Two Dashikis and Dutch Wax Batiks were used to create the apron on the left and a tea towel from Ireland was the inspiration for the one on the right.

Carpet bags using vintage needlepoints from Israel. 

The big outer pocket on this carpet bag is Hmong hand embroidery from Cambodia

Winter for Sew Bee Mine

I pretty much spend the winter making things to sell in the spring and summer. Here are some of the latest... on a giant tote bag kick at the moment. I love all these vintage cross stitches and embroidered pieces that are being used to make outside pockets.

Giant Totes have spectacular lined outer pockets, are lined inside and have 3 lined pockets inside, plus a loop to hold keys.

To learn more about them, see more pictures and to purchase click HERE for my store.

Stay tuned for some totes using spectacular vintage needlepoints! Just waiting for a batch to be delivered from Israel.

Also loving making aprons with vintage linen tea towels and cross stitches. Here are a couple of them. Also available in the STORE.
