craftgrrl | There has to be other Project Runway junkies here, right?

Pink flowers and corduroy. Sweet.

As the indelible Tim Gunn once said to Angela "queen of fleurchons" Keslar...

Oh Tim, but I loved Holly Hobbie as a kid and thinking of her gives me the warm and fuzzies. Make no mistake though, I'm talkin' old school HH, not the current, slighty tarty rendering. Why must everything change so?

Whatever old lady...on with the bags!

(I always get tripped up with making a purse that has a zipper and single strap. I have no problem with a zipper and 2 straps, but 1? Arrggggh. I have to do too much thinking. The lining, the strap, the zipper, all laid right and closing properly? It can get maddening. But I'm pleased with how that mini purse came out. So adorable.

Hungry, hungry hippos. And they're happy too.

I've been really into making pencilcases lately, here's 3:

(Kitties inside too, aww, I love 'em.)

Autumn striped.

Circles!

Lavender, mmmm, pretty.

Coolio Japanese import fabric.

I got the hippo fabric, the japanese tree Etsuko fabric from the always awesome, reprodepot, and the kitty fabric came from the very cool fabrictales..
Others came from joanns, the physical store, not the website and also j.caroline creative.

Happy fabric shopping and happy sewing!

Thanks for looking.
Hope you all are having productive, happy, healthy weekends.
Cheers!
