Thweatt Things:
School is back in session and I’ve been sewing! There is a new category under crafts labeled Knot Bags and I’ve got several to choose from.

These bags are so handy for a variety of uses: use them as a cute purse or project bags (knitting or embroidery), library books, produce from the market. Anything you need to carry in style! There are 3 sizes and I will be adding more as I finish them up. Also, I’ve got bowl and plate cozies back in stock along with my newest addition, ice cream cozies. These cute little cozies will keep your pint of ice cream cold and your hands comfortable. And don’t forget to check out my gardening aprons. Great gift for a gardening friend or for yourself. These have multi-uses as well. The huge pockets can carry whatever you need as you move around. Thanks for checking out my goods. I so look forward to sewing more as Fall approaches.
