Lauren's new bag!

Lauren has this habit of looking at photos of dresses or purses, then making what she likes from scratch. I often walk into our sewing room to see an open G&L Bible on the desk and the pinafore pictured on the page (with a few personal modifications, usually) fitted over her dressform. She toiled over this thing for an entire day, and the result is worth it! The outer is made of supple pink pleather, and it's lined with pink satin.

Lots and lots of small clutches.

We went a little nuts with this pattern. It's a great way to use the last 1/4 yd of a cut of fabric, and we have quite a pile of "there isn't enough left but it's so darn cute" scraps. The sweet café, black butterfly, and pink polka-dot clutches are for sale in our shop, and the blue one is a birthday gift for one of our sisters.
