Funky Red and Green Tye Dye DSLR Camera Tote $ 23.00

$23.00

Do you want it? Only have 2 of the 5 left in stock! Had this fabric in my inventory for a year and no one really took notice until I made a few camera strap sleeves and a dslr tote. I think that the pattern shows up the best on the large size tote and that is what is grabbing peoples attention. Also had this one in a purple and lime pattern that sold out very quickly. Think I will need to go fabric shopping for some additional tye dye batik cottons. It's a funky retro kind of thing and I love it!  Measures: 7W 6H 4D

Disclaimer: these totes are meant to be a convenient way to store and "tote" you dslr within another larger bag. Put it in your backpack, suitcase or large outer tote or bag. No need to take your heavy padded bag when you don't really need it ALL the time.

A Passion for Dolls

On a fun note for today,  I had some free time this afternoon and was in need of a break from my sewing machine and working on items for my shop. Out from one of the doll bins I found sad little unfinished dolly, who was in dire need of my attention!  She had been given to me 5 years ago from my sister Barbara who had received her from our little sister as a gift. Little sister Annie made her but didn't know how to finish dolly. She had no hair nor eyes or mouth, and her dress was unfinished and her stuffing was falling out!

Dolly was passed on to me and she ended up in a bin with other dolly things long forgotten until today. Oh what fun I had to enjoy my ALMOST forgotten passion for dolls. See my project completed. What shall we name her? She has the hint of bewildered look and a tiny frown. Wonder if she's thinking "Too Much Hair!"

VINTAGE Button Collections

O MY GOODNESS! I love vintage buttons and I happened upon this yummy collections on Etsy. I bought them of course. How could I resist! Just look at them all pink and red and bit of pizazz in the mix.

I remember my grandmother Irene's button collection. She kept them in an old tin box. In the depression clothing was never thrown out. It was re purposed into other things like dust clothes, pillows or rags for cleaning. When I would go visit my Grandmother in Minnesota during summer school break, she would have simple chores for me to do. One of them was to cut the old buttons off of my grandpas shirts and other clothing that had worn out and was destined for the rag box.

I loved her wonderful button collection. She would use the buttons if needed, but mostly she kept them in the tin. It was a wonderful treasure and I loved the feel of the buttons as my fingers cupped them and let them fall into the box like so many coins and treasures. I asked about the button tin after my grandmother passed away in 1969. No one knew of it. I suppose it was given away or perhaps donated to a charity. Several years ago I started my own button collection. It's my weird and quirky wonder that pleases me to no end.

Had another request for one  of my special little dslr totes. This little convenience is perfect for placing inside your ginormous handbag so to have your camera at hand without having to carry a camera bag in addition to your handbag. The style is like my lens pouches only bigger! Shown here is my Cannon Rebel with the 18-55 lens attached. Love this one so much that I made a matching camera strap slip cover to match. Want one like this or in your choice of fabric? Contact me in my Etsy shop for details.

Busy Busy Week

Have been going nutty this past week sewing up a storm. I really love to make my dslr camera strap sleeves. I know, you're thinking yes, but if you don't sell any what is the point of making them? Well sales have been picking up due to the holidays. Yay, holidays!

I'm really enjoying making the patchwork styles and I don't know why I didn't think of making the lens pockets this way before?

I tried several different ways to make them and none pleased me as much as this new style with the elastic. Granted that this way probably won't appeal to the guy market but most of my customers are you lovely lady photographers. For the guys, I have basic black will and the elastic pocket on the black twill is just basic. Period.

 Do you like them as much as I do? This style is priced at $19 USD
