Last Day to Enter Zipper Bag Giveaway!

*GIVEAWAY IS NOW CLOSED*

I'm beginning to think that this cute little zipper bag is a lame giveaway. Is it? Should I have offered a better prize? Maybe this photo doesn't do it justice. Perhaps no one is actually reading this little 'ol blog of mine. Maybe all of the above.

Where are you beloved bloggers? I was hoping for more excitement surrounding my first ever giveaway. And I was looking forward to reading more fabulous childhood birthday party stories! I had such high hopes as I recalled memories of my 7th birthday party at CHUCK-E-CHEESE. That Elvis-impersonating -guitar-playing cat looked SO real!

Much love to all THREE of you who entered. Who, oh who will it be...

Working on Perfecting the Zipper Pouch

One of my current projects is the zipper pouch or wristlet. I have been experimenting with different sewing techniques, trying to get nice neat seams. The challenge has been tucking in both ends of the zipper, without overlapping or getting bunchy corners. Practice makes perfect! I have made 5 zipper pouches so far, and have plans for many more. These little bags are perfect for your cell phone, money/credit cards, lip gloss or small items that usually get lost in your big purse. Or if you want to go out without a huge bag. You can even clip your keys onto the lobster clasp. Handy, right? Once I get a few more made, I plan on selling these. If anyone is interested just let me know. I'd be happy to take special requests.
