All That Jazz / Monday Messenger bag!

My "All That Jazz" for Timeless Treasures is a bag already.

Poorhouse Quilt Design put "All That Jazz" Group onto her Monday Messenger Bag.
This is Kris Poor's pattern picture. These prints are looks familiar, right. She used my "Spring Fever" group for Blank Quilting (Discontinued) onto her bag two years ago.
It was introduced on Quick Quilts.
Now, it is with "Music" This is excellent for school or lessons.
You can choose many designs and colors for main fabrics from "All That Jazz"
Geo Master /Multi and Kiss me/Black will be cool for the adults/for men.

Two Besides Half Aprons by Stacy.

StacySew did test sewing for my Besides Half and Full, both Aprons.
She followed my instructions and made all of the projects that were included. She was a great helper for fixing mistakes and finding unclear directions.

We are good friends since she bought my Reversible Apron Pattern and reviewed it on patternReview.com in 2007.

We have a great relationship even though we have never met.
Thank you for everything Stacy!

When she tested the sewing of my Half Apron, she used her leftover Morning Call Group Fabrics.

She made my Reversible Skirt Apron when Morning Call Group was released.
Please check other Apron as well.

Patchwork idea of Besides Half apron!
I love it.

We checked the instructions, typing and spelling over and over.
We did all of the work needed, but I'd found little mistakes still leftover. I couldn't believe it!
My final copy of the sewing pattern was the toughest decision to make ever.

I love the process of creations.
Create designs for fabrics > Send them to printer > Check print sample on fabrics > Fixing Colors and combination > Proof >
Then I can get my fabrics a couple of months later.

I start to sew bags, aprons or something that are images in my head (ideas).
I sketch my ideas sometimes. I start making without sketches sometimes too.
I'm always excited when I find the style that I want or if there are better ideas than my first ideas.

Making sewing pattern's instructions is very intense work!
I prefer creating artwork or projects than making sewing patterns.

I do all work in sewing patterns - Illustrations, making products and taking photos of them, layout pages and all graphics work without anyone's help. So I get overwhelmed in the process of making my sewing patterns mostly.

"I won't do it again!" I say so when I'm making sewing instructions.

Whenever I get an idea of new style of project.

I start to think,

I have to make instructions.
It is very similar feeling of giving birth for baby.

I hope you can enjoy my babies!
