~New Line For Alabaster Rose~

Hi all, and can I just say it's about time Blogger got fixed!!

Anyway, I just wanted to show you what I've been up to. I am adding a new line of products to Alabaster Rose Designs. A line of make-up and coin clutches as well as soon-to-come hand bags. I have been wanting to do this for a long time and thanks to hubby and my new sewing machine, I'm off and running, after studying up on how to sew of course. So this is a whole new learning experience for me and I am loving it!!


{SOLD}
This first design is a cosmetic clutch with a Union Jack design on the front. It is made with vintage fabrics and has a zipper closure. This was my first time I have ever sewn a zipper in my life. 


Credit card holder designed with vintage fabric and lace.
Closed with a vintage glass button.


Small lavender sachet designed with vintage fabric and lace.


Vintage Rose cosmetic clutch.

Well, what do you think?
This is my first time really sewing, so I know I have tons to learn, but I'm pretty proud of myself so far.

I also want to thank my lovely friend Amy from "Mittens"
for featuring me on her blog today! She has an amazing blog and is super talented, thank you so much Amy!!

I'll be back soon with new designs.
My new line will be available in my Etsy shop.

I'm linking up with my sweet friend Jami today over at "Freckled Laundry" for my first "Air your Laundry Friday".
I'm so excited to finally be able to join Jami and the other talented gals!!

Have a great day.
Sincerely,
