Where has the time gone – September is right around the corner!
After many renditions I am happy to present my LOGO!
I had an idea and worked with Juan, (a friend of a friend) and we came up with this little gem.
Soooo worth the wait!
(See the bottom section under the “about me tab” for Juan, the stamp maker, and “web guy” information)
This was the first re-work of my wristlet pattern. I liked the contrast of the green with sharp black suede and white stitching (the stitches were too crooked for me though!)
This was the second – I made the flap longer & used a magnetic snap instead of the turn lock.
This was the final version with the longer flap and magnetic snap closure.
This is another carrying option – a single chain.
Sans flat top (awesome for going around corners and such!)
I really like my post machine, but sometimes I’d prefer a larger surface to sew my big flat pieces…so I created this little beauty. A box just the right size with a little inside support and a hole cut in the top did the trick.
Like magic or too ghetto? Dunno, but it works (uh, did I just jinx it?)
Just for fun and to match the kitchen.
I think the pattern was from an older magazine – leftover scraps from the window dressings for the Country French Provincial kitchen…
I had been shoe shopping before I began class at leather school and picked up these little beauties…
I absolutely LOVE this shoe shop in Florence! Their selection is amazing and the people extremely helpful. (Angiolo Benigni – Calzoleria “La Fiorentina”)
I just had to have a bag to match, so I made this little over the shoulder bag. The bow comes off so I can add other accents and wear with more than one pair of patent shoes. Genius!?
The light colored interior has a zippered pocket.
