Material Deficit

Alas! I'm out of fabric! What am I to do? I've made two sets of my "Jumpin' Java Apron Set" and completely enjoyed every minute of that. However, I feel a small little empty place inside because my sewing machine is packed away in it's case... Ugh...

I really wish that I could sell those two sets so I could purchase more material. I have SO many projects just tumbling around in my head! I found many different fabrics that would work so well with my ideas... There is a really fresh and sophisticated fabric that has hot pink gerbera dasies on a black-on-black polka-dot fabric that would be perfect for a short robe and pajama pant...

My idea book is really full, my material stash is super empty. And truly, the only reason I want to sell my creations is to be able to buy more fabric to keep sewing! Well, at church there is a Quilting Club, so I may just have to join that to be able to pull out my beloved sewing machine until I'm able to get more material.

Ok, enough sulking... time to get back to daily chores.  Thanks for listening all!

My First Collection

***UPDATE UPDATE!!!!***

This set is currently posted on portland.craigslist.org under "Jumpin' Java Apron Set".  Check it out!!!
*************************************************************************************************

Ta-da! Here is my very first collection! I'm calling it Jumpin' Java! It's a simple collection of one full apron, two tea towels, and two hot pads.

I was planning on adding four cloth napkins, four placemats and a set of cafe curtains to go along with the collection, however my fabric is running VERY short, and there isn't anymore at my supplier...alas, Jumpin' Java will have to be a limited edition!

So there you have it! My first collection! Let me know what ya'll think!

Welcome to the new Murphy's Law!

About 3 years ago my mother-in-love, Brenda, gave me a sewing machine for my birthday. For a while I didn't do much with it. I tried a few things like a slipcover for the sofa, some curtains, nothing but straight stitching. But now that we've moved out here to the west coast I've discovered that I have a passion for creating things!


I've decided to try and sell my creations. So far, I've made aprons, tea towels and hot pads. I'm really pleased with what I've done so far, and if I'm able to sell out of what I have now, I'll certainly branch out into other areas! I'll most likely stick to household accessories and bags and things. So far I'm not brave enough to try clothing! An apron pattern is complex enough for me!


So anyhow, I'll be posting my creations here for all to see; I'll probably be selling them on http://www.etsy.com/. etsy.com is a great website for all things handmade! So many awesome, cute, and functional things on there! People are so creative!


Alright, time to head out, but I'll post different things that I've made, soon!


Bye bye for now!
