These past couple months I have been busy with making new tote bags and pouches. I have been experimenting with new fabric and patterns, including linen cotton fabric. I have also been making new flannel plaid totes.
I have also been experimenting with making new types of bags, including a handbag to carry yoga mats! It can hold up to two yoga mats, and I have also included pockets to hold keys and shoes.
I also made a new Christmas table runner for our kitchen table, and I had a great time selling my bags at a Christmas Artfest at Thomas Jefferson High School in Denver.
It has been a busy but a fun December with the craft show, friends visiting, and me traveling to Virginia to visit with my family. I will be taking a break from sewing for the rest of the year, and plan to have a relaxing and low key Christmas here in Colorado. I plan to be back at the sewing machine in January!
Happy Holidays Everybody!

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!

That yoga bag! Is there a specific pattern you used for it, or did you create it from your own?

I created my own, I just measured the fabric to fit the yoga mat inside, it wasn’t too difficult. I have also seen other handmade yoga mat bags, so I was inspired 🙂

That’s so cool! I desperately want to make one for myself because I can’t find one that fits a mat, has pockets, and has a crossbody strap.

It’s pretty much the same as making a regular tote bag except it’s a lot longer so there is a little bit more sewing. I used regular cotton fabric and a sturdy interfacing. It’s pretty handy for yoga. 🙂
