I really want to be sewing on this right now. The pattern can be seen here >.  It’s the shirt shown in red. I’m making mine in knit aqua.

But, I’ve been busily updating my Etsy shop…I sell my GoodyBags and pillows and other handcrafted wares, plus some vintage this and thats – I’ve been using Ebay for awhile, but this time I thought I’d put the latest round of vintage goods up on Etsy, see how they do there with set pricing and free shipping, vs. the auction style pricing with shipping extra.  I have so much stuff that really could just go…lots of vintage sewing notions and buttons, patterns and booklets of knitting and crocheting patterns, vintage cookbooks and on and on…one really can’t keep it all, now can she? (well…let’s not answer that, shall we?).  Select photos on Flickr. Here too.

In other news, last week when Jennifer and Adrian arrived I finished the Patchwork Evelyn Market Tote – shown below here are the three Frances Tote Purses and the two Evelyn Market Totes that I’ll be offering at the GoodyBag Party on the 29th, not shown are the assorted matching Sadie Make-Up Bags. This latest Evelyn turned out so nice with it’s patchwork style, I want to offer this style of sewing to my class at the Squam Art Workshops, I think some might really enjoy the mixing and matching, though it takes much longer to create, I think the end product is super.

And…just trying to get caught up from taking time off, the usual lineup; laundry and emails, long walks with Goody, grocery shopping and posting photos, checking in with clients…list making and task doing.
