My New Adventure!!!

Some time ago, I decided it would be a great idea for me to dust off my sewing machine and try out a new hobby. I bought some scrap fabric and attempted to make a pillow. Which proved to be a little harder than I thought it would, but a pillow was made (with no pattern) and it was cute and I had a great time making it.

Hmmm....So I made another one, and another and two sets and a few others. All without a pattern, all crazy colors and pieced together material and it was awesome! My husband, who loves to encourage these kinds of activities, suggested that I should try and sell them. WHAT??? That seems a little crazy husband!!! But, he was very convincing and I gave it serious thought.

In the mean time, I set out to make some other creations. One of which was a small zipper bag, which I felt was very ambitious as I had NEVER sewn a zipper before. After about 3 failed attempts, I had a perfect little zipper pouch!! WOW!! That was really fun. Then I started experimenting with various fabrics and styles and thought more about what my husband had said. How awesome would it be to turn a hobby into a job?? I love sewing, and I love fabrics, I could totally do that!!! And so...

I DID!!!

I am happy to introduce to you SDG!!! Fun, cute and super functional zipper bags, small clutches and purses. (I also am working on a few other items, but you will have to keep coming back to find out about those!!) I am so thrilled and so excited to be able to do something so creative and fun!!!
