Double Wine Tote Pattern Release!

I am so excited to release my next Pattern into my shop: Funky Joy.

The double wine tote is the perfect way to carry your wine safely anywhere you want to go. Whether you are going to a party or an evening with close friends and family, you are sure to look stylish with this chic wine tote!

It would make a great hostess gift or wedding present!

**This pattern also comes with a license to sell what you make!**

It has been tested by several sewing bloggers, and I got some great feed back!

1. Greta (personal blog)
2. Tanya at Sew Many Dreams
3. Caroline at Artfully Caroline
4. Terri at A Creative Princess
5. Susan at Fruitful Words
6. Jenn at A Jennuine Life

Here is what they have to say about it: 

 I made the wine tote and love it! The directions were awesome and easy to follow. (Terri)

I have never sewed with felt before and I was surprised at how easy it was to use and how smart the final product looks.  As far as the pattern goes, I was thrilled with all the photos. They added clarity to the written directions which is something needed for us visual learners. (Susan)

The pattern instructions were clear and simple.  I don't drink wine, so that's balsamic vinegar and rice wine vinegar on board! For other non-drinkers, you could also market this as for balsamic-and-olive-oil hostess gifts, etc. (Tanya)

To celebrate I am giving away 1 pattern to a lucky F&J follower!   Just leave a comment on this post and you are entered!

**Giveaway ends at midnight tonight and I will email the winner. **

Funky Joy is going to a Craft Sale!

My Shop: Funky Joy and I are going to a Craft Fair on Saturday 9/4! My FIRST craft fair... I am a little nervous about it! I hope that I sell some of my items!

I hope that people like my...

Reusable Snack Bags

... Reusable Trash Bags...

... Make-up Rolls...

... and Fancy Towels!

If you really want an item, you should maybe buy it today... I can not guarantee that it will be here after the Craft sale!  However, I will be putting everything I do not sell back in the shop after the sale (Which could be everything!) So, If you are a risk taker, you can wait! : )

Car Trash Bags
These have always been my best seller! I can hardly keep them in the shop!

Snack Bags and First Aid Kits!!

I have NEW and IMPROVED snack bags in my shop: Funky Joy!

they now have zippers and are lined with PUL (polyurethane laminated) fabric.

Polyurethane laminate was first developed for hospital equipment, where reusable waterproof fabrics were needed. It is safe to use with food!

I picked some fun fabric for these new snack bags too!!

I am also selling my travel first aid kits!
