Drawstring Bags

drawstring bags

Oh my oh my! I feel bad slacking off on updating
my blog these days! I've been super busy. That's all it is.
Busy life equals the least creation coming out of my sewing
space and that results in the lack of things to write about here. haha

Anyways, these drawstring bags above are the most recent
things I've made. I made these for my friends to give on
my birthday. Oh, yes! I had my fabulous 26th birthday
on July 23rd! I got to get together with my friends and
had a great dinner at the Elephant Bar Restaurant.
My friends are so super sweet!!



Vy gave me this really nice, cute bag.
Isn't it lovely?! The best thing about this is...


it's reversible!! I truly love it!
I want to make a bag like this. Such inspiration!

Another cute thing I want to show you is this vintage
scarf I found in one of vintage clothing stores
up on Haight street in San Francisco.
I love that area. There are so many stores that carry
vintage stuff that thrills me.


Joe and I are leaving for Japan tomorrow morning and
will be back on the 21st of August. Unquestionably,
I'm REALLY excited. I'm sure I'll take hundreds of pictures,
and I'll show you ones that are somewhat craft related
like fabric I find there and/or cute zakka stores.
And!! Remember I'm having a giveaway of things
from Japan once I get back. I'll try my best to find things
that are super cute and rare, so please look
forward to it if you're a big Japanese things-lover!


Here comes another pretty fabric basket!!

    Happy belated birthday! You are the same age as my daughter. She is not a sewer/crafter, but is quite a talented photographer. Have a great trip!

    The drawstring baskets are DARLING! And your birthday purse is very sweet. Happy Birthday and have a great time. I've made 8 more baskets for a total of 9 now and I tried making the pattern in different sizes. Such a great idea!! Thank you again.
