To Market, To Market with a Brand New Bag!

I love making aprons, but I have been trying to do some different kinds of sewing lately..I love this pattern for a Market Bag..It’s nice and big enough to go to the weekend Farmer’s Market and nice to be able to bring along your own reusable shopping bag!  I have also used mine on car trips to put all those yummy snacks in that we must have close by!  I can think of a hundred ways to use this versatile bag. It is also reversible! The pattern is designed by Keyka Lou.

Here are some pictures of a couple that I have made, one has the shorter handles, and the other I ‘tweaked’ and made the handles into straps for over the shoulder, its really a personal preference, I guess. 

or shoulder straps

Here is the great part, I am going to be custom crafting these, personalized orders.  I am going to post pictures of some of the coordinating fabrics that I have in my stash and let YOU pick what you want..These would be nice for a gift too, or sometimes you just need to have 2 of them..the finished size is approximately 14 inches deep and approximately 20 inches wide, a very nice size..  Like I said, these are going to be customized, so it’s up to you!

Pricing will be $22.95 per bag, or two for $35, plus $4.90 priority shipping.  I use high quality quilting fabric and each seam is double stitched for secure carrying.  We don’t want the bag falling apart while carrying heavy fruits and vegetables do we?!?!

Anyway, here are some fabric choices that are available..

Each market bag is custom made and will take a few days to complete the order.

These are just a few of the fabric combinations that I have, if I have any interest in Fall, Halloween, Thanksgiving or Christmas or Hanukkah bags I will be happy to find some awesome fabrics for those occasions!  Thanks for taking a look.

 

PS  I have priced all the hostess aprons for clearance in my ETSY shop..They are priced now at $12.95 plus $4.90 priority shipping..This is an awesome deal!

Updating My Blog!

I hadn’t realized it has been since November when I last updated my design blog..once I got home from my stay in the hospital, I pretty much ‘lost’ my blogging voice.  I hope I get it back, I love to blog and my blog friends!

I just finished this apron, who wouldn’t love the flower sugar fabric and love the style..more of this style will be coming your way..

 

This sweetheart will be for sale in my ETSY shop later today..or, if you MUST have it, let me know!  Think I will name her ‘Sassy’!

I think I am going to make the next one out of this beautiful fabric, I love how feminine it is!  and who doesn’t love black and white!

And how about this fabric, called Kitty Cocktails…stay tuned..

One more..

Whatever your day holds, make it a good one!

New Fabrics!

Here are a few new fabrics that recently arrived at the Dog House for aprons..most are one yard cuts which are great for half hostess style aprons, I have a few that are full yard cuts for full size aprons…would love to whip an apron up for gift giving, just let me know!

I also have Coffee Cozies for those Starbuck type cups and am in the process of making cotton coasters and will post those on my ETSY shop at Designs by DogmomDiva so be sure to stop by and check it out for a quick and easy gift..new items added daily!

I’ve Been A Busy Bee!

First, I wanted to give you all the link to my ETSY shop, Designs by DogmomDiva.  I have been asked for it a couple of times and wanted to get it right out there.  It’s TIME to shop for the holidays…I was wondering if there would be any interest in an apron for Hanukkah?  I saw some beautiful fabric for a full sized or half hostess apron..just a thought and thinking ‘out loud’.  Let me know if you or someone might love one as a gift and I can get the fabric pronto!  And remember, a matching coffee cozy will be included with each order!

Here is my sweet friend Lauralee, I made this apron for her, she said she loved it and it matched her kitchen perfectly, so that made me feel happy!

 

Here is a fall apron that I thought had beautiful colors..unfortunately, it has been spoken for, but I have more of this delicious fabric!  Let me know!

And I can’t forget my fun owl themed full apron..I am really happy with this cheerful design!  It is for sale for $18.25 either here or in my shop at Designs by DogmomDiva.  I have a 20% off SALE going on now until November 30, 2011.

I am happy to design a fabric combo for you, give me some ideas!  The holidays are fast approaching and I will be getting busy with orders so let me know what you are needing as soon as possible!  Hugs and keep on ‘aproning’!
