Lots of New Items Coming

Posted in Sewing: Finished Bags & Pouches

Hope everyone has had a great summer! I’ve been sewing lots of custom orders for customers, trying out new design ideas, painting new paintings, and getting ready to list lots of new items over the next several weeks.

This week I am sewing more of the popular stethoscope bags:

Stethoscope bags

These bags are large enough to fit your stethoscope, and anything else you need. They are vinyl lined, so they are easy to wipe clean. Extra padding keeps your stethoscope protected. They can also be used as a cosmetic bag for your favorite health professional.

Lots of new iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 plus sized bags are almost finished and ready to be listed this week as well! These bags will fit your phone, even with a Otterbox case. Some of the newest iPhone 6 Plus Clutches:

Stay tuned for lots more items, and lots more blogging as well!

Sewing Custom Orders

Posted in Peeking Behind the Easel, Sewing: Finished Bags & Pouches, and Uncategorized

I do a lot of custom orders for my sewing shop.  It is a lot of fun to see what a customer chooses for colors or design.

I have tweaked my designs at times because of what a customer would like.  One of my customers wanted hidden straps in her tote. After fooling with the design and changes in making the tote, I ended up loving the look of the hidden straps. It is now my current design with totes & diaper bags. The straps are still sewn in from the bottom seam, all the way up the bag, but now you can’t see it.

Quite often I don’t have the right colors of zippers or fabric on hand. That’s no problem. It is really easy to order what ever is needed.  Today a box with zippers and thread for several customers arrived.

It is always exciting to open up the box and see all the goodies! Time to get started 🙂

Two styles of smartphone wristlets in progress.  I layer black lace over black satin over a black cotton foundation. The three layers create a sturdy but beautiful purse.  These wristlets will be finished and listed this week.

This beautiful faux suede camel phone wristlet is also ready to be listed.
