Well, mini-backpack to be exact.

This is a custom order bag I just finished. She wanted a mini backpack and gave me ideas for things that would be convenient - like a place for her cell phone, a spot for keys and a pocket inside for things that she didn't want to fall to the bottom. She said she loved bling and that quilted was cool, and I happened upon the most perfect fabric.

I think I got in pretty much everthing she wanted and infused my style along with an attention to details and craftmenship (i.e. all seams being double stitched for extra durability.). I made the pattern for this one too.

My model is 9 yo DD, so it looks a little bigger than it is, but I wanted to share, cuz' I'm thrilled with how it turned out. So happens the new owner seems to like it too!! What do ya think?

My Cunning Plan

One of the things that I do pretty darn well is sewing. My mother taught me how to sew at an early age and I've pretty much been doing it for as long as I can remember. I can pretty much make myself anything I want - from new dresses to curtains to purses and headbands.

I am a real enteprenuer at heart. I am always thinking about ways that I can make money off of my talents, so it really doesn't surprise me that I've come up with my newest little plot...

I've been surfing the etsy shops a lot lately. It seems that sewn items sell really well there, especially cute little purses. I have some cute black fabric with hot pink polka dots that I've been dying to make a purse out of...

I've already drawn out the design, and made a pattern. Now on to cutting out the material and assembling it. :-) On to yet another side venture!!!
