Sparkle Pouches!

I've been taking custom orders for my sparkle pouches for a while now. They're so much fun to make, that I just can't bear to keep them all for myself. I have made bout two-hundred pouches in the past year or two. It's amazing to know that people keep coming back to order more! 

The pouches above were made for a college friend, Allie. Allie has ordered a ton of pouches from me and I just love working with her on these! She uses them for everything and has even commissioned a pouch sized specifically for her allergy meds! I love it! 

I recently purchased a teflon foot for my Juki. I can't believe I have sewn vinyl for so long without it - but I tend to not buy things that aren't necessary. I finally broke down and bought the foot - it was only a couple dollars on ebay, and it works great. Now I can topstitch vinyl at full speed!

If you're ever interested in ordering a sparkle pouch from me, just drop me a line and we'll work out the details ($12 - $17 for box pouches, $8 for flat). I don't like the business end of things, so I don't keep an Etsy store. I tend to do pouches in spurts - when I get an order I'll post the call out on social media in case anyone else wants to order one at the same time. :) Typically I do more around Thanksgiving and Christmas.

All Things Sparkly!

I've been in zip pouch mode here recently! Yes, this is an additional nine box pouches! I've been making some box pouches to put up for sale. I know so many people comment on mine when they see it, so why not? 

It seems to be going well. So far most of them have sold to family and friends. I haven't gotten my etsy shop up and running yet, but that might be happening soon. For now I'm posting these pouches for sale on my instagram / facebook / flickr / blog. If you'd like one just leave me a comment.

These guys in the picture measure 7" x 3" x 3" and they're perfect for makeup, toiletries, or sewing supplies (a standard rotary cutter fits). I'm selling them for $17 / each and that includes shipping (US only please). 

Why the sudden need to sell some stuff? I'm going to QuiltCon!! :) Registration happens soon, so I want to have the cash on hand to go to workshops with my sewing idols! 

I'm enjoying these so much that I had to go get more vinyl. I restocked and now I have mint, teal, purple, silver, blue, and white. They're soo pretty and sparkly!

Today my goal is to finish up a couple pre-orders, then I'll be making up some pretty sparkle pouches -- stay tuned for more!
