I’ve finally finshed up a batch of zippy pouches I’ve been working on since January.. if you can call 3 a “batch”! It was just sewing the lining closed and adding the buttons that were holding me up.
They’re done now and in the shop!
I’ve also made some little tea wallets to carry tea bags in your purse. These are so fun and fast to make. My favorite part out of all of this sewing lately has been picking out the buttons. I bought a couple jars of buttons from the antique store and digging through them is mostly rewarding. One of the jars I bought was full of dirty, musty buttons with just a few really neat ones. The other jar has more of the ones I was looking for. My favorite in the top picture is the blue on on the left… it seems to have a little fiber optic strand in it, so it sort of changes depending on the angle you look at it.
I’ve also finished and delivered a new dolly, here’s a sneak peak (and my favorite part):
A vintage pink button… like a little mountain.
See ya soon!

You’re so awesome! I love the stuff you come up with. That nautical looking pouch is so fun!! You got some really cool buttons! I use buttons on the hairclips I make for Emma sometimes and on the ribbon bookmarks I make too!

Tea Wallets? I’ve never heard of them before, but I just instantly fell in love and MUST have one! haha.
While most people may use them to drink hot tea, us southern bells like to have SWEET tea on all occasions. (hello, lipton cold brew!)
Very cute and creative stuff!
