Go green for Christmas!

In an effort to help out my mom with her mountains of presents for her 6 grandkids (double since last year), I made these great reusable wrapping bags with draw string closures.  I made them in a variety of sizes and can do the same for you!


I can make 1 large, 1 medium, and 2 small from the same fabric for $10.  Other combos are negotiable.  Save a tree, and your garbage can from overflowing!

More clothing

I've been busy working on several things the last week or so, but most of them are in the middle stages (I've been trying to do cutting one day, embroidery another, etc.) and not ready to be shown.  However, I do have two new items to share!

The first is a pair of basic elastic waist pants.  These can work for a boy or a girl, but I made them for my boy.  He'll be wearing them with his Halloween Costume (Tolee, from Ni Hao, Kai-Lan).  Check them out!


Pardon the Black & White.  The lighting was poor and the picture was so grainy that converting it was the only way of saving it.  But I just love his pose!

And this one I particularly love.  As a matter of fact, I kind of wish I'd made it in my size! LOL  This is a Peasant Blouse with 3/4 length sleeves.  The pattern actually had short sleeves with elastic at the cuff, but I felt that with winter approaching we'd get more use out of 3/4 length.  I think it looks cute.  And now I know that I can adjust the sleeves to any length you desire!  This shirt was done with a knit jersey.  Other options are available, of course.


Don't I have the most adorable models?! 

As always, you can contact me at niksnaks@ymail.com to place an order.

Go Green!

The trend these days is to bring your own reusable bags to the grocery store.  I have heard there are some stores that have completely done away with store bags and require customers to bring their own.  I know that Target and other stores provide a small discount to people who bring their own bags. 

So what are you waiting for?  Can't find the right bags?  Look no further!  I made these bags as gifts for Christmas last year and I can tell you that all the recipients continue to use them and are asking me for more.  They are very durable, large, and the piping helps them to stand on their own so they are easy to load with groceries.  I'm actually sad I gave all of them away.  Every time I make some that I think I'll get to keep, someone else asks for some!



These pictures were actually taken of the bags I gave to a family member last Christmas.  After almost a year of use, they still look great!

I'll be charging $11 for one bag or $38 for a set of 4.  It's also possible to personalize these bags for an extra charge.  Contact me at niksnaks@ymail.com to place your order now!

Child's Kimono

My son and daughter (2 year old twins) love the show Ni Hao Kai-lan, so for Halloween they are going to be Tolee and Kai-lan.  Today I finished making a kimono for the Kai-lan costume.






Now that I've made one (and learned from my mistakes-- namely, fabric choice.) I'm excited to make more.  I see endless possibilities with this shirt!  From dressy to casual to anywhere in between.  I am able to make this shirt in sizes from 0-6 months to a child's size 8.  To order yours, email me at niksnaks@ymail.com.
