Farm Fresh totes!

I finally got my NAN donation finished and thought I would share a few pictures.  I lugged the totes along on a short vacation because I thought it would be fun to take the photos on the farm. I have to admit I love how they came out.  My NAN donation consists of 6 traditional totes, 4 classic totes, and 10 stablemate totes. Visit the NAMHSA site to learn more about NAN.

Vintagey goodness

While away on a short vacation with my parents and husband I found these fabrics while Antiquing.  Antiquing is usually not my favorite activity but these bright vintage fabrics were a bonus. Now I just need to decide what to make with them. I will post when I figure it out.

The fabric on the far right is fabric from an old feed sack. Women used to make clothes out of feed sacks so companies used the colorful fabrics as an incentive to buy their product.

Zippers and Pleats…Oh my!

I just finished my first attempt at pleats and adding a zipper. I just had to post and show it off because I think it turned out lovely, even if I had to rip out seams about 4 times..lol The picture isn’t so hot but you get the idea. If you want to try it yourself you can find the tutorial here at Skip to my Lou. I think my next project is going to be this cute gathered clutch. I will post pics if I ever get it right ;)

Latest donations.

I just finished 3 new donations to Rough Riders LiveCajun Country Live , and Peach State live so if you plan to attend any one of these shows keep an eye out for my totes!

Latest attempt at Screen Printing

I recently bought a start up screen printing machine and I’ve been busy delving into the inking industry :) My biggest project to date was my donation to Cookeville Classic Live.  Cookeville Classic donates their proceeds to Breast Cancer so I wanted to send them a special donation this year.  I designed a t-shirt logo and even some custom fabric to make special model horse totes for the show. You can see the items below. I have to admit they came out really well for my first real project.

I also finished a zebra  tote bag. Not the model horse type but the regular slide over the shoulder tote bag. The tote is now up on the Auction Barn.
