I’m starting a new series of Featured Artists blog posts to feature special craftsters that I have gotten to know online or in person! First up is Allie of Alliebeans!

I was lucky to meet Allie at Bazaar Bizarre last December and she makes the cutest pouches from special Japanese prints and other delightful fabrics! She is such a sweet person and I’m so happy that we’ve kept in touch after the show!

We swapped a Pea Pod and a cute cell phone pouch!

Allie gave the Pea Pod to her sister for Christmas and even made a cute pea pod bag to go with it! How sweet of her!

I really admire her attention to detail and quality in all her pouches and products and they’re all so well designed! Like me, she has a full time job during the day, but she finds the time to run a very successful Etsy shop that’s fully stocked with lots of Alliebeans goodies! She sews pencil cases, pouches, cosmetics bags, cell phone cozies, wristlettes and more!

Allie is an amazing sewer and a very sweet person and I’m thankful to have gotten to know her through Bazaar Bizarre! You can also follow her on Twitter and she has a cool newsletter too! Do check her out and tell her I said Hi!
