Operation-- Decorate Army Sack!

Trying to find the "zapper" for the front of my army sack took a little time, and plenty of trial-and-error. But after working with it, I think we found a winner!! Here's some of the concotions we came up with before we hit on just the right one....

These just weren't cutting the mustard! Then, I found (with the help of my wonderful comrades) this group... it's a keeper with me!

P.S. I had to add a picture of the "vintage" packages some of the patches came in. It may be hard to believe, but some of them really were in the original packaging!

marie-madeline's trunk show!!

We've had a really. busy. week.  But just so you know the latest exciting news from marie-madeline studio, here it is.... our trunk show debut!  A special "thank you!" to Anita from Sew to Speak in Columbus, Ohio, for these great pictures.

Try This... a new way to use the brooke shoulder bag and shopper pattern!

Hello Everyone!!

A week or so ago we got a custom order for a brooke shopper with long handles, like the ones featured on our brooke shoulder bag. Well... here it is!

What do you think? We were really happy with the way it turned out!

This is another great way to use the brooke shoulder bag and shopper pattern (especially if you need a bigger bag, but prefer long handles!) The only thing you need to change is....

~Use the long handles from the brooke shoulder bag

~Add interfacing to both handles

~Place the handles 2 1/4" from the center of the front/back

Viola!

We hope you all have a wonderful day~ the Long Ladies (& family!)
