Shaggy Heart T-shirt




Just having a little fun trying out some new techniques.There are SO many wonderful Indie crafters out there and so much fun to be had!This technique is done by using strips of another T-shirt, sewn into a heart shape to give a textural, "shaggy" embellishment. I'd like to thank Ashley at www.makeit-loveit.com for her wonderful tutorials and ideas!!!

Handmade leather bag




I have been very fortunate to get some free top grade leather. What to do with such beautiful leather? Make a handbag of course! This is my first attempt at sewing leather on my machine. It was slow going, but in the end I'm very happy with the results!( 14 x 14 x 5")with a chain strap, with leather woven inbetween. The lining fabric has little blue birds on it!
