bag for a cousin, bag for a friend, bag and gifts for the Swiss, a parcel to send

My friend, Kirsten, was trying to help me come up with a name for our little biz, and she was inspired by nursery rhymes (Down the Lane was a serious contender thanks to her), so this post title is dedicated to all you nursery rhymers out there.
First off, bag for a cousin: (This is the cousin that came over and sewed with me the other night...she cut out the fabric for this and I sewed it up!)
And, it's reversible! I think I'm going to make more reversible bags, seems fun.

Then, bag for a friend:
This is for my friend Kristen, who is having a baby girl within a month! Woohoo! One more thing to check off her "to do" list...get diaper bag. She picked out this fabric and I absolutely love it. I already have an order for another bag with this fabric!
diaper clutch. I hope all of you that gave your opinions on the last few diaper clutches approve of this one. Next time I'll make the flap a little bit longer, otherwise I'm quite happy with it.

And here's a little change pad I made for her as well.



And here are a couple of little purses I made for my Swiss friends, Kim and Callie. They are about 7 and 4.


This is a t-shirt for my godson, Luca. He just turned 10. The lovely and talented Kelsey (Jaimee's sister) drew this for us and I managed to figure out how to get it ironed on to a shirt. I had this idea about 4 months ago and only finished this project YESTERDAY! Yikes.


I hope to mail the Swiss package today or tomorrow...there's a bag in there too, for my friend Sandrine, as well as a "toque" for her husband Luigi...what's more Canadian than a toque!

My sewing machine was on the dining room table for about a week and I finally put it away. I think it's time to do some dishes and vacuum...:)

I LOVE the bag Corinna!! I made sure to show it off to every family member I came into contact with this weekend including my Grandmas. And my mom (also a sewer) was would like your secret to "thin seams" on the receiving blanket. Apparently she feels her seams are too bulky? Anyhow Congrats on another successful project! You are truly talented.
