Shop Update - Denim and Wool Collection

I have a new collection of purses and accessories in my Etsy shop featuring a combination of wool and denim. The wool is one of my favorite materials. . . felted, or fulled, upcycled wool sweaters and denim from upcycled jeans.

 

 

I love the combination of textures of the soft, thick wool and the woven denim. And denim comes in so many color choices besides the traditional blue.

 

Here's just a sampling of items now available in my shop.

 

These are all great casual summertime accessories.

A Quick Shop Update. . .

Introducing my new "Carolyn Clutch".

I have several of these cute new clutch style purses now listed in the shop.

These clutches are the perfect size to carry a small wallet, phone, keys and lip gloss. Or put it in the larger bag you carry to work or the gym!

They are all made from felted wool sweaters in bright Spring colors and some have accents of other upcycled wool fabrics. Perfect for the girl on the go!

Some New Purses and Some New Designs

I took a little break from sewing and blogging last week to finish some other projects. It was good feeling of accomplishment and now I'm ready to work on some new designs for the shop!

I now have several new purses in felted wool listed in the shop.

I'm also working on a new design for a cute clutch purse! If all goes as planned, I should have some of the new clutches listed later this week.

Even though I didn't do much sewing during my little break, I did some thrift store shopping and found quite a few great items to use in making new purses. So there will be lots of "new" in the coming weeks. I'll be sure to share them here!

Upcycled Wearables in GreenCraft Magazine

I just received the latest issue, Winter 2010, of GreenCraft Magazine in the mail today. It's full of creative ideas for repurposeing everything from junk mail to old leather jackets!

A couple of my repurposed, felted wool sweater projects are featured in the Green Craft Walking section on page 96.

The model is holding one of my Emily mini-totes and wearing one of my felted flower brooches.

You can follow the instructions in the issue to try your hand at making your own felted flower brooch. Or have a look at the many choices of flower styles and colors available in my shop, FeltSewGood.

I find GreenCraft Magazine and other Stampington Publications at my local Barnes and Noble and at craft stores like Jo-Ann. Or they can be ordered online.

New Handbags!

I've been busy sewing this week and I just listed a few new handbags in my shop.

This is the plum Blakley style handbag.

And this is a pretty sky blue Bella style handbag. The Bella is my newest design and there will be more to come, in a variety of colors, next week.

I'm also working on a "garden fresh" batch of beaded rose brooches, so be sure to check out Felt Sew Good on Etsy on Monday, April 20!
