Vibrant Unique Keychain and destash

Hello,

Last week, I sorted out a few craft supplies and found quite a lot of Indian saree ribbons. I loved to buy them for accent in tunics. I got some of them from my SIL. I was thinking of adding a few key chains or key fobs in the shop, as I also got a lot of swivel hooks. I decided to use some of the laces for the keychains and I LOVE them! They turned out so unique and they surely will make great gifts! 

Here are some of them.

I also sort out a few craft supplies like buttons and zippers. I decided to give them away to my fellow crafters. I am so grateful that they are willing to adopt them. 

These buttons I bought when I used to make children's dresses. I no longer need them so it's better if someone else can use them. 

And zippers!! I must admit I got a lot of zippers to last me a lifetime. Before e-commerce started booming in India, it was difficult to get zippers in colours that you liked in my city. The market ( or button shop as we call it here) is a bit far from my home. So I tend to buy more for that "just in case" reason. Last week, I bought a plastic drawer to organize my zippers, I keep what I need and give away whatever is left. 

Now I feel good that I have more space in my sewing room! 

This week, I will make small pouches and maybe more keychains. 

Thank you for stopping by!

Happy Sewing,

Lots of Wallets

Trifold Wallets 

Hello,

I've been quite busy this month and making quite a few wallets. I had some problems with my Jack machine in between and had to use my Singer HD. It takes a little time to sew on a domestic machine again after a long time. I particularly miss the knee lifter. I called up the dealer and he sent the technician after 2 days. It was resolved immediately. Speaking about industrial machines, I am considering getting the compound industrial machine. 

Anyway, from my sewing room, I made quite a few wallets. The first two are these Sheep Wallets! The first one is the Trifold Wallet and the second one is the double zippered wallet from Noodlehead pattern. It was a repeat order from a customer who loves black sheep! I made 2 trifold wallets as the customer wanted the sheep fabric on the exterior. 

Trifold Cardholder Wallet

I have not made this double-zipper wallet for quite some time. As I was preparing to make this sheep wallet, I also cut a few more to make. I hope I will have time to complete them soon. 

This pink sheep fabric is quite cute! I have a Nuno Zipper wallet and a Mini Trifold Wallet made with this fabric. 

Double Zipper Wallet

Next, I made these Small Hanami Pochettes. One is for a repeat customer and the other one I made for a stock. Well, actually the customer was asking for a rounded corner flap but I made a rounded flap! Luckily Hanami pochette is quick and easy to put together, so I quickly made another one! It's a blessing in disguise, now I have one pochette ready to ship in the shop!

I also made another Rosie wallet in this lovely blue floral print for a customer. I have the same print in Green and Pink, and now thinking of making the series. I love using Rosie wallet, as I don't carry many cards or cash nowadays. It can fit nicely into my small purse. The additional keychain to handy when I carry a big tote, I can clip it inside the tote bag.

The last one I sent out last week was this world map print safari passport wallet for a friend. It was a bit delayed in completion because I always forgot to send her the fabric choice. I forget a lot nowadays, so when a friend or acquaintance wants to order a wallet, I always suggest they buy from the WEBSITE. That way I can keep track of what I have to do next and when to send it out. 

Safari Travel Wallet is versatile for solo or a couple travellers. Or even a small family who always travel together. I gifted to my sons when they go to college to keep their passports and other important documents.

So yeah, it was a pretty busy week for me and now I need to take 2 days break from sewing to tidy up my sewing room! It's pretty messy right now! I have a few more wallet orders for next week, so stay tuned!! 

Thank you for stopping by today! 

Have a nice weekend!
