i just made this clutch/wristlet for a friend of my sister-in-law’s.

i’ve been meaning to put some things like this in my shop recently (notice  in the below photo, you can see i’ve already got the custom hang tags, ready to be sewn into bags as i make them. but i have about 200 of them and i’ve had them for over 3 months now…), but i don’t have a really great sewing space set up in my studio, so i’ve been having to just set it up when i need it and then put it away. i think if it was out the entire time, i would have more motivation to use it. i think it has to do with that ‘out of sight, out of mind’ saying…

but maybe i’m just making excuses… what do you think? should i keep making them? i quite like them, and the people who see them seem to LOVE them. actually this custom order is because she saw the one that my sister-in-law had, and the way my sister-in-law got hers was because she came over to our house one time and i had it in a pile because i wasn’t sure if i liked it enough to list it and she absolutely refused to leave without buying it from me (which i took as an extremely high compliment). so there you go. maybe i should just make more and list them and see what happens? i have enough fabric to make 250,000,000 of them (yes, million).

but i suppose it would be nice if i could sew a straight line. you can see on the top by the zipper that they are somewhat wonky-looking. i blame this on my sewing machine needing a tune-up. yeah. that’s it.

so maybe i’ll practice sewing a straight line before i even think about listing these. :S

anyway, hope you’re having a great friday!
