Flibbertygibbet: Stocking up

This week I'll be making lots more stock for the market (two more days booked at the moment, 25th November and 2nd December) and I've decided to mostly concentrate on these.

Make up bags, contact lens kit bags, or as I like to think of them 'the bag for all the junk that otherwise ends up at the bottom of my handbag' bags. You know, the hairclips, lip gloss, pens, chewing gum, earrings, safety pins - or is that just me?

Of course I forgot to photograph the one which was lined with some of Ethel's funky fabric, and now it has gone off to New York - ironically, that's where the outer fabric came from originally.

This week one of the new lines I'll be manufacturing (yes that's right, Flibbertygibbet is taking over the world!) is again using Ethel's fabrics, but this time I used it for the outside of the bag. Because it's quite delicate, I "quilted" the fabric to some sew-in interfacing, and then cut out the pieces from that. I wasn't quite happy with the shape at the bottom of this one so didn't bring it along but will have - literally - ironed out the creases for next week. I think it just needs a good pressing, actually. I do love the lining - liquid gold.

Will also do some more silver work for next week, at the moment there's the 'When You Wish Upon A Star', 'Dirty Martini', 'Skeleton Key' and this is the 'Flutter By'.

BTW, hello to all the visitors who found their way here from One Hour Craft - thanks for the mention on your lovely blog, Mia, hurrah! - I was going to tell all you crafty people that the tutorial for zipper bags is on Anna's blog and then I see that Mia has linked to her mousemat tutorial today! Small world, I tell you, this cyberspace...
