A Purse and Jewelry – Handmade Gifts 2

27 Comments

Time for Installment Number 2 of “Things I made for Christmas”!!

I’m so glad you all like the Oopsies. I’ll see if I can get a photo of the girls in their outfits to show you soon.

For my Grandma, I decided to make up a Rebecca Bag. I found some great Amy Butler fabric in shades of blue and gray that I just fell in love with.

 

I love her home-decor fabric for these bags – it’s the perfect weight to hold up and give structure to the bag.

 The contrast fabric on the ruffle was a zigzag – the same fabric as the contrast pieces on the corners, but you can’t tell. I think that was still ok though.

I have some fabric left. I’m hoping to get some Finished Rebecca bags in the Etsy shop soon – in addition to the patterns! :)

I also made up some jewelry this year –

This is made from a fun, funky antique gold chain and a leaf accent, with green beads and pearls.

There were matching earrings too that I don’t have a picture of. Oops.

I made lots of rings . . .

They were great as stocking stuffers and little things to finish off gifts.

I also made this fun bead and fabric necklace  and earring set.

The necklace had pearls and black beads, and little circles of gray knit fabric. I love how ruffly it looks.

And earrings to match – which I DO have a picture of. ;)

What do you think? Would you like a tutorial on that last set? Or is it pretty easy to figure out?
I’m also thinking of putting some in my shop.

Coming up later in the week: a super-cute Chandelier pillow and LOTS of headbands . . .
I’m still working on the Blog Makeover. It’s coming along. Soon. ;) . . . 
and the Crush of the Week will be back – but with a twist! Woohoo!

    Bev, you’re amazing! I loved the oopsie outfits yesterday and the jewelry is gorgeous! I’m loving the fabric of the rebecca bag, gorgeous colors! What fun, can I be in your family next year? ;)

    ok, you got me. I saw your purse and just had to have that pattern. And then when I was over buying the pattern, I saw the bicycle necklace. So, suffice to say, you can expect a call from my husband when he gets home from work tonight. It’s all your fault.

Say Cheese! I love using embroidery hoop art to decorate and this one always makes me smile! It's inspired by those cute little retro cameras and I added lots of fun lazy daisy stitches to jazz it up!​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ This embroidery pattern is super beginner friendly so if you're just starting out or wanting to give embroidery a try, this is a great pattern to start with. Find Say Cheese in my pattern shop!​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ Also- embroidery transfers are in the works! Would you like to see more designs available as easy transfers? And in kits??​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ #flamingotoes #embroiderypattern #retrocamera #retrocameraembroidery #lazydaisystitch #hoopart
