Fabric DeStash...

Brynwood Needleworks - Fabric Assortment In My Shop

 

I've been busy packing up the "non-essentials" in the studio these days, preparing for our move north. As I go through my fabrics, I'm pulling items to list in my shop. I took lots of photographs yesterday, and today, I'll be listing them up for sale. (BrynwoodNeedleworks.com)

Here's the great news: All the fabrics I'm adding will be only $5.00 a yard!! I'm selling full pieces, so some may only be one yard, while others may be as many as five yards (at $5/yard = $25!!).

If you subscribe to my shop, you'll get notifications as I add the new items to my listings. I have many pieces to add, so I'll do my best to get them all up today....just in time for your next project!

Shades of Purple...

Brynwood Needleworks - Shades of Purple

Stitches came out and now I can fully concentrate (and smile) a little easier. After I got home from the doctor's office, I went to the studio to pull purple fabrics. I have three clients who have requested Crossbody Clutch Wallets which incorporate purple into the linings.

I love the Tula Pink owls I showed you before, but decided to pull other options, so that they wouldn't all be matchy smatchy. I'll be making them with different cork exteriors...black, black with silver flecks, and natural.

I also have a purple cork on its way, but I'm going to wait until it arrives to try to match a lining fabric with it. Computer monitors, editing software, cameras and eyes all see color differently, so I won't know if this image is color accurate until it arrives in a few days.

In the meantime, I'll be finishing up on my outstanding orders while I think about all the "shades of purple" possibilities.

Feeling Better In The Studio...

Brynwood Needleworks - 64 - Black Cork Batik Crossbody Wallet

Yesterday was the first day I've been able to concentrate enough to be back in the studio. It was blissful! I created wallet number 64. It may look familiar. I made one just like this for one of my friends, and her girlfriend wanted one just like it.

I used my favorite zipper in this one, which matches the hardware. I use metal-look (antique bronze) poly zippers. I also have them in nickel finish, which I'll use when appropriate, but this client wanted the same hardware as the last one I made like this. Done! I made them just a bit different so they're unique, but similar. I'll be delivering it today when I'm out to get my stitches removed.

It's only been a week since my surgery, but the plastic surgeon who did the procedure doesn't like to leave facial stitches in too long or they're more likely to leave scars. I'll be glad to have them out, too! Not only do they pull, but they're starting to itch.

Best part is that I won't need anymore pain meds, and that means back in the studio! I have another Grab & Go Crossbody Clutch, as well as another Crossbody Wallet to make this week. Now, I'm feeling well enough to actually make them. It's going to be a good week.
