Totally Overdue June 25, 2009
So I’m currently 2 days past my due date and hoping tonight is the night. I have been keeping busy sewing “taggies” and crinkle balls with taggies and burp clothes, and slings… of course I have no baby yet to test any of it, but I’m still playing around with designs and such. Thinking if he’s not here tomorrow, I may try to spit out a few bags. Now that we are moved, settled, and I’m unemployed- I DO have the time, but not the energy. I know once he gets here I may NOT have the time, but we’ll see.
I plan on creating a bag, sling, crinkle ball, taggie, burp cloth, changing pad set. So all my little sewing trials will be gifted away (I need testers!!) until I get it all down pat. Let me know if you’d like to be a tester.

Still sewing… January 9, 2009
I’m still sewing, but if you didn’t know already- I’m pregnant. I’m 16 weeks along this week and weeks 5 through 14 were filled with killer morning sickness that lasted all day. Included with that was a lovely 3 day stomach bug that landed me on an IV for 7 hours, and now a raging head cold. So, pregnancy is fine- it’s me that’s falling apart.
The bags for sale are still available for sale, click the links to the right to see them. I did make a few bags throughout the last few months, but they were ordered and are sold, I will post pics someday. If you are interested in a bag, or would like to order one, please contact me at andrea@originalandrea.com.

Here is a cute little Apple/Picnic themed lunch bag. This one is $25 and comes with a matching ginham (the bottom print) napkin.
Has a cloth tie, and a reinforced bottom. Straps are long enough that you can carry it on your shoulder. Will hold a drink and a plactic lunch container with no problem. See pics below for how much this sturdy little guy can hold.
The bottom measures 5″x6″ and the top opening is about 11″ wide. The bag is about 8″ tall with 20″ straps. Can be carried over the shoulder. Fully lined with double fleece to keep it sturdy.
Add a few napkins, a little ice pack, and a set of silverware and this would make the cutest Christmas gift- perfect for a yankee swap!!
FOR SALE: $25.00
This is the tie closure:
This is how much room is in this little cutie!! All this and there is still plenty of room for a yogurt, string cheese, or container of fruit!
New Bag- Not for sale October 26, 2008
Here is a bag I made as a gift for a friend. Another sling bag with little green elephants.
My poor finger :( October 22, 2008
So for anyone reading that doesn’t know me or know what happened, here it is….
Last week I bought a fancy new rotary cutter and an $8 mat. I was trimming away thinking about how easy it was to use a rotary instead of scissors and
SLICE!
Cut off a bit of my left pointer finger!!!
So as you can imagine, typing, sewing, everything has been hard with a little piece of finger missing. BUT, it is getting better and I did manage to finish the bag I was cutting without bleeding on it too much. So, updates they are a coming… patience people, patience!
My New Label October 13, 2008
Here is my new label!! Came in the mail just Saturday. I love it!! It’s actually white, but I think the table top was reflecting off of it making it look like a funny color.

What is this? October 11, 2008
Really, what is this sewing machine foot for? I want to know!! I think it goes together, as a unit, and hooks to something, maybe the sewing machine? Maybe a missing piece? It’s driving me NUTS!!
