Outer Limits Comic Book Store

First of all I'm so proud of my son Anthony owner of Outer Limits Comic Book Store in Franklin, Tn. He's either worked there or owned the place for 15 years. He loves his job and that's what it's all about. He's moving into a bigger store and he's letting me sell some of my creations.
The first bag is a simple batman clutch.

A bigger bag with some of the super women. Lots of pockets inside.

I do love these Spock and Captain Kirk. He has already sold a set of these. The pattern is from Michelle Coffee on etsy.

Harley Quinn is adorable. This pattern is also from Michelle Coffee. Had to make this for my grandkids.

This bag is a Marvel Comics bag. Also sold one of these.

Layla's 2 New Skirts

Layla is so different from Ruby when it comes to clothes. She likes skirts not dresses. I really love this pattern and plan on making it again.  It is Simplicity 4264.  I got her this fabric at Joann's because she's kind of picky about her fabric. She loves the color blue and owls.

I couldn't believe she picked out this sheet with the border. It turned out beautiful.

Her kitty loved the skirt.

Ruby's 3 New Outfits

Ruby picked out 3 fabrics and patterns from my stash. Yesterday I made all 3. The first fabric I think came from Sally. The pattern is McCall's 5798.  It turned out beautiful but it took a long time to make. All those ruffles.

Then I made an easy one from Simplicity 2437.  I had bought this fabric to make something for myself, but she had always admired it.

This one I didn't use a pattern.  I had planned on making a purse, but it looks so cute on her.

2 New Burlap Bags

Made a couple more bags to sell. I'm really loving the burlap. This one is my favorite. I'm trying to use the whole image on the bag so sometimes they are pretty bag.

This one is even bigger.  I can see taking it to the flea market and filling it with lots of goodies.

Please check them out on etsy.

Burlap Maket Bag

Finished another burlap bag.  This one is huge at 18 inches wide.  Lots of room on the inside. It could be used as a market bag or diaper bag. The straps are 35 inches long.  Now for sale on Etsy.

The inside has 6 huge pockets for all the goodies.

Burlap Coffee Bags

I found some great coffee bags online at Amazon. This was an awesome bag and I was making it to sell. When my daughter saw it she just had to have it. So this is for you Lori. Hope you enjoy it.

I have about 5 cut out and ready to sew and add to etsy. So check them out later on this week.

Sewing for People Ruby and Layla Love

My sweet grandkids come home after school and insisted I need to make purses for their teachers. (After all they are the 2 best teachers in the world according to them). They sat down and designed a bag and told me what the teachers liked.  Ruby's teacher loves birds and ruffles so this looked like it could be for her. Ruby's version had lots of ruffles on the straps.

This pattern is Butterick 4822.

Layla's teacher needed something simple for on the go. Layla's version had lots of lace at the bottom and a green button. This pattern is Noodlehead Envelope Clutch.

Ruby's friend Gracie wanted a book bag that had a puppy dog face. My own design.

They all had great reviews and everyone was happy.

Open House Success

Had an amazing time at the Open House Saturday. Sold lots of stuff. Ruby did well and sold lots of bottle cap magnets and necklaces. I plan on being there again on November 30th and December 7th. Hope to see my friends and family there.

Christmas Open House

These are a few of the things I've made to sell at an upcoming event this Saturday, November 16th.  I'm so excited about it and hope it goes well. The event is an Open House at Old Stone Rabbit in Spring Hill, TN. She has also consigned by bags.  She furnished the seed and flour bags and I made the bags.  If you are in the area please come by.

Nightmare Before Christmas

Meet Sally and Jack Skellington.  Outfits are so expensive so Mamoe made a Sally dress and a skeleton outfit.  Their Mom is responsible for makeup and hair. They do look wonderful. Happy Halloween.

Rhiannon's Dress

I had to show off this adorable, precious little Rhiannon.  I made her dress from New Look 6688.  Her Mom and Grandma did a fabulous job picking out the fabric and ribbons and all I had to do was sew. She had lots of pictures made and is truly a beautiful little child.

 

Busy Making School Clothes

Ruby said this is the best outfit I've ever made for her.  It is made from flannel and I thought it would be too hot to wear it now, but she didn't think so. Hopefully she will wear a little shirt underneath.  The top is from Simplicity 1674.  It's so easy I made 3 of them. Two for Ruby and one for Layla.  Also made 3 skirts from Simplicity 4439.

Made each child a pair of capri's from Simplicity 4209.  Also very easy to make.

Sally, I think this is from the fabric you sent me. I still have about 2 yards.  Ruby fell in love with it.

First day of school with homemade backpacks

Yes, that is the Three Stooges, that's what Layla wanted.  I've had this fabric for years and added some chalkboard oil cloth. It's a lot thicker than regular oil cloth. A lot harder to sew.

 Ruby wanted her bag to be all chalkboard fabric. The inside is a knit turtleneck.
