Block print passport wallets

Kalamkari Passport Holder

Last month, Etsy sent email stated  there was a bug on Etsy that they belatedly found  and as a result a lot of my listings were not charged for renewal for the past year. So by April 1st, Etsy deactivated all the affected listings, and I did not realize it until a few days ago when I saw my shop were practically empty! This both affected my fabric shop and my handmade shop! Now I have more than 200 listings to relist and as I am on it, I will rework on the SEO, etc before put them back on the listing. I think it's a blessing in disguise also, as I have been wanted to work on the SEO on some of my listings. But yeah it's a lot of work - I will do it one step at a time! 

Anyway, I have been busy making a few passport wallets last week. This time I am using block print fabrics! They have been on my WIP bins for a couple of months and finally I got time (and the mood) to finish them! 

I am super happy with how these kalamkari passport wallet turned out. I have made only the rustic indigo color in the past and as I got order for the same, I might as well finish the rest! 

For the kalamkari wallets, I offered 2 closure - zip around or snap button in my ETSY SHOP.

The next are these red and blue-ish grey floral passport holder. I really love these floral fabrics and I love how the wallets turned out. They are so unique and light weight, you can keep upto 4 passports  in it.

And if you love something vibrant and bright, the yellow floral passport wallet is perfect for you. The yellow floral fabric is chanderi cotton fabric and combined it with red tie dye fabric. 

I still have the fabric, maybe I will make something else. Let's see!

All the passport wallets I finished and are already available in ETSY and my WEBSITE. What do you think?

So that was quite productive week for me. Batching work really works for me, especially as I am going through perimenopause stage now with all the weird symptoms and swing of energy level! When the mood is good and everything is prepped, I can complete more work in less time. 

Recently I love watching these small (sewing) business vlog by many young women (college girls) on YouTube, and I marvel at how they organize their work around the school work, online shop and even doing crafts shows! I do learn many things from them and it's lovely to see how enterprising they are! Very inspiring! 

Thank you so much for stopping by today! 

Have a nice day,
