12hrs of Bag Making

I had such a great day..12 hours in my sweatshop making totes and messenger bags...shoulder strap bags, small little girl totes, cocktail totes, regular totes..all felt applique...all birdie bird! Getting ready for crafty bastards and squid fire in Philadelphia! much more to follow this week! Here is a sneak preview of what I made today!

New Pleated Bags!

The shop is being stocked with new pleated bags! Getting ready for the Arts on Foot happening on Sept. 10-12 on 7th. and F Streets in DC! I'm excited about another venture in DC. So its time to stock pile and fill up! Finding more colors of canvas has been so exciting! New Burgundy is a delightful fall color with a hint of purple. All machine washable with interior pockets (a larger pocket with Velcro closure) and a smaller pocket convenient for keys and cell phone. Look for more narrative pillows that are on my agenda next!

Sneak Peek

So I've been working my butt off getting ready for the spring season. I am so happy to get my sewing machine back from repairs and a much needed tune up! My back up Kenmore helped greatly over the past two weeks but now I can put it away for a rest.
I'm not going to post any new items in my shop, giving the Richmond people first dibs. Here are sneak peak into what will be new from Jennyjen this spring.

how I spent my snow day!

I needed a good day to work out a new bag design. the pattern is by amy karol...the water tower drawing is mine... drawn with my machine. Fabrics are what I have left over from the holiday season products. I'm liking the pattern and the water tower....any comments would be very much appreciated....to sell or not to sell?
