Orders are starting to go out the door once again!

This is a set of reversible seatbelt cozies, a car trash bag (or organizer) and a matching mask!

I tried a few different seatbelt cozie patterns and ended up creating my own.

I never knew I needed seatbelt cozies in my life until I spent a couple months trying out various patterns!

The final version I went with is a pattern I created. Soooo soft and comfy!

Hello friends! I’ve been enjoying the summer with my little family, learning new skills, creating content on YouTube and trying to figure out how to best serve all of you.

I have to say that the current state of Covid has thrown me for a loop. My own little one caught it and became very sick. He was too young for the vaccine and got it from someone who was vaccinated.

He was born 13 weeks early and his illness brought back so much of the worries from his earliest days.

But, I’m getting back to mask making because so many of you have messaged and asked for them.

It means so much that you turn to Charming Cheek for your mask needs.

I’ll also be selling my original patterns and making YouTube tutorials if you’d like to try your hand at making your own.

Be looking for Ready To Sell masks in the next week or so!

Here’s a pic of an upcoming product - the adorable Piper ID holder. This pattern is from Linds Handmade Designs and is fantastic for keeping spare change, masks and keys handy.

Learning my way around this beast so that I can bring you more fun projects!

This delightful set was delivered today to one of my most supportive customers - in fact, my first customer that I didn’t personally know.

She was incredibly patient while I worked to find the perfect Alice in Wonderland fabric.

When a fellow bag maker showed me a piece of this print I just KNEW this was the one I’d been looking for.

The H2O To Go Sling is a pattern by Linds Handmade Designs. It’s one of my favorite to stitch up. The finished bag holds a large Yeti travel mug, keys, cash, cards, a phone - and more!

If you’d like one of your own please reach out and I’d be happy to make one just for you.

As pictured, the sling is $65 . Additional upgrades are available including premium hardware and collector fabric.

The masks, tiny totes, key fobs and nifty notes can be added to any order or purchased separately. There is a discount for sets (pricing depend upon the options you choose for your custom project).

Hello friends!! I’ve been appreciating this little breather in mask making so I could explore some other projects and grow my skills - plus return to a former favorite hobby - cookies!

I made this little bag this week - it’s an attempt to reduce theft. The zipper is against your back preventing someone from unzipping it while you’re unaware. The design is the brainchild of and is officially known as the Guardian Backpack.


The groan-worthy pun and embroidery design is courtesy of yours truly!

This bag is available for a custom order (starting at $125).

Pricing will depend on the hardware and fabric you select - plus any custom embroidery/embellishment. If you’re interested in collaborating with me to create a one-of-a-kind bag, please send a message and we’ll get your bag scheduled for production!

If you’re hoping for a bag tag making video then today is your lucky day!

I am SO EXCITED to share this video with you. My very first YouTube tutorial was demonstrating the etching tool on these bag tags. While there’s some promise...

Here's a PNG version of the project file for the bag tag washers. If you'd like a PDF version please message me here on the page and I'd be happy to send one your way.

Good morning! I told you all that I've started up my own little tiny corner of YouTube. I hope to offer something for everyone. However, this tutorial is geared toward my fellow bag and wallet makers. Looking to join the bag and wallet making community? I highly recommend you start by joining the Linds Handmade Designs group. There are terrific patterns for beginners and experts, plus tons of tips and tricks to help you along the way.

I'll be updating this post with the YouTube link once it's uploaded. Thanks for taking a peek!

Hi! I hope you’ll find this free little bag tag washer handy—it’s a free companion file for the bag tag waterslide project I’ve created for you. You'll find tutorials for the washer and the bag tags on my YouTube channel - just search for me using "Charming Cheek". I'm uploading them today (...
