love wrist cuffs and I wear a leather one that I bought in Spain almost every day, so I decided to sew a fabric one with a snap closure. I made it out of a scrap piece of linen fabric that I had leftover from one of my favorite prints and I sewed a strip of flannel on the inside for support. The inside of the cuff is a tan wavy-stripe fabric leftover from a the liner fabric of a pouch I made.

Tissue Totes

These little cuties hold a travel-size pack of tissues. Perfect for Spring allergy season!

More ::oh snap:: pouches

Quilty ones from repurposed fabrics:

Same look as the little lipstick pouch:

A more unisex pouch:

::oh snap::

Last night I made the first pouch in my ::oh snap:: series (of course I had to make something after yesterday's purchases). It's a little lipstick pouch in a simple black cotton with a tan design on the front, matching tan lining, and a black pearl snap closure.

Shopping Day

Big day at the fabric store today! I bought fabric (of course) and snaps and scissors and presser feet and interfacing and all kinds of good stuff. Now I have to find the time to sew!

New Style Pouch

Here's a new 5" x 3.5" pouch I made today. I have some tweaking to do on the construction but I think it turned out pretty cute. It's sewn in a quilting style but instead of using quilt batting for the middle liner, I used flannel.

Zippers

I just ordered a bunch (so many that I'm kind of embarrassed to say) of ZIPPERS so I can make lots more bags! My friend Marissa and I are talking about getting a booth at the Virginia Highlands Market towards the end of summer. She'll hawk her awesome paintings and I'll try to sell (or trade) a purse or two. Should be a great time!!

First Collection of Bags from ali-sewn

I've been sewing like crazy and having so much fun coming up with designs for purses, clutches, and pouches! This is what I've done in the last week or two:

These two clutches have pretty full-length pleats on the front and back!




The pouches... I love these little guys!




The purses:



And the one that started it all... Devon's birthday gift (I used a Made By Rae pattern for this one):
