Aberdeen Railway Commuter Carryall

The Aberdeen Railway fabric is a custom print that was a lot of fun to design.  The floral pattern was drawn with a drawing pad on the computer, and it was easy to customize the shapes to exactly what I wanted.  It was also a luxury to hand select the colors rather than settling with what's available in the market.  With the coating on this fabric, this bag has superb durability. Spill on it or get it wet, and all you have to do is wipe it clean. 

Margaux Goes on Spring Vacation-2

Despite the snow in Portland yesterday, all the cherry trees 
are starting to bloom.  I'm often inspired by colors found in 
nature, and I like the soft and gentleness of petal pink cherry 
blossoms.

Wavy Hair

I'm liking this hairstyle today--the chunky bangs and wavy hair.  

TGIF-4

iPad Envelope Giveaway

The iPad Envelope is an idea that I've had for awhile, and it's satisfying to see dreams become a reality.  This envelope is sentimental in that I created the patterns and sewed the sample prototypes. I usually have the help of professional pattern makers, but I thought it would be fun to learn the process from conception to product.  I had originally designed the envelope to be in Lap Mode seen here:

Then one night (possibly in slight delirium from sewing too late), I realized that this iPad Envelope can also stand up in Movie/Facetime Mode.  I think this feature is pretty cool--versatile and functional, not to mention it's also in the top selling fabric that I managed to get the last roll of.
