This week we finished some sweatshirts for a local high school craft fair fundraiser.  It is for the music department, so if you are in town visit the Southridge High School on November 5 between 9 am-4pm.



We also have been making a couple of aprons. They were great fun to make.  Pattern came from an Instructables tutorial by compwalla. Great instructions and safe advice.



Sue liked her aprons so much that she asked us to stitch out some more, so we are working on those.  We are also trying to find our way through the ins and outs of starting a small business. We have faith that one day we will have it all worked out. (The rules will change then, but it won't be our fault. I don't think.)

Treasure Bags

We energetically finishing the final touches on our current projects for the Farmer's market in Provo Utah on August 23.  Our families would choose a different word than energetically, obsessive, or manically is a bit closer to the truth.  We remind them that this is the beginning and we are working and figuring out things that we don't have to do again.  There is a feeling of hope, but not complete trust that this is true.  We have pictures of the new products that we are taking with us.  We would love to know what you think. These are our treasure bags. These fun bags are snap bags.  The top open and close with a fun snapping noise and are strong enough to keep the treasures inside. They come in multiple cotton fabrics and are the perfect size for party favors, holding snacks for car trips or outings, containing charge cords or accessories for electronic devices.  There are also great for holding odds and ends in backpacks, suitcases, or just about anywhere. We really lov

Canvas Bag Especially for Nikki

We've had our first sale and first custom order. Yay! Thanks Nikki for taking a chance on us. We made her a great blue and yellow canvas bag. This bag is 14x17x6 made of canvas and cotton. We love all the pockets - five pockets roomy enough for glasses, phones, check books or whatever; two pen pockets, a huge pocket with Velcro closure that will hold file folders, notebooks or loose papers; a hidden zipper pocket and four pockets on the outside of the bag. There is a spot for everything!
 We stayed very busy through the pandemic with family projects. Life seemed to slow down and speed up at the same time.  We are the proud new owners of 16 needle embroidery machines and are having a blast creating designs and stitching them out.  We have been asked by several people to do some small jobs.  We really enjoy the work and working together, so we have decided to officially create ElleCie Designs LLC.  We stitched out a lot of lace for a prom dress. It took two hours to stitch out one.  We needed six. We have made patches for the Walla Walla Sheriff's  Office. They had a community event, so we stitched out super hero patches for them.  We also stitched out pink badges to support cancer awareness. We stitched out aprons for Sue's Turkey Drive. The picture was designed by Sue's Grand-daughter. We have made patches for the high school girls tennis team. We have made numerous bags, which we have been told have too many pockets, but we respectfully disagree. Can you h
