I’m making an apron today. I thought it went together very quickly and then realized I hadn’t attached the straps!

Time to make those weekend plans. I'm looking forward to being a vendor at the Harvest Bazaar at the Middleburgh Reformed Church on Saturday from 10:00-4:00. Pottery, jewelry, textile work, photography, kitchenware, cooking mixes and personal care products will be for sale. You can pick up muffins and lunch as well. So, hit the farm stands, come to the bazaar, stop at Under the Nose for some fudge or cookies and make a day of it!

Sea Foam Pieced Tote

It's snowing again in upstate New York. Looking at this bag reminds me of warm sunshine and softly crashing waves. I want to be wherever that's happening!

I created this large tote from strips of several batik fabrics in shades of blue and green. The bottom band, top band, straps and lining are cotton. It's fully lined and has multiple interior slip pockets handy for keeping your small items organized. The straps have an 11" drop making it comfortable...

There is still at least a foot of snow outside my sewing room window but I‘m thinking about tropical breezes, long sunny days and relaxing by the sea.

A different lime green fabric trims and lines the outer pocket. The zipper is bright pink. A layer of foam padding between the fabrics adds s...

Abstract Tote

This falls squarely in the category of I wish I needed it!

This abstract tote was made with a cotton duck fabric with bold dark blue patterns against a cream background. Careful planning before cutting the fabric allowed the patterns to match at the side and bottom seams, all of which are double stitched for durability. The floral cotton lining has multiple...

Unlined totes just added to my shop at www.millionsofstitches.com. They're so handy for a day out shopping, doing errands or as your go-to-work bag. The long straps let you reach in without taking it off your shoulder.

I just came back from picking out new fabrics at Bloom in Margaretville. It's so nice to be able to buy quality fabric locally. Plan to stop by if you haven't already.

I'm packing for SUNY Oneonta's Craft Show tomorrow. I usually take too much for my space, so I'm trying to really think it through. It's hard because I want everyone to see everything!

New project for an old friend. It feels good to be sewing again after a break for my eyes to adjust to having cataracts removed.

These lightweight mesh produce bags are environmentally friendly, strong, washable and a great alternative to using plastic bags. They're made from polyester mesh, a more durable option than tulle. All seams are double stitched for strength. They can be used for produce, tub toys, organizing travel…
