Matryoshka & Friends Zippered Pouches!

[Rye]

I purchased some really adorable (& expensive, gahhh~) fabric from Japan. I worked really hard to sew these well, and the zippers are pretty much completely straight, so even I have no qualms with them. It's fully lined with a matching orange & white polka dot fabric, with a funky durable purple zipper. It's strong!

They measure approx. 7 in. x 5 in.

I ordered a looooot of this fabric, so I'm actually going to be selling these. I'll be selling them for about $6, depending on the size.

So if you guys are super cereal serious about wanting to buy them, I'll totally put some TLC into making one for you. I'll be selling them on Etsy.com! Considering these weigh, like, nothing, I'm sure the shipping price will only be a dollar or two at most.

They're a good size for a bit of make-up in a pocket book, like lipsticks and lipglosses, for a cell phone, the average sized point and shoot camera, or something cute to put your TOILETRIES in. A good gift for the missus, guys!

So tell me what you think, and if you want to buy one? :jess:

I will buy one! I need a new case for my pens etc~

This fabric seriously kills me. It has like all of my favorite things on it. If it had sushi my head would just fucking explode.

And this bag came out great!

I would build a lightbox and take the pictures in natural light before putting them on Etsy; these pictures make the colors looked kind of washed out and I remember you posting the fabric before and it looked much prettier.

I wonder how mad BJ would be if I requested you make me a camera case... I want SOMETHING with this fabric but I already have too many little zipper pouches!

[xXsarahXx]

that is sooooo cute!
If the postage wasnt as horrific to the Uk as i think it may be i would have bought one :(

[Rantz]

Wuyyyy it's adorable!

Hehehee. Yeah, I think I may well make a camera case, it uses very little fabric! I knew I should have grabbed some felt. Thanks!

For the pix I put on Etsy, I think I'll use my nice Canon DSLR to get some nice natural photos without flash!

Also, I don't think it'll cost that much to ship to the UK. I'm not sure, but how much it goes by weight, but this weighs virtually nothing, so.

[Breine]

Very cute, and I like the colours a lot.

[Rye]

Thank you!

Just letting y'all know that I sold two of them! So my stock is dwindling,if you want to buy one. :bigsmile:

My next project before I leave my sewing machine for two months (:( :( :() is going to be a present for Rye-Papa!

I'm gonna make him a big nylon pouch for his job! I'm gonna sew on a Ferrari decal on it too.

[Shlup]

You sold two already?! Man, maybe I should've practiced sewing instead of playing with clay.

I want a camera bag! Like with the little heart button (unless you have a better idea). I have this (http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/specs/Canon/canon_sd870is.asp) camera, dimensions being 3.7 x 2.3 x 1 in.

I will pay anything just give me an excuse to buy something with that fabric! And if it's easy to pick what part shows most prominently on the front, the matryoshkas are my favorite part. Eeee!

[Rye]

Oh no, that's perfect! I think I'll try to find an orange ribbon, since the pink and black doesn't really match, but I'll totally put on that button, since I have a few extra. I'll get to it tomorrow, when I go shopping.

[Shlup]

experiencing great joy

[Rye]

Super convenient, our cameras are almost the same exact size, so I can just use it as my guide again!

[Shlup]

Yay! If you finish it soon and I don't reply it's cause I'm camping this weekend. <3

[Madame Adequate]

I can't believe you were talking about such a matter on 9/11. Women have no sense of propiety or gravitas. :mymelbert:

[Shlup]

I guess it's a good thing I didn't post what song was stuck in my head all day then.

[Rye]

ETSY TIME.

[Shlup]

Too late, someone already bought it.

(It was me though.)

[Rye]

Yay! First sale via Etsy! w00t w00t.

Now I just have to figure out how to accept my payments. ;_;

[Shlup]

D'oh! xD

What do you mean? My payment should show up as a positive balance on your PayPal account. You can attach it to your bank account or have them mail you a check. I'm going to let it build up more before I ask for a check though.

[Rye]

Nah, I got it now. PayPal was being like, 50 patoots, but the money is mein now.

I'm gonna ship it out tomorrow. :bigsmile:

[nik0tine]

You should make a few more identical bags that keep getting smaller and put them inside one another!
