the Eye Candy Showcase for March ’24

So what are we waiting for? Let’s get started!

This yummy Quattro was created by Carol Lawson who
says it’s one of her all-time favorite designs! I love her
knack for fabric combination! Great job Carol!

And Virginia Barbaro created two of our bags, the first of which was an Elsie K Baglet (pictured above), and she used leather for the exterior and added a twist lock for additional security.

And after her Elsie K Baglet (above) worked out so well in leather, Virginia decided to try her hand with our Katalina design, also in leather, but said she had a really difficult time turning her her bag RSO. I actually had a similar problem using vinyl in an earlier design and that when I discovered that not ALL leathers & vinyls are suitable for use in bag patterns. Nevertheless… her bag turned out absolutely gorgeous, right? 🙂

This is Pat Evans‘ 1st attempt at our Double Take design.
She really liked how it turned out and the overall concept was perfect,
but she wished it was just a tad bigger!

And Veronica Frolich is clearly a lover of “all thing cats”,
and these fabrics sure look great on our Cosmo Convertible design!

And I couldn’t help but include all FOUR of the pictures that
Elaine Comer sent me of her Elsie K Baglet!

because look how totally incredible her bag turned out! Elaine said she struggled just a bit with the interior bias binding, but you sure can’t tell it by these photos… right! It’s just gorgeous! Nevertheless, I always recommend checking out our “Bias Tape Video series“

And remember Pat Evans, and her desire to create a larger-sized Double Take?
Here’s the result of her effort to do so, and while I rarely recommend that my customers attempt to change the dimensions of our designs, I have to say that it turned out beautifully for Pat!

and finally… here’s Rachel Anaya‘s very 1st Walkabout Wallet! I love the bold fabric she chose for her exterior, and also for the amazing coordinating fabric she chose for the interior!

And now, it’s YOUR turn!
