Here is the Purse/Bag finished! This is for me....but I will be making more to sell. There are a few minor errors that I feel would not be good to do if I wanted to sell it. If I was to sell this one I would have to rip out the lining and re-position the pockets for one. But when I was putting it together I knew it was just for myself and did not take the time to position the pockets correctly!
(Sorry for the edit, but after I saw the pockets in the picture I thought I should explain.)

I have finished the other Apron I was working on and I am so happy with the way it turned out!
Do you like this one better Dad?
Dad wasn't crazy about the split legs in the other one. I however think it adds a sense of whimsy to it. I guess that is why I need to make different styles. As the saying goes "Different Strokes for Different Folks".



Then I started this purse/bag:
This is going together much faster than the aprons. I can see why people make them and sell them! They are very easy and quick!
Above the purse is the fabric I choose to line it with. There is a strap for the purse laying under the lining. When this is actually complete I will post another picture. After lining it and sewing the loops on I will be done. I want to finish this tonight, because I have to work this weekend. Also, I want to start the messenger bag which I have a feeling will take some time.


I also picked up more fabric at Joann's last night on sale for $1.99 yd, plus they always have great remnants so I like to go in and look through those as well. Morgan wants to make a Jean Skirt with fabric panel inserts. I think it will be super cute with the fabric she chose, which is orange with little white polka dots.

I finished the first apron today. I was so excited to get it done. I made Morgan model it, I purposely cut her head off because she didn't want to do it if I wouldn't chop her head out of the picture.
I have started the next one and I am learning with this one as well. It will be much different then the first one. I am still tossing around which fabrics to use as I tear out the seams and rip off the pockets.

This is what I have done so far with my denim aprons that I am making. This is the first one so it is taking a bit longer. I am sure after I get the process done and acquire more fabric scraps they will go together much faster. Plus I wanted to embroider the pocket of this one. I am really liking the way this is turning out. It will be hard to part with it.

Hopefully I will be finished with it by this weekend. When it's finished I will post pictures. My plan is to make several different aprons and open an etsy store. But I would like to have several ahead so I will continue to have sock on hand.

These are BOM's from Willowberry Designs. I have finished Jan & Feb, and now need to get going on March. I have not put any fabric along the outside , because I didn't have it until last night. I picked some up at Wal-Mart in Ft.Wayne for $2/yd.




The next thing I am working on is my new "Denim" project. Here is a glimpse of what I am doing. I went to Goodwill and bought some old overalls and started taking the seams out. Unfortunately as you can see in the second picture the seam ripper and I got into a fight and it won!
I felt I needed to go to Urgent Care, however I was in pain and have never cut myself that bad. Then my husband looked at it and said it really wasn't that serious. He also reminded me that I could not go to Urgent Care at 9pm, I would have to go to our local hospital (which I hate). So I took a pain pill from my stash and whined for about an hour and now I am okay.
This will slow down the progress of this project, but I am determined to get something complete to put up on the page by this weekend. I also have company coming Saturday so who knows if this will truly happen.
