Crayon Wallets

So, my first fair starts this Friday at Christmas at the Forum.  I have a selection of infinity scarves, a few bibs and baby minky blankets available.  Now, I'm starting prep for the next fair on Nov 23-24.  It is the Holiday Fair with the East Coast Momma Collective and will have 3 event times (includes a Saturday night market).  I figure I will need a large amount of product, and so I just finished up 15 more crayon wallets today-it took me 3 days from start to finish!!!  There is a lot involved in making these, but they are just so cute.

That, is a good feeling!!

Crayon Wallet

Busy finishing up some more crayon wallets today.  They will soon be on their way to the shop in Bridgewater as well.  I don't normally buy a lot of pink fabric, but I am loving those cows.  Must be the farm girl in me. 

And here's the back row.  Some Dr. Seuss and more cows, only in blues. I'm also making a chenille blanket, but an adult lap size.  It will be for a close friend who is facing a stay in the hospital, and I thought something warm and cozy would help.  I'll share that tomorrow, the chenille is in the wash right now, am hoping to get it sewn onto the front tonight.

Something new...

 I've been working on some new items for the upcoming Spring Fair and wanted to be able to use both fabric and my love of paper crafts for the same item.  So, I made up some luggage tags (or for backpacks) that will make your luggage stand out from the sea of black suitcases going around the carousel at the airport.

And isn't that little box I found at Nest super cute to display them in?

Also restocking crayon wallets.  "Boy" fabric has come a long way since I started sewing.  So much nicer, I personally don't care for commercialized fabric such as Disney characters or any of the superheros, so I'm loving all the awesome designs out there for both boys and girls.

 Hope you all are having a great day!

Stocking up

I'm trying to be more organized this year and not leave all my craft fair sewing until the last month before the fair!  I'm currently stocking up on some crayon wallets as they seem to be a crowd favorite every time.  I have applied for the ECMC spring fair in April, so these will be on my table if I'm accepted!  I hope so, I participated the last 2 times, and it was  a great fair to be in!  Happy Friday!

Fresh Sewing!

Yesterday, I finished up 2 more baskets to put on my craft table.  That's a total of 6, so I think I'll see how they do at the fair in PEI before I make anymore for the ECMC fair in December.

I also finished 10 crayon wallets today, now there are 12 finished.  Here is a photo of the inside-

These are such great gifts for kids, and I love that it is for coloring/drawing-nothing to do with technology!!  Now, my neck is sore-time for a little break and have to make some homemade pizza for supper!!

Time to share these finishes with everyone at Crazy Mom Quilts finish it up Friday!

Drawstring bags

Yep, still making inventory for the show on Sunday.  I used Jeni's pdf pattern from In Color Order for the bags and I've restocked some girl crayon wallets (pdf pattern courtesy of JCasa hanmade).  I'll be working on cards the rest of the week.  Linking up to The Needle and Thread Network and Quiltstory today!

New Crayon Wallets

 Here's how it looks on the inside, with crayons, gel pens and a notepad.

I've been making some new crayon wallets over the last day or so.  I'm using the PDF pattern from JCasa Handmade.  Kids love these wallets, and I'm loving the fun fabric I found to use!  I bought the reclaimed wood tray they are in from Rusty Hinges in Halifax, love having neat display items, and they have plenty.  I'll be at the Dartmouth Farmers Market at Alderney landing on May 12th from 8am-1pm for any of you who read that are local!  I'm linking this to Magic Onions, Friday nature's table today.

Crayon Wallets

I know I haven't posted in a week, but I really still have been sewing! I registered for another craft show, this time in Middle Musquodoboit, Dec 3rd and 4th. I decided to make some crayon wallets to sell for the first time and see what the response is. I know any child that I've given one to loves them. I had purchased the pdf pattern last year from JCasa handmade, the only thing I changed is the velcro closure instead of the elastic and button.

Crayon wallets

It was a rainy day yesterday, and the girls were at a friends house, so I decided to make a few crayon wallets. Soon enough, school will be back in session and there will be lots of birthday parties to get ready for! (Pattern was purchased at JCasa Handmade). I'm linking this post to Quiltstory today!

Jack's crayon wallet

I made another one of these wallets for our little friend Jack (he's 4). He'll be starting school in September, so I thought maybe he could practice his letters in the little notepad. I found some robot/space stickers at Michael's, then decided he needed his wallet to be a space theme to go with the stickers!

Owl crayon wallet

And here is one for a little girl. This owl fabric is so cute, and the little crocheted flower on the front is by Stampin up. I made my girls each one for xmas and they love them. Great for travelling.

More crayon wallets

I've been making some crayon wallets today-this one is for a friend's grandson. I made the star embellishment out of felt to cover up where I sewed the velcro on. I think it works well with the robot/spaceship theme.

Claire's coloring wallet

I've finished the wallet for Claire now as well. I think I'll add some mini gel pens to the center pocket on both hers and Charlotte's. I changed the closure as well. Charlotte's is a button with an elastic, but for this one I decided to make a velcro closure, and then just sewed a crocheted flower on top to hide the stitching from the velcro. I think I prefer the wallet with this type of closure.

Christmas gift- Coloring Wallet

I bought this pattern from JCasa's blog. It is so cute, and great to bring in the car or to a restaurant. It has room for crayons/gel pens, a note pad and an extra pocket for stickers or to store the finished projects. This one is a present for Charlotte, I'll be working on Claire's next.
