Seems as though I am on a bag kick. I have made two in the last 24 hours. I am trying to use more of the black denim, and a pair of pants left behind by my roomy. Tote’s are pretty simple, and go together quickly, as long as I don’t get to detailed. Yeah, that is easy for me.. NOT! ha.
So, here you go. My two latest denim tote’s. Bags anyone????? Both bags are for sale. $25.00 each, or B.O. Thanks.

A little closer view.
I had been wanting to make a tie for a while. I finally cut one out, and it has been sitting for a bit. I decided to go for it today. It turned out fair. I can see where I goofed, and will do differently if I decide to make one again. I want to make a bow tie next. More sewing on the machine, and not much hand sewing. The pictures turned out pretty nice. Take a look for yourself.
Here it is tied! ha
My first tie.

I wanted to do something with the last pair of 501’s that wasn’t a bag. Decided to go with a skirt. Thought it would be nice to line it. HHMMM….Well, the skirt itself wasn’t hard. The lining was another story. After fussing, and huffing, I finally got it to lay correctly, but now that the skirt is done, I am not sure I like it. It looked nicer in my mind. haha. I think the lining looks great. The right side? Still on the fence about it. Anyway, here’s my attempt at lining a pair of jeans to create a skirt. LOL! This skirt is for sale. If you are interested, you can contact me at my email address. I am asking $50.00 or B.O. Thanks.

I tried to add some info to my original label, and I messed it up. I made some new ones, and I think they are better. Here is one I put on the bag I just finished today.
New and improved!

I received a picture of the sheer curtains I made for Peter hanging in their new home. I have to say, I am very pleased with how they look. Take a look for yourself.

I finished the curtains on March 7, 2011. I called Peter to tell him. We made plans to meet at Pete’s again on Tues. 3-8-11. We chatted a bit about the fabric, etc. He mentioned a possibility of doing some more work with the same fabric. He will let me know.
Check out the progress, and completion picks. I am very pleased with the result.
