Have I mentioned how much I love Etsuko Fuyura fabric? Yes, a million times! I'll make it one million and one...I love Etsuko Fuyura fabric! You might remember that I used it to make a a purse for my daughter a few months ago. This past weekend, a dear friend sent me a little box of goodies, which included an Echino Ni-Co 2011 by Etsuko Furuya Natural fat quarter bundle! Heaven! I chose the first FQ to make myself a pair of slippers. I think they are beyond awesome!
I used Simplicity 2278 for my slippers. I stayed true to the pattern, however I chose not to use Jiffy Grip for the bottoms. Instead, I used a suede-like fabric. My feet will be toasty and look good during my hospital stay next week! Who said you can't look hip and trendy when you are getting a new knee? (Would have been funnier if I was getting a new hip instead of a knee!) Thanks again to my friend for my treasure box. You know who you are and just how great you are!
I completed a few more bags and added them to my Etsy Shop. The image transfers turned out great. The first bag is coin purse size. Doesn't Nixon look cool? The other two are flat bottom cosmetic bags. Who doesn't love bras and shoes?
Thanks for the great feedback about my iPad Curse! Writing up a tutorial for one is on my list of things to get done before next week. So, stay tuned!
Tootles for now!

Hello Angela! I've been missing all the wonderful creations on your blog (I don't know why blogger doesn't recognise your blog on my dashboard) I love your little purses - the image choices and transfers are supreme. Love your ipad bag too.
Best of luck for your knee op - and you'll be the star of the show in those fabby slippers - what great fabric it is.

You are right! The fabrics are lovely!
Oh, those slippers are AMAZING. You are stylin', lady. I haven't been able to stop by in so long and I miss your cheerful posts and the eye candy you provide. I'm sorry about your need for surgery. I hope that it goes perfectly and that you're rehabbing before you know it!
Angela, your slippers and bags are so cute! Love the fabrics!
You will definitely look hip and cool wearing those fun slippers.
Wishing you all the best with your knee replacement surgery! And praying you have a speedy recovery.
