Fabric, Dreams and Life

And technical difficulties …

Battling a lot this week!  I’ve really been sewing, really … but no photos.  I have the linings done for the handbags.  We got a new computer this week, and I haven’t been able to pull new photos.  And now we have to get through Halloween.  I finished the chef hat, but now I need [...]

Sorry for the Hiatus

I added a zipper pocket inside.

Two outside pockets on the side.
I love it!  It’s a little big, but will be perfect on the weekends, when I have to drag around extra baby gear.
