Its been a busy December

Lets just say it was a busy busy December with sewing, sewing and more sewing!

Because homemade gifts are the best it was a busy sewing month. Frozen quilts. Christmas qaspeq vests. And just call me the crazy bag lady it was a busy month of bag making.

I have decided to move forward and start my own sewing business. Coming up with the business name was tough but I nailed it down to Sew Yup’ik.

another frozen quilt
It was a frozen themed Christmas sewing of gifts.
christmas vests
Nothing like matching qaspeq vests to bring on the new year!
cup cozies
With each changing season the cup cozies must change too 🙂
finished order
These were two orders matching qaspeq set for two lucky girls, and bags for a happy customer.
fish bags
I wanted to have fancy fun colors for the new set of fish bags.
frozen quilt
Like I said another Frozen themed Christmas sewing. I have one quilt left to sew!
moose slippers
These were created for a special someone who I hold close to my heart. Yes, one slipper says Dick they are for the great Dick Newton of Takotna.
more progress
Because I work full time and am a full time student along with step mother, and wife its a busy life for me so an assembly line is how I work.
out with cold in with new
My husband suggested I sport a new bag since I am a walking advertisement anyway so I had to upgrade my look. 🙂
progress
Step by step I make progress and am working with new designs and new bag layouts for fun!
wall hanging
This was a wall hanging that I worked out with the help of a few ladies. This was not easy but it turned out awesome because I love bright colors and it had to be an old school skandic or elan snogo 🙂
fancy qaspeq
Im playing with fun designs for new qaspeq looks and this was one of them.
Bags
This was the set I Just finished last night.
New batch bags
Another batch of bags.
sewyupik with antlers
My name business name! I love it and cant wait to sport my clothes with this awesome logo!

Slipper tops
My poor husband has been so patient with me this is one of his slipper tops. I have finally finished the other side and will add the beaver on this evening! I will have an updated set to load hopefully in my next post!

Lets just say its been a busy month. With the new year approaching I am so thankful for my amazing supportive family and my obsessive personality to never sit down and rest and to always keep busy. 

May your new year bring on happiness, good cheer, and all smiles!
