Sam, Ellie and I were invited to a birthday party for a classmate turning five today. Her mom, a friend of mine, when asked what a good gift would be mentioned a few times a gift made just for Julia would be appreciated. Due to lack of planning, I started everything last night and had my almost five year olds wanting to help. We decided on simple. They picked the charms they wanted in the pillow, we made up drawstring bag from Jenn's pattern(LOVE THIS PATTERN) and made a truly EASY skirt with pre-ruffled fabric. What fun!
The best part was when Julia let Ellie and Sam know she was so happy to have something they made just for her. I hope my love of handmade always stays with my children.

Fold over again so that the edge meets your notch. If this is difficult to do, you can use a pencil and ruler to draw straight lines and fold along those lines, then press flat. Otherwise you can use your nails to crease the fabric flat. You may also hand stitch or pin in place to make sewing by machine easier.
The Whitby Goth Weekend. The biannual Goth culture and fashion gathering is the 2nd largest of its kind in the world, and took place on October 27th - 29th 2017 in the North Yorkshire fishing town. The origins of the Goth festival is said to be based around the town that writer Bram Stoker penned the story of Dracula, drawing inspiration from the abbey looking down upon Whitby.

Shaylen picked her own fabric for this one - she even bought the all-pink FQ with her own money :) So cute!
A pretty drawstring bag--perfect for a project/knitting bag--all done up in a cute pink/black color scheme. I added a patch made from a vintage Aunt Martha's pattern which I've stitched up in black/pink/green/blue.
I sewed dice bags/catch all bags for all of our "nerdy" friends we've made out here in LA... it was a lot of fun picking out custom fabric patterns for each of them. I think I spent hours at the fabric store :)
I followed the pattern listed below, except I added a double pocket to the front of the bags for some extra storage and to give the bags a little more umph. I also found that the inside seams were unraveling a lot so I did a zig-zag stitch all along them.
Pattern: sew what! bags
I like to make objects that are more than their functions, that have something intentional, something magical. I like to imagine that we can keep little treasures inside special pouches, like a secret of our own, like bringing a part of our childhood with us to our daily lives, our "simple happy things" .
These little patchwork drawstring bags were made with that purpose, but also in order to make the most of lots of small scraps of linen that deserved to be transformed into something, rather than being disposed.

Repeat on the other side.
This is simply one example of how you can use my bags. Here it is being used to store and carry Egyptian themed tarot cards for readings. This drawstring bag is Hand Embroidered in metallic threads. It is big enough for a large sized Tarot Deck or Oracle Cards. People have also used these bags for jewellery, crystals, runes and more!
