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!

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.

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. 🙂

Step by step I make progress and am working with new designs and new bag layouts for fun!

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.

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!

Love your Frozen quilts! Can I ask where you got the character fabric from?

I got the Frozen panels from JoAnn Fabrics. They are panels to make into books, but I decided a quilt would be better. I think you can also order them online from fabric.com

  Happy Crafting! 🙂

I would like to purchase the first pastel bag that you have on your page and I love the new style of quspuks that you made is that for sale? How much is the wall hanging with the Elan or Skandic snow machine?
Fabulous work

Unfortunately that one is sold. I am in the process of finishing twenty of those bags. I did get a full time job and am taking classes this spring and have three step children running around the house. So I will work as quickly as possible 🙂 The wall hanging was part of a quilt that a guild I was in we made. But I was hoping to work on some wall hangings of the Alaskan themed to sell. I will keep you posted. I will post the qaspeqs that I have for sale along with the make up bags. Thank you! 🙂
