A Stitch of Mine
« Previous EntriesThe Busy Season
Tuesday, October 18th, 2011October is such a busy time for our family, between birthdays, our regular schedule, Halloween, and fall events we have little time for much else. Last week I decided to reduce my load by putting my easy shop on a slight break. I deactivate all of my bags and wraps for a short time. You [...]
Always Cleaning My Reusable Snack Bags
Monday, August 29th, 2011Just a typical day around here. Now that school is back in session my kids are taking lunches and snack to school and utilizing their snack bags. With three kids in school and one in preschool that makes for a lot of bags. Most people don’t even realize how many baggies they are wasting a [...]
Spinning in circles
Tuesday, July 5th, 2011I recently had the opportunity to participate in heartsy.me. I thought it would be fun and that I might sell some bags and get enough money to buy the gorgeous sewing machine I had been dreaming of. I had no idea how my feature would be received and nothing prepared me for what happened. I [...]
PUL vs. Rip Stop Nylon
Monday, May 16th, 2011I have been making my snack bags with PUL fabric liners. I use a food safe PUL that is thought to only release BPA when heated and I cannot think of a time where you would warm up a snack in a microwave to serve out of a snack bag. When I created the baggies [...]
Free Shipping
Wednesday, April 6th, 2011I recently had a request for several colors of snack bags. I was amazed that I had never thought to make plain colors. The bags came out so beautifully that I decided to make the entire rainbow of bags for people to purchase. When I was shopping recently I came across these superhero fabrics. I [...]
Sandwich Wrap
Wednesday, March 2nd, 2011I just listed some sandwich wraps in my etsy shop. These wraps are perfect for any size sandwich. They make a great companion with our gusseted snack bags. If you are still on the fence as to whether to go reusable or not consider the fact that everyday I pack my children’s lunches and snacks [...]
My Crafty Valentines
Monday, February 14th, 2011I generally make the kids some skirts or outfits for holidays. Since they have developed a bigger interest in sewing they now expect to be part of this process.

Tuesday, February 1st, 2011I wanted to create some heart garland to decorate around the house for the month of February. I started with 8 pieces of acrylic felt and some spray on starch. I sprayed the sheet on one side and ironed it in. Then I flipped the sheet over and sprayed the back. I wanted to make [...]
14 Days of Love
Tuesday, February 1st, 2011Today is February 1st. I hung up the heart garland I made, put out the LOVE letters I created years ago and put on the Valentine table cloth. This year I wanted to do something special for the kids. I made papers with their names on them and I plan to attach a new heart [...]

Sewing Therapy
Monday, September 20th, 2010In light of my last post it would seem easy to cut my load by simply cutting out sewing. This wouldn’t work for me. Sewing is my therapy. It is the one thing I can sit down to, plan out a project, complete it and enjoy the results. I have always struggled with being a [...]
