Happy 2010 to all of my wonderful blogger friends and customers!! I can't believe that Liberty Original has taken off so quickly. I have been busy busy busy trying to keep up with orders and not taking the time to blog. I supposed that is the way it should be! I am also busy coming up with new ideas and products for the spring. There are so many beautiful fabrics out there to make beautiful projects!


Here is a purse made from Art Gallery Fabric's Purple Moorish Blooms in their Alahambra II line. I LOVE the colors in this fabric! Also, a huge congratulations to all of the cozy winners... I am just now able to start on those. Thank you for being so patient with me. I am now only accepting 2 orders per week to make sure I can have a quicker turnaround time. :)

Liberty Original Coffee Cozies are now being sold at Seabel's Gourmet Food Shop in Pueblo, Colorado!! How exciting!! Here are a few custom orders for Mary, co-owner of Seabel's. They have some fabulous things there.... I left with several bags of goodies!

So, once again I am off to create fabulous originals for all of my fabulous customers. You guys rock!!

xxoo

Buttercup Bag

Isn't this bag great? This is Rae Hoekstra's Buttercup bag. It's not only beautiful, the pattern is FREE! (Come on people, you know how I love free things!) After exploring Rae's blog, I decided to purchase this particular pattern (with a larger buttercup version as well) which also includes the rights to sell this lovely little creation in my Etsy store.









I must admit that I was so excited to sew this bag that I neglected part of the instructions.... thus, my seam ripper and I became new best friends when I attached the upper outer panel to the main outer panel. So, stick with the pictures and the details, and you will be just fine.












This bag is specially made for my sister (although thoughts of keeping it for myself keep meandering their way into my head). She has waited very patiently for her own "Liberty Original" for months. She has been one of my biggest supporters and encouragers for the past.... forever really. So, I suppose I will part with this gem since she has been known to shove gum up my nose when she doesn't get what she wants.





I will be making this bag in a variety of fabrics and posting them in my shop SOON!
