BLACK HOUSE PROJECT

I fell in love with this tote the first time I saw it and was regretting delaying my purchase when it sold out! I got lucky and finally got one for myself!

Each item is numbered and of the highest quality & workmanship. It is literally perfect--as a fellow sewer I can't help but look at every stitch, every seam and each one is beautifully perfect!

A bee in my bonnet!

Longing for Spring, I saw this bee fabric and had to have some. I fell in love with the sweet bees and the happy yellow background. After sharing a picture of it on Facebook, I had some interest in a custom blanket. Originally we had talked about making a tag blanket but settled on adding a satin trim around the edge instead.


Since this was for a little boy, I chose black and did an informal pleat all around the blanket. The black is great because it is likely little hands will be rubbing the edge--the black will show less dirt and it brings out the black in the fabric. For extra cuddles, it is backed with an ivory swirl minkee.
