designing sewing patterns.. and not being able to stop!

This is relatively new to me but really becoming a new passion of mine: creating sewing patterns for people just as crazy about sewing bags and purses as I am! ;-)
I already have two patterns for sale in my charmed Liebling Etsy shop and I'm currently working on four more... yes, at the same time, I started making patterns a few weeks ago and now I can't stop anymore! And so right now I have three rough drafts for wallets and one for a handbag lying on my table...

Yeah, there's a huge mess on my cutting table right now..
What comes in handy now is my tendency to be very accurate and well organized in my work (even though the picture above might tell you a different story ;-)):
Whenever I create a new item and I'm finally sewing it on my machine I try to take a picture of every step. This is not the most exciting thing to do and often gives me a good deal of frustration since I'm someone who prefers things to run smoothly when I'm working... if you have to pick up your camera after every single step to take a picture it get's rather time consuming. But it pays off: I have a whole bunch of older pics on my computer which are just waiting to be edited and used as sample pictures in the instructions of my patterns.

Two of the new patterns I'm currently working on are taken from items, I already sell in my shop:
charmed Liebling wallets
Two bifold wallets, with enough room for 12 credit cards and of course cash and your checkbook, plus a zip pocket on the back for your change.
charmed Liebling handbags
One of the first handbag designs I came up with when I started my label. I love the trapezoidal shape and the fact that this bag offers more room for your things than you can imagine!
It's really amazing to see how many clicks my sewing patterns get on Etsy. I feel like there's a huge revival of sewing and handcrafting in general going on right now which I think is really awesome! So go get your sewing machine, knitting things, handicraft paper or whatever you are into and get cracking!

    Welcome to my blog! I am an accountant who once started out her "career" in the US by designing bag and wallet sewing  patterns! My patterns are available on Etsy and occasionally I will share some of my sewing projects that I work on in my spare free time on my website.  Happy sewing :)
