Christmas gifts

With Christmas safely a month away, I can finally post photos of the projects I worked on for my family! In addition to diaper covers, I've been loving on making handbags. My niece Dani and sister-in-law Katie were the recipients of handmade bags this holiday. The fabric of this orange plaid bag (Katie's) is a vintage wool that I discovered at our local quilting shop and the one for Dani was a fine-wale corduroy. Sewing with both fabrics wasn't as easy as plain-old quilting cotton, but I did like the results.
