Finally got around to sewing all the bag shells I had cut and pressed a week or two ago. Definitely learning how to do things more efficiently every day I work on them!
Pockets were done too and all that's left is to sew the linings then put each bag together. Oh, and I need to order labels and more purse frames. If anyone knows where I can order woven satin labels for less than 1000 minimum, please let me know!
Today was a cut-and-pin day. This typically means cutting the stabilzer and silks into my purse pattern. Before that can be done, however, I wash and air dry each scarf and then steam to remove any wrinkles. Above is one of the silk scarves in a gathered style. Can't wait to sew it together!
While some of the scarves dried I got started prepping buttons to create more magnets (and push-pins as requested by my friend Liza!). Check out the first set I made a few months ago here.
On a side note - I'm SUCH a proud auntie of an adorable pitbull, Pepper, that I had to post this! My sister took this picture of me and Pepper frolicking in Malibu after my mom's 50th b-day breakfast atGladstones (highly recommend their "Hangtown Fry" plate!!!) 
Needed some new scarves for the bags I'm working on so I headed to my hometown, Pasadena, for the Rose Bowl Flea Market.
I could literally spend all day there but I was on a mission: dig through this for scarves that are destined to be one-of-kind hand bags!
With the help of my friend Tina, I managed to get 23 great prints for thematic collections. Oh yeah that's right, I've got collections coming!
