well i’ve been quite the crafty lady lately.

It started with reupholstering my dining room chairs, which led me to make curtains. I’ve watched my grandma sew my whole life, and she was always teaching me how to do different things but for some reason once i was no longer at the age where i had barbies to make clothes for i lost interest in sewing UNTIL -  i successfully made curtains & i realized – hey that was alot of fun! i want to sew more stuff!! So after getting an amazing 1956 singer sewing maching from my grandmother, i was ACTUALLY sat down and sewed something like my grandma has been telling me to do for YEARS.

as a thank you I made my grandmother a lined cosmetic bag,

It was a total sucess!! & I was hooked! I made more for all the lady’s in my family that i love! my mother, my aunt, my mother in-law, and myself of course!

I

I made a green bag for my fellow Irish best friend

And i started getting Snazzy with it, adding an awesome decorative button

Now that i’ve got the cosmetic bag down, i’ve been constantly looking at more and more patterns and craft ideas hoping to expand and learn new techniques -  And i plan to share them with you here as i go!
