my dress lives on!

As Mom will attest to, I only had virtual scraps left over from my dress. I loved the fabric so much, though, that I wanted to make something of it that's not hanging in my closet in a garnment bag. (Who are we kidding, it hasn't been dry cleaned yet, it's actually hanging exactly where I left it when I took it off. But I plan for it to be in a garnment bag!) Behold, a new purse and card pouch!
Also, keeping in lines with the great de-stashing, I made a couple of shopping bags for sale from some material I bought years ago. I must have bought at least 4 metres, because I've already made a dress, thumbless oven mitts, lined numerous purses, now 2 totes, and I still have a metre left. Why did I buy so much? It was probably on sale :)
The totes come with their own little pouch so you can fold them up and stash them in your purse or glove box, or wherever.

I'm also lovin' Etsy mini over on the side bar! --->
It shows my latest items for sale!

I'm back - with a clearance sale!

EDIT! I'm no longer retiring, but the stash busting is ON, and I'll be changing formats once the current stash is gone.

So, here's what's in my Etsy shop for now, I'll be adding lots more in the coming weeks! Ask me for details on any items, or make me an offer if you think things are ridiculously overpriced.
