sparkle and bloom



until yesterday, chickadee central was all quiet on the sewing front. the iron was cold and bernie was bored beyond belief. but the break was purely physical, as for days this chickadee has had in mind certain swatches of fabric and has been plotting the pinning and pining for a few precious moments to put them together.



the combination of gold trimmed floral fabric and golden flecked fiber makes this 12" x 14" bag both bold and beautiful. for this one, the more traditional tote shape is turned on its side and asymmetrically assembled. an inlaid zipper pocket on the outside is accompanied by two inner slip pockets. interfaced and stitched together solidly, she's ready to catch the eye of the spring sun and give back some shimmer and glimmer.



we all shine on...
