My first handbag using vinyl accents. This is the Regina Phalange Handbag pattern by Sincerely Jen Pattern Co. This was a challenging sew but turned out so cute. Lots of pockets and plenty of room for all your needs in a compact handbag. I see more in my future. There are two more sizes, Tote and Traveler.

It’s been a while but I’m still sewing…. Got these Oxbow Totes finished last night. I’m happy how they look but need to tweak the inside pockets a bit next time.

After a long week at work, I’m getting a few minutes of sewing therapy.

Finally ordered some size labels. My special order of aprons are coming along…. I can basically sew this pattern in my sleep now.

A three day weekend = sewing therapy! Making more aprons. Some for a special order and some just because I love the look.

First weekend in a while that I have been in the sewing room. I’m working on aprons and possibly a new bag.

More fun fabric for me…. I will be using this for pattern testing new patterns since the fabric is licensed for domestic use only. I got it really cheap at JoAnn. You never know what you’ll find in the clearance area.

Pink Oxbow Tote regular size. I played around with the interior pockets. Canvas outer fabric with cork accent. Love the structure the cork gives.
