Crayon Bag description:
This is a cute little crayon carrier. GREAT way to keep your little one busy while also keeping their crayons and paper all together and off the floor! It has 1 slot down the middle for a pencil holder, and slots for 11 crayons/mini colored pencils. It has an open pocket behind crayon holder for stickers, coloring pages, pictures, etc...also has a zipper pocket on the front for extra "storage"--like snacks and small toys. It is especially great for on the go! It holds a 8x5 notepad (which holds in place, and can be easily changed out.) It has stiffener between the layers so the bag will hold its shape and not fold up as you carry it. It closes with a hook and loop flap to keep everything together! It's small enough to fit into your purse/diaper bag, so you can keep it with you wherever you go. (For ideas or more examples, see "SOLD" listings to see our previous crayon bags we used to sell.)


Included with this pattern:

-glossary of terms/definitions
-photographs illustrate each step
-PDF lets you zoom in to see each step up close, and print and re-print the pattern pieces whenever you need them!

First off thank you Lori for the cute name idea. (check out her etsy HERE. cute aprons!) and Thanks Amy for the luck and good wishes......check out her etsy HERE.
Well, we were racking our brains one night...ALLLL NIGHT.... and asked a few people, and nothing. BUT like 3 days after we finally came up with something we loved...it sounds a little "hippie" but it isn't really intended that way. We just though it sounded cute....besides who doesn't like peace and love?!? Anyways, so sorry Lori, but by the time we got your suggestion, we already "registered" the name we have. BUT thank you so much for the cute idea, we really did have a hard time finding a cute catchy name, and I think Shabby Sacks is sooo cute, and very appropriate!

Well, so our new name is......................................................


peace.love.n.polkadots

The URL is peacelovenpolkadots.etsy.com and we are just working on getting inventory up for the shop! Stay tuned and we will let you know how it goes and when it opens!!!!!

Other than that, we have been busy-busy sewing our fingers off and working out the kinks for the new shop! It is so much fun to work on something a little different and -new! It is just like taking a break, but not!

Well, there will be a GIVE A WAY for our Quiet Book and it is going to be hosted on a newer really neat looking blog. BASICALLY all you have to do is "follow" her blog...if you need directions how to follow, ask her and she would be happy to help! It is a cute little blog with good ideas for teaching your kids! and you just have to click the button to follow the blog. CAN IT GET ANY SIMPLER THAN THAT! NOPE, I think not! So I encourage everyone to get over there.................................... I will post the link to the blog when she officially starts the give a way and we have more details, so please check back!

Thanks to you all for your support and suggestions! Have a wonderful night! Stay tuned....

Opening shop

Good Morning EVERYONE!!! Us Knot Sew Shabby girls are thinking about opening another etsy shop....(since Knot Sew Shabby pretty much turned into a baby/kids type shop.) AND because it will not be just sewing stuff, like Knot Sew Sabby! If anyone has any SUGGESTIONS for a NAME, let us know. We are pretty stumped.(oh and we may like your name, but not choose it if someone else on etsy has it.)

Here is a sneak peek of what we think we will be selling and making:

Since we have had a lot of people ask if we could do "Crayon Bags" but for adults, here is what we are thinking...........

a list taker holder type thing/daily planner

and we miss doing purses and LOVE doing appliques, so here are a few of those. (these are Becky's designs.) I didn't get any pics of mine or Leann's because we don't have them finished/close to finished.

Happy Monday! Hope your week starts off AWESOME!
