Hi! My name is Mary Beth and I love to sew. Handbags are my specialty, but I’m always experimenting!

Custom order for a slightly larger Stadium Hopper Zip Clutch. Final dimensions are about 7.5” wide x 5.5” tall, with a zipper opening just over 6.5”… love it!

Couldn’t let my baby niece start daycare without a cute tote for mom and dad to haul all of her stuff in!! 🥰 Super simple but highly functional!

My old prototype clear vinyl See Salt Tote finally bit the bullet after much heavy use and abuse. 🤣 Decided it was time to finally make myself a new clear tote.

Ran out of clear vinyl so had to improvise on the side gusset - went with a bi-color gray and blue waterproof combo!

What do you think??

F***y packs are fun to make! Another in chic leather with a pretty but understated floral print. 🌸

I haven’t sewn much lately, but got myself out of a dry spell and dusted off the cobwebs with this leather f***y pack!

Haven’t been sewing a lot lately (kids, work, etc. etc.), but a friend asked for a custom project and got me back at it!! 🥰

My son’s teacher bought a pack of flannel fat quarters (18”x21” fabric rectangles) and asked if I could turn them into wash cloths for the classroom. Done and love them!!

A new pair of Stadium Hopper Zip Clutches in genuine leather hot off the press [sewing machine]!! Heading to Arts Council of Moore County Monday!

I am still using the blue leather one as my every day errand clutch since coming up with this design a few weeks ago. It may not be big, but it holds everything I need for a quick outing - car key, credit cards, cash, lotion, chapstick, and my phone. I even attached a crossbody strap to the rectangle rings on the back just today for a movie with the fam at Sunrise Theater!!

Come grab yours while it’s in stock, or reach out for your own custom fabric combo!!

And I just can’t help myself - what do you think they’re talking about?!? 🐸 🐸

Brand new Stadium Hopper Zip Clutch for sale!

Genuine leather exterior and super versatile carry options. You can use the leather 0.5” wrist strap, the integrated hand strap, or even hook a crossbody strap to the rectangle rings on the back (I’ve done all 3 with my blue prototype)!

Engineered to be 4.5” x 6.5”, which is the standard maximum size for a non-clear bag allowed in most stadiums/arenas/concert venues nowadays.

And this is my own, totally original design, super proud!

Happy Valentine’s Day, all! 💕

One Sea Salt Tote complete, and a relatively full shelf at Twigg & Co.! Yay!! 💕

I decided to reuse the hardware and try again… I like this result much better for its intended purpose!!

I’m calling it the Stadium Hopper Zip Clutch! This time I went with an interior zipper pocket for my cards/cash instead of card slots, and re-engineered the hand strap to be a little more functional. Bonus: you can still hook a strap to it to make it a shoulder or crossbody pouch if you want to!!

And don’t worry, I didn’t totally scrap the first attempt. It turned into a slightly smaller but still adorable Sakura Coin Pouch. Genuine leather with a few card slots. Will be available at Twigg & Co. whenever I get my b***y over there!

So here’s the thing with experimenting, whether it’s with design, materials, or whatever - things don’t always turn out exactly how you think they will.

This little pouch turned out super cute, but a litttttttle smaller than I wanted.

Now do I scrap it and reuse the hardware? Or sell it? 🤔

Anybody ever start one project and then get sidetracked with another? I’m going to a hockey game next week I need a small clutch no bigger than 6.5” x 4.5”. So I decided to make my own! 💪

01/30/2024

Feeling inspired by these pretty neutrals! Veg-tanned leather and natural cotton canvas. Loving this combo!!

What’s on your craft table today??!

Last installment for this week (probably 🤣)!

Move over f***y pack, the circle bag has arrived!! My husband’s first response was, ”Well, I don’t know how useful a circle bag will be, but it looks nice.” 🤷‍♀️

Well let me tell you, I’ve been using the first prototype I made for the last week or so, and I LOVE IT! It is deceptively roomy, looks cute as a crossbody or shoulder bag, and even has a quick grab handle for convenience (and style!). I made a few tweaks from the prototype, and this one is ready for YOU!

Will be available tomorrow at Twigg & Co.!!

Next up is a Fifth Avenue F***y Pack in the same awesome leather! This time with a hot pink interior with a pop of blue for the interior zipper pocket.
