potholders/ hand towels

 This'll be the last request made until after Christmas. These are for the same gal that I made the knitting needle roll up. She wanted as much upcycled material as possible, with the potholders having yellow, red, brown, and orange in them, as well as a pocket on the back and a loop to hang them up. I did have a tricky time with the binding. I think they turned out well. hopefully she agrees.

She also requested two blue hand towels. She wasn't specific on the shade of blue so I gave her some good 'ole Duke blue. She just wanted them to be at least 7"x 7". These are actually 8"x8".

taking it too far

I have been on this etsy kick for awhile now.  I found this request today and I thought 1- ew gross, and b- this is taking the requesting part of etsy too far. I mean really for hippie gals, this may be the way to go, but really...this is grossly funny, mainly just gross. oh and you're welcome. :)

trista/knitting needle holder

I have been busy making a few more things for etsy. These girls get sent out tomorrow. This apron was requested to be reversable and adjustable with room for growth, along with oven mitts, hot pads, and dish cloths. She also wanted it to be embroidered. I tried the cursive font I have, but didn't like it. The apron got rave reviews from the etsy customer.

 This knitting needle roll up was requested to be made to fit the 14" needle size with a variety of pocket sizes. She wanted greens, purples, and preferred upcycled material. The denim that I got from Sister Dunlap constitutes upcycled material. (upcycled meaning saved from being destroyed and being reused, or refashioned.) She also wanted it to have an elastic closure. I added the flap, to help keep the needles in their place when rolled up.

This etsy thing is kinda fun!

mango, MD

 I had my second sale this week. I had bid on Alchemy to make this 3T doctor's coat last week, but didn't hear back for a few days. Once I got the offical bid acceptance, this little sucker was sewn within 24 hours. I could've finished it earlier, but I didn't have the right buttons on hand. (I know right...me not having the right buttons.) Since the coat was for a girl, I wanted to add some femininity to it and my buyer was down with the changes. The changes included the detail in the back of the coat...a waist band and a few panels, along with the waist band in the front.

 Here is the finished project. I was quite pleased with my work.

 My buyer wanted the name Mango, MD embroidered on it. Since the coat was already sewn, hooping it was a bit on the tricky side. I came out a bit slanted.

This beauty was shipped today.
