Fashionista Dreams

This is the side hustle bag pattern is from the  Bag of the Month Club , my first time ever making a bag like this, its a lot of work, but the end result is so worth it!  The side hustle features a large front slip pocket that was perfect for this bag rapport, adjustable and removable shoulder strap.  The back has a large wide strap for fitting over a luggage handle. It also has to tote style matching handles. The inside has a zipper pocket and a laptop pocket. This really is the ultimate travel bag, also perfect for teachers, for grade books, papers and laptops you might need for work.  This could be be made in so many different colors, and styles this is just the rapport I got from the current round over at  Fabriculous  and I thought it would make a great bag for a teacher and just in time for read across America coming up.  

I made this reading pillow slip cover for my brother for his birthday this week. As soon as he saw this fabric he really wanted something with it, but I already had some plans for me lol. I did come up with this great idea so we could both share in the junk food goodness.  This fabric is up for preorder over at  Royal Pixie Custom Fabric , they have some great junk food, and sweet treat prints up over there on this preorder. I was so excited to get this one, and I am looking at the chocolates to order. Check them out and let me know what your favorite is!  You may remember me mentioning I have an embroidery machine? I saved up all my birthday money, and was given some early Christmas money to get all set up. It is so cool to be able to add little touches to things, and really set them apart from other projects. For this reading pillow I put my brothers name on it and 2 of his favorite junk food items.  It is not perfect I admit but this was the...

Tested a great pattern from  Simple Life Pattern Company , the Samantha launched today! Samantha comes as a tunic, mini dress, and dress, has sleeveless, short, elbow, and long sleeve options as well!  I made this with my trip to Michigan in mind. So this is the tunic length, with elbow sleeves. (I may have made another I will share in a few days too) This gorgeous black/ivory stripe on dusty rose waffle knit is from  The Fab Clique , it is so soft! and the perfect weight, great for layering pieces or as a stand alone for the ever changing weather.  As someone who has gotten used to 80's/90's pretty much year round the high 60's of Michigan this week are well COLD!  EMAIL       WEBSITE       FACEBOOK       INSTAGRAM
