 Dear Friends,
You may be noticing some changes in the faces you see in the shop; Maria has left to return to Japan, and we've brought a few people on board in the past few months. Please welcome Jan, Joanne, and Debra to the staff. They're all doing a great job, and we are sure that you will find them helpful, friendly, and encouraging.
Happy Sewing!
-Marianne

Have you made a Mondo Bag? They're fun, easy, and a great use of those 2 1/2" strips and mini charms you've been collecting! It's the perfect bag for the beach, a weekend away, or even a diaper bag! Enjoy easy construction with perfect points! The bag bottom is about 10" square with 17" tall sides and features an interior pocket and loop for clip-on keychains!
If you've never made one before, purchase the pattern pack, which includes instructions and interfacing to make one bag.
After making your first bag, you can purchase just the interfacing panels, because you already have the instructions! (You will need two panels to make one bag)

From Windham Fabrics, we have Talisman by Katia Hoffman. A talisman is an object held to act as a charm to bring good fortune, something producing apparently magical or miraculous effects. Katia's use of vibrant and rich jewel tones with lots of gold accents not only brings sparkle and magic, but also creates an optical illusion of three-dimensionality.
