Oilcloth Lunch Bag Tutorial / How-To

I found a tutorial QUICKLY for an oilcloth lunch bag! I have some oilcloth that I've kept for years, not knowing what to use it for. I'm definitely going to use it for this lunch bag, and I'm sure I'll have enough of it to make a matching makeup bag, too! I'll probably make some for my Etsy.

I'm moving to a new apartment!

So I won't be doing any crafting for the next week or so.
I've got another custom bag to make before I can make more stuff for my Etsy, so there won't be so many new items in the next couple weeks.
:(

sewing peaches 'n cream

Another new owl! This, of course, is my favorite because it's the newest, and I did a new little thing to make it look like he has feathers. I'm becoming more passionate about embroidery. If you want to see some super-cool embroidery, (based here in Texas!) check out:

The "Day of the Dead" pattern is one of my favorites.

I can't wait to get some of those patterns and try them out myself!

my collection...

i'm building up a collection of owls! they're all for sale on my etsy: http://www.carlygarza.etsy.com/ , except for the little owl lamp that snuck into the family photo. i think i'm progressing in quality with each new owl i make and each new embroidery technique i learn. i'm becoming way more dedicated to my shop, and should be posting new items several times a week.
