Today's My Day!

Being invited to participate in Windham's Back to School Blog Hop is so exciting!  Particularly being among the incredibly talented designers that are also featured.

There will be some great prizes.  Information on how to enter at the end of the post.

Going Steady


I chose "Going Steady" to showcase.  It was a really tough choice as you will see as we blog hop this week and introduce you to some absolutely adorable lines.

I was so excited to cut right into the fabric when it arrived I forgot to take a photo.  But here are some snippets to entice you with the line.








I decided that our Show Off Bag would be the perfect project for the cute panel in Going Steady.  It's a large bag with pockets inside and out.  It was created (and named) to show off those great big prints that you just don't want to cut into.



Hidden front pockets hold your cell phone, keys and items you want easy access to.



Side pockets are large enough for you water bottle!



Inside pockets keep your items organized.



An easy to make optional zippered top keeps all your goodies right where they belong.

Because that was so much fun, I added our I-Cozy Palooza to the projects I thought would be perfect for back to school.  This is a easy to make cover will keep your tablet well protected in addition to providing "On The Go" style.







I-Cozy Palooza has four style options and two sizes to cover a large variety of tablets.

And finally, because I some leftover fabric and couldn't resist, I made a scrappy little wallet.  This little wallet is included in our Baby Sister pattern which would also look great made up in Going Steady!

This cute little wallet is a great way to carry your rewards cards, drivers licence and credit cards.  It has a couple of pockets for folding money and optional zippered pockets for change.





The Total Look!
Stash your computer, tablet, wallet,  cellphone, lunch and all your Back To School necessities in this adorable bunch of yummy! 




Keep on Hopping!

As mentioned, I am among a host of very talented designers.  For more great stuff keep on hopping!
