Here is a sampling of some of the many other items that I create:

Yes, I make ALL of this stuff. I carefully pick out fabrics for linings so that the insides are just as pretty as the outsides. I break lots of needles sewing through the heavy webbing. And sometimes I even burn myself with the iron. I put a lot of miles on my sewing machines. And I make sure that each and every item I make is going to last.

If you see something you like send me an email and if I don't already have one, I can probably make one for you.

2021 Laguna Art-A-Fair booth


Tote Bags

These tote bags are made from fabric that is printed for me with my original artwork. If you look at the above photo of my booth, you can see both the original artwork of the poppies and the tote bag to match. The bags are fully lined with heavyweight drapery fabric so they are very sturdy. And if you don't mind the two pockets on the outside, these bags are reversible!

Crossbody Bags

With the popularity of my tote bags, people kept asking me for a smaller bag design. This is what I came up with. It's a small crossbody bag with three compartments and a zippered closure. The center pocket is sized to fit a large cell phone. Like the tote bags, the fabric is printed with my artwork.

Mini Bags

I have tons of fabric. That also means I have lots of scraps. I have to find something to do with them all because I can't bear to throw away even the tiniest pieces. So, I came up with several different bag designs to use them up. More new designs are coming soon!

Makeup Bags

These bags are lined with a water resistant fabric so they are easy to clean. They can be used as a clutch bag or as a makeup bag.

Upholstery Bags

One of my long time customers gifted me with four gigantic bags full of upholstery fabric samples. What was I going to do with all this fabric? Make bags of course!

Zipper Tripper Bags

These bags have an interesting feature - they unzip all the way to become completely flat. This makes them very easy to pack.

Mirrored Compacts

These are made either from the small pieces of my handmade fabrics or collaged music fabrics.

Ornaments

The ball ornaments are made from tiny leftover pieces of my handmade fabrics. This fabric takes many hours to create so I don't want to waste any of it. The spiral ornaments are a fun way for me to use up long skinny pieces of fabrics.

Cat Bags

These are really cute, but they are difficult to make. So, I don't make many of them. If you have one, consider yourself one of the lucky few. They are a hard framed bag in the shape of a cat face.

Scarves & Hearts

These are handmade fabric that I create from yarn, ribbon, fabric tidbits, lace, and a lot of thread. (Sorry, trade secret. You'll have to watch me demonstrate at a show to see how it's done.)

Small framed art

This is more of my handmade fabric. This time, I cut it into various shapes and frame it.

Greeting Cards

I have two different types of greeting cards. First are the handmade cards. These are made using my handmade fabric cut into shapes. Second are the printed cards. These are reproductions of my original fiber art designs. All of the cards are blank inside so you can write whatever you want.

Small Originals

These are matted and ready to frame original works of fiber art. These come in three sizes: 8x10. 11x14, and 16x20. These are standard sizes so they are easy to frame.
