Working on new tote bags and phone bags!

A weekend is never long enough when I have so many ideas!  I am currently working on tote bags, approx. 10 inch wide, 10 inch tall, and 5 inch deep, with 5 inner pockets and long enough handles to carry on a shoulder, and cross body phone bags with a zipper pocket.  These take more fabrics so I cannot make a whole bunch at once but if you peeps like them, I'll expand the inventory!  Hopefully I can complete the first batch in a week or two.  The hardest part for me of the entire production and sale is the photo shoot.  I have to wait for a nice sunny afternoon for the optimal lighting🌞, and take decent photos to show what they are.  Oh my favorite part is when a new product turns out beautiful and capable as I designed🥹🤎



After these are done, I'll be working on restocking key chains and small wallets.  I want to make scrunchies too but low on fabrics I have used for scrunchies, so I need to order more suitable fabrics. 

My favorite places to buy fabrics are missmatatabi.com, Japanese fabric store that ships from Japan, and kokkafabrics.com, a Japanese textile company's online store in the US.  Happy sewing!

Crochet girlfriend kitties🌸

Greetings friends!  To sew or to crochet?  Tough choice when I want to do both!  But lately I've been busy comparing yarns to make crochet kitties.  I have some listed on Etsy but would like to find the best yarn for white and black kitties.  I used 100% cotton yarn to make them, and while mustard and gray colors are soft and beautiful, white and black yarns of the exact brand have a tougher texture.   I'm looking for smooth finish with much less gaps.   These are made using the same pattern.  All 4 types of the yarns used are #4 medium weight.  I used 4mn hook for all.  Do you see the difference?   I prefer natural material but acrylic might be the best choice for this project (B).  Chenille (D) is super soft but a little difficult to crochet, because stitches are less visible and yarn brakes when you pull to close.  Maybe chenille should be crocheted with a larger hook, since no problem with th...
