Some fun Christmas Handcrafted Items

                                   Hand sewn make up bags for the family. 

                       Handcrafted gingerbread men polymer clay lapel pins.

I'm sure as most of you know Christmas came rather quickly this year.  And for myself it was "handcrafting" city.   From gifts to cookies I felt like a mad woman to finish up everything in a timely manner...which never seems to help.  I always find myself always rushing to finish things up.  So here are a few items that I made for some family members this year.  I will be posting more this week and some handmade gift cards that I designed as well.  But for now this is a good start.  

Until my next blog...

Hand Sewn Make Up Bag

For the last few weeks my current make up bag has been falling to pieces on me.  It's started to shred on the top by the zipper.  So anytime something catches those openings it starts opening it wider.  Ok...it's time for a new make up bag.  I pulled out the sewing machine and cut some crushed velour that I had on hand.  I bought the black and white polka dots fabric a while ago from Joann's.  The flower is from a package of scrap booking stickers that I also bought from Joann's a while ago.  The black leaves are made from felt.  I used some light green yarn to do some light stitching to make them stand out a little more.   

And voila!!  Here's the finished product.  I absolutely love it!  The finished size is 6" h x 5 1/2"w.    If you are interested in owning one for yourself feel free to email me at: ittybitdelights@yahoo.com

Until my next blog...happy sewing.
