Brynwood Needleworks - Coraline In Tourmaline...

Brynwood Needleworks - Coraline in Tourmaline

This is the first of a new line of wristlets and clutches I'll be listing in my Etsy shop. The design is from Swoon Patterns, and it's called Coraline. I'm creating them under a licensing agreement with Swoon.

I'm using sample fabric swatches that are now discontinued, so each of my wristlets will be true one-of-a-kind pieces. There will not be another like this one.

Each of these wristlets will have an interior currency pocket, with six credit card slots. (Sorry, the currency isn't included.) There's plenty of room for your cell phone, along with any other items you'd like to carry with you.

You can find all the details about this particular bag in my Etsy shop:

One more thing about my Etsy shop: I will not be taking any special orders after November 30th for the month of December. I may put the shop in vacation mode, so that I'll have the time to work on Christmas gifts and spend holiday time with my family. Any custom orders placed prior to November 30th will be fulfilled in time for Christmas.

Of course, you'll hear from me every day here on my blog, so I hope you'll continue to visit as you're able through the holidays.

Brynwood Needleworks - Logo Embroideries

I now have digitized images of my logos that I'm able to machine embroider right onto my creations. I had fun playing with Destiny to stitch them out before I began sewing yesterday. You'll notice that I've already started using them on my Coralines. (I love them!) What do you think?

Bella's back! I'd love to tell you all about her return to Brynwood, but I don't want to spoil Tag's post for next week. He's got plenty to say about their reunion. hee hee 

Enjoy your weekend. Handsome, Tag, Bella and I plan to do the same.

Cutting Coralines...

Brynwood Needleworks - Coralines

This wasn't the only thing I did in the studio yesterday, but it was the one thing I did toward making new items for my Etsy shop (or as Christmas gifts). 

I'm going to make two Coraline clutches, and I'm modifying them to include credit card slots. I spent the afternoon cutting fabrics for exteriors and linings; interfacings and choosing hardware. Then I fused the interfacings. Now all I have to do is assemble them.

Brynwood Needleworks - Purse-making Vinyls

I also did a little shopping yesterday morning. I purchased three beautiful vinyl fabrics that I'll be using to make wallets and handbags. My only dilemma is which one to use first! I guess I'll concentrate on one thing at a time. I'll sew up these Coralines first. 

(Tag's very excited. Bella's coming home today!)
