"gi-gi" apron



this apron is fun in patchwork, or even just a single print. best of all, the shape is actually flattering, which is more than can be expected of most cooking cover-ups.


one size fits most.

machine wash gentle.

hang to dry; tumble dry at end to remove wrinkles.

ribbit hat


this is the latest kid creation( and yes, that's my kid modeling it =] ). i was inspired by a fleece hat i spotted at a children's store - but i think this knitted version is much more fun....

size: toddler.

hand wash, dry flat.

PERFECT POTHOLDERS


these potholders are a fun addition to any kitchen, and make wonderful gifts. perfect for the person who "has everything", because who couldn't use a few new potholders (and ditch a few old, ugly, burnt, sticky ones. don't they all eventually get like that, or is it just me?)


these potholders are about 9" square and are lined inside with two layers of cotton batting and one layer of special heat-resistant batting. guaranteed not to burn your hands (tested by me every time i cook)! patchwork is on both sides.


potholder on left: aqua prints

potholder on right: orange prints

KATE BAG



this is probably my all-time favorite bag. easy to make, and just large enough for everything i need to carry (which means it's too small for all that extra stuff that really only weighs you down). bonus: it's reversible.
note: the bag in the top picture has rounded corners. this is how all the bags will be constructed from now on.

bag size: 22"h x 16" w (at bottom; gets narrower towards top) x 0" deep - bag is flat; no gussett. this bag has 2 inner pockets about 6" h x 7" w.

bag in tree: asian garden print

bag in hands: pink paris print

SUZ BAG



this bag has sweet bows on each side that you can tie tightly for a tailored look ( as in picture) or tie loosely for a more boxy look.

there are 4 large inner pockets and 4 small inner pockets (these are good for lipstick or pens, etc.).

bag size: 10" h (19" h with handles) x 13" w x 4 1/2" d.

spot cleaning is best.

bag on chair: pink camo print

bag hanging on knob: pink prints

DARIA BAG



this roomy bag has 6 inner pockets and a button closure.

20" h x 4" d x 12" w

spot-cleaning is best.

BABY BIBS




i started making these bibs for my son about a year ago. since then, i have made many for gifts and for sale.
bib size is about 10" w x 15" h.
they have fit my son from about 8 months up to now, at 18 months.
button closure in back.
they wash up great - machine wash warm, tumble dry.
