I seem to have many things in progress at the moment, but these are just a few. I get these little creative "bugs" once in a while and immediately have to jot down the ideas that end up rushing through my brain! And then I come obsessed with them until I can at least start the actual process of designing and sewing it. Funny though. This one, with the poodle, for some reason has been taking me forever to complete. I think mainly because I ended up redesigning part of it right in the middle of sewing the design on. It's going to be a backpack (or "poodle pack" as my niece calls it). I started making these about two years ago completely out of vinyl and hand stitch pretty much the whole bag. The first one I made was "puppy pack" and was made for my then two year old son for pre-school. I wanted him to have something cute, but, at the time, it seemed there was either "super cutsie" or things way too "big kid" for him. SO, the idea was born for his "puppy pack". It was a huge hit with the two year old crowd, mainly my son, and lasted pretty nicely through the whole school year. This past year I made him a "Dino Pack". With a little re-designging and the entire thing hand stitched it has held up amazingly well through the whole pre-school year of tosses and throws and stuffings in and out of his cubby at school. I have some pics of those bags somewhere. I'll have to find them and post them maybe.
This other project is a blanket. I LOVE making these! This is the first I have made like this one. It's an original design of mine that I also plan to make more of. There are a few mommies to be with sweet little babies on the way, so I plan to be busy making blankets and onesies for the next couple weeks. Happy Sewing!
