Two New Products And My First Sale

Yesterday I thought I have to skip today's #NeedleworkMonday but here I am with my entry. Lucky me, I was able to finish two of my sewing machine mats, that I started working on two weeks ago. Unfinished projects are not my thing but I had other things to do. Let's look at the bright side, better late than never and now I've got two new products to list in my Etsy shop. So first I'd like to show you what I've been working on and then I'll show you what I've sold.

Patchwork Sewing Machine Mat

It's been a few months since I started making denim bags and no matter how careful I am with the fabrics, there are leftovers that I don't want to throw away. My goal is to recycle, upcycle and use whatever I can so it doesn't go to waste.

These pieces are perfect for a patchwork piece and I'm not the only one who like patchwork.

For this one I used two pockets. The problem with pockets is that a pair of jeans has two pockets and the bigger the size, the bigger the pockets.

I don't mind big size jeans as I get more fabric but the huge pockets are hard to use.

Squares

My sewing machine is made of squares and I love it. I thought I'd make one for my Etsy shop and here it is.

These are 12cm x12cm squares with 1cm allowance. For this one I had to create the pockets, so I thought I'd make three pockets, with red lining.

Also used a label from a pair of jeans to make it more interesting.

Tomorrow I'm going to list them and see who's going to adopt them.

My First Sale

My Etsy Shop is pretty new, not to mention I've been busy and had no time for marketing, so I wasn't expecting anything, but here it is, my first sale. This bag is on it's way to the United States, shipped last week.

I'm hoping to show you some bags next week as I've got a few jeans, colorful fabric, perfect for what I want.
