Big Big Love Giant Tote Bags from Sew Bee Mine

Been busy making giant tote bags with my own design. It took a few trials and errors to get it just right. These bags are fully lined and have lined pockets and a key tab inside. All created with high quality unique fabrics.

These, and more will be available at A Whole Lotta Lulu Vintage Flea Market on April 30th.

Sew Bee Mine at A Whole Lotta Lulu April 30th 2016

 

I am very excited to be having a Sew Bee Mine booth this year at the  Whole Lotta Lulu Vintage Flea Market. About five months ago, I was just getting started with my idea for Sew Bee Mine and went there specifically to find a vintage mannequin to display my wearable art aprons on, and found one!

A Whole Lotta Lulu is a funky outdoor flea market in Phoenixville. Local vendors selling handmade crafts, vintage items, and junk. Live music, and even something for the kids. It will take place on Saturday April 30th at Bridge and Main Streets in Phoenixville.

Sweet Honey Bun Cloth Doll from Sew Bee Mine

Enjoying experimenting with different ways to create hair and faces.... This is Sweet Honey Bun the Snow Angel. She is 22" and created primarily with a vintage tablecloth. The snowflake is crocheted. Her face and hair are drawn with my sewing machine, hair colored and high heels colored with fabric dyes.

New Angel Doll from Sew Bee Mine

I've got lots of vintage tablecloths left over from our daughter's wedding......and they are perfect for making dolls. Here is the first one, took awhile because I had to make a pattern and figure it all out. More to follow.

Winter for Sew Bee Mine

Happy New Year!

Sew Bee Mine at Phoenixville Farmers Market

I'm so happy that Sew Bee Mine is a smashing success already. I've been out and about three times now with a booth, and there is great interest and sales are plentiful.

This coming Saturday December 19th, at The Phoenixille Farmers Market is the last event before Christmas for Sew Bee Mine. This winter will be spent creating more inventory for the spring.

Sew Bee Mine Booth Number 9 Kimberton Waldorf School Craft Show 2015

The Kimberton Waldorf School Craft Show has been part of my and my children's life since they were toddlers. I've participated in it as a vendor off and on over the years making and selling various things, mostly dolls! and now with Sew Bee Mine. But whether a vendor or not I have never missed actually going to it and finding beautiful handmade gifts from so many talented people.

Last night was the preview and it went really well, saw many existing friends and met some new ones and sales were brisk. 

A comment that keeps coming up about the aprons and potholders is that they are too beautiful to wear or use! Really having to convince people that you've got to look good when you are cooking! And everything can go into the washer and dryer.

I'm off this morning for a full day, and really looking forward to it.
