Behind the studio
I know many of you are waiting for more iPhone 6 and 6 Plus wristlets. I have a variety that I have finished this week. Here is one in progress: Cute baseballs just in time for spring training.
Some of these are already up and ready for sale in my shop. The rest will be listed over the weekend. Have a great weekend!

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 🙂
Here’s a sneak peek at what is on my sewing table today:
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.
More to come! Have a wonderful day !

Etsy keeps getting better and better for me as a seller and you as a buyer! This week brings an Etsy credit card reader. It is the little thing that plugs into a cell phone to swipe credit cards. Now I can use this in person when my local customers want to buy direct from me! You don’t even have to be an Etsy member to buy from me in person.
For my local customers – you can finally use your credit cards to make a purchase from me, and without having to sign up for Etsy. It will work for both of my shops.
As are far security, Etsy has it covered. Etsy card reader is fully PCI level 1 compliant and meets industry security standards. Encryption occurs at the reader, and we do not store any credit card information on the device – Etsy
My card reader will be arriving shortly and will make the local holidays sales even easier 🙂 I’ll have more iPhone and smartphone wristlets, zipper bags, diaper bags, and artwork for you next week. Have a great weekend all!
