New bag!

Here's another framed clutch I created for AVC that is currently housed at Niche.

The patterned fabric contains all of my favorite colors and even has a bit of sparkle! I got the fabric from Gorgeous Fabrics; it sold out in about 2 weeks! I bought two yards and have already cut out the pieces from it for my next project. I found out about the new fabric store on Pattern Review. Pattern Review is a great resource for anything having to do with sewing. I found Gorgeous Fabrics there (the shop was reviewed by a member of PR) and I found great reviews on a "how to sew knits" book I bought for $2.50 online (that I have yet to crack).

Great tutorial!

I found a really inspiring tutorial posted today at Craft Magazine's blog. Craft Chi breaks down printing fabrics using a Bubble Jet printer. She has some really pretty prints that she designed using Photoshop and her own drawings. I am in awe of how well they turned out and am inspired to give it a go! Photoshop -> printer is much more my speed than screen printing...
