Project #1- Mesh tote bags
The mesh tote bags have been a fairly popular item for my shop and I was literally sold out of them up until yesterday! I have restocked and few and there are always more to come.
Don't forget that these, as well as any other item in my shop, are available for custom orders. If there is a fabric that you like, or would like to come up with something unique, feel free to convo me on my Etsy shop and we will get started. I did a few more licensed prints on these this time around. There have been a lot more sports team fabrics coming out and these tote bags make an excellent sporting event carry-all. Also, with the main body being made of the pet screen mesh, they would make an Excellent beach bag! Summer is right around the corner!
Project #2- Made in the USA diaper bags
Several months ago, The Boyfriend suggested that I might try to find some fabric that was made in the USA to use for some of my diaper bags. At the time, I thought it was a great idea, but had no idea where I would find made in the USA fabric. Within a couple weeks of that conversation, JoAnn fabrics released a line of Made in the USA fabrics! Go figure!! Yesterday, I listed the first two bags made from fabric completely made in the USA!
I particularly like these fabrics. They have some really cute designs and they are a really nice quality! I can't wait to get started on some more!
Project #3-Small mesh tote bags
A few months back, I messed around a bit with my tote bag pattern to create a mini version of my standard tote bag for my nieces. They LOVE theirs and carry them all over the place, filled with their treasures. Their Mom has been known to borrow them as well and use it as a handy and durable purse.
Project #4-Photo shoot
A really great friend at work has been generously offering for her and her kids to help model my bags for me. She was one of the very first owners of a Sew it Seams bag and has been super supportive of my shop from day one. I dragged The Boyfriend along (hello carpool lane) and we headed out to her home for a photo shoot of my finished bags. They were absolutely wonderful models! Don't you think? We had such a nice shoot! The Boyfriend is an excellent assistant as well and helped me with getting bags ready and helping to keep the kids distracted from the camera. I spent the evening editing photos Wednesday night and getting the listings up just in time. WHEW!
Project #5- Anniversary party
All of this would not have been as much of a time crunch, except that my sister and I have been working hard making decorations and such for our Grandparent's 55th Wedding anniversary party this Saturday. Thus, an exponentially larger project load. It will all be worth it Saturday though, as the decorations have turned out fabulously and I can't wait to show them off to you next week!
In the meantime, I hope you all enjoy the new listings and please stop by the lovely Carolyn's blog. She writes so wonderfully of her grand adventures with her adorable family! Don't forget to enter the giveaway contest while you are there and be entered to win your choice of this diaper bag or tote bag from Sew it Seams by Janelle. Good luck and happy shopping!
You've been one busy lady!! LOVE those mesh tote bags....may have to get one for the beach this summer. ;)
ReplyDeleteThanks Dawn! I love the mesh tote bags myself! My extra large one I made to carry my work stuff is just fantastic and I can't wait to roll out some of those to the shop as well. I think they will be really great for families with multiple kids and DO make AMAZING beach bags. I also plan to get some up with more beachy and summery prints real soon as well. Its all so much fun to me! :)
DeleteSuch cute bags! :) The mesh tote bags look AWESOME!!!!
