Sample Sale - Owl & the Pussycat Small Grocery Bag (Sold)

Today this bag is available as a sample.  Sold - Thanks!  It is made from a cotton/linen fabric by designer Heather Ross for Kokka. 

This is the small size from the Grocery Bag pattern.  It's would be great for a project bag, lunch sack, storage bag, a child size grocery bag, etc. 

I've been having some trouble with PayPal shipping labels lately, so we are going to do the samples a little differently and see how it goes. 

The sample will be described and shown here, but instead or ordering here, you'll go to the etsy listing. The samples are intended for blog readers, so the etsy listing will show only the sample sale graphic and the url of this post.

Etsy's shipping features also include international shipping labels for First Class packages, so the samples can once again be shipped outside the US.

Zip Pouches with Button Embellishment

I'm in the mood for zippers (and buttons)...

The front piece on these is an embellishment.  Sometimes I see cute shoes with this type of faux strap with a button.  The button might look a little lost if it was just floating there on the front, so the strap piece makes a nice frame for the button.  

I don't have a pattern for these.  If you are interested in sewing these you can leave a comment letting me know, then sign up for the email list so you'll get a note if/when there is a pattern available. The email list sign up box is at the top of the left column.

Dress Sneak Peek + Button Brooch

Here's a peek at the dress I'm almost finished making.  All that's left the hem and sewing on the pockets. 

The button at the neckline is one of these button tops with a recessed flat back.  I glued a 0.75" pin back on and now it's a button brooch.  I like it very much. 

Sample Sale - Denim Grocery Bags (Sold)

Today there are two large Grocery Bags available as samples. Sold - Thanks!

These are made from a tightly woven denim fabric on the exterior and a fun lobster print for the lining.  I have my own bag with lobster lining and it almost always gets a good laugh or funny comment at the store.
