Bees & Birdie Slings

Flora & Fauna

Just in time for the first day of Spring, the Flora & Fauna collection from Patty Young arrived in the shop. Aren’t these prints fresh and happy? Bees and hummingbirds are busily doing their duties to ensure a perfect season, while daisies and dandelions are cheerful reminders that soon beautiful blooms will be all around us. After the winter we’ve had, we could sure use it!

Flora & Fauna Birdie Sling

To get ready for the warm weather, we made a new version of our favorite satchel, the Birdie Sling. I love a complementary color scheme, and this one is no exception. Honey and magenta tones are quite fashionable these days, and it’s fun to see them paired with such whimsical prints. When making this bag, I usually like to put a larger print on the bottom section, but the since the darker honeycomb reads almost as solid, the pretty shapes in the handle stand out even more. So cute!

This is our go-to purse for all the sunny activities that are about to start. Parties, barbecues, and beach days are coming! Buzz, buzz!

Okay, I’m drooling over this fabric line as I have a red & yellow quilt in progress that I finally sketched out.
