the things I have sewn - *Very* image heavy - and an obligatory doggie picture

So I finally have pics of the girls' dresses and the diaper bag that I finished this morning.

You are too much...why Fran, that diaper bag is to die for. It's simply marvelous! I love all the colors! And you did a kick ass job on those dresses! Those aren't hips on little O'Bryen, are they?

Thank you! I know she's growing up so fast.

Oh my gosh - I love that diaper bag. You could start a little business selling those, it's so much better than the ugly black ones you get at the hospital.

The dresses are beautiful, as are your girls. :)

I was just going to tell her the same thing. I love that diaper bag. I want one and I don't even have kids!

Seriously, Fran, you could have a little side business there. I'd be willing to pay $20-40 range. How much could you profit for selling them at that price? (I say this because nowadays, sewing supplies costs just as much as buying one).

P.S. I would consider buying one for my sister/brother who just had kids. :D

Yeah it was probably about $40 to make. The outside fabric is drapery weight to give it some stability and the inside is plain cotton. Plus it's huge, like seriously. But in order to find one that matched my personality, I had to spend $100+ or make my own. And $40 I can handle much easier (over a course of 2 months) than $100+ at one pop. I think since it's so big, I'll make a smaller one for later when we don't need to schlep around as much stuff.

Great job...
I love sewing too, just no time.

Yeah it's a good thing I'm not in school after all this semester, because it would all still be in a pile uncut.

And god is sewing addicting!!!!

I can't believe you made all those yourself, they're so professional looking! I can hardly sew on a button. Well done you!

Thank you!
