I made this tote bag yesterday on my day off and I am pleased how it turned out. The bag is mostly cotton…I made the handles out of an old belt, and the bottom of the bag is leather. This is the first time I have sewed with leather fabric. I am used to working with just cotton fabric but lately I have been getting a little bored with it, so I have decided to switch it up a bit. The tote bag from my previous blog entry had denim fabric from a pair of jeans, and now I am working with some leather. It was more challenging to sew but it wasn’t too difficult, it was a little harder to keep the seams straight. I will be practicing sewing with this fabric for now, and soon hopefully I will be selling more leather bags in 3 Little Black Birds!

Hello! My name is Julie, I am very crafty and I love to quilt! I currently live in Denver, Colorado, but I was born and grew up in Virginia. My sewing journey began in 2009 where I started making handbags and I have participated in several craft shows/markets in Virginia and Colorado.
I began quilting in 2020, and since then quilting has been my main focus. I have made several quilts from modern, improve, lap quilts to mini quilts. In 2023 I became a member of the Denver Metro Quilt Guild. Besides sewing, in my spare time I love to weave, take photos, bake, hike, ski, attend craft/art shows, and spend time with my husband and my dog Lilly. My blog mostly focuses on my creations and inspirations, but once and awhile, I will blog about my trips and travel adventures. My goal is to share and inspire everyone who is reading. Enjoy!
