JoolieSews: Ebay and Etsy Update Friday

I am still working on that big pile of pouches I have featured in a post a couple of weeks ago. I have had some requests for more Laurel Burch prints. I have some and will be having more items with them.

I wanted to take one moment to explain a couple of things. Some people think I can whip out a bag the minute they ask for it and have it up on auction the next day, or think I buy wholesale and mark up and sell my items, Or it has been thought that I pay people to do my work.

These are all false.

I am very lucky to have such a wonderful place to sew. A few years ago we remodeled our basement and finished it. A large portion was transformed in to a comfortable setting for me to create my handmade items in. I was going to show you pictures, but my room is in such a mess, I cringed at the pictures and just couldn't bring myself to post them. I am a one person show. My goal in the begining was to make unique bags and pouches. I wanted each one to be high quality. I want each item to arrive to the person who purchased it, in a way that they would be completely happy with that purchase. I could make my items faster if I didn't care about all the minor details, but I do care and want my items to stand above others. I want to head toward my original goal and get back to making some unique items. No one makes my bags for me. I do all the work myself. I occassionally have a different item I have made posted. I like dolls and knitting so sometimes it is doll clothes, sometimes it is a quilted calendar cover with calendar, or a journal with a quilted cover. Somethings do better than others and that has taken me down the road of making things more then once. I really would rather stick to unique and hope to someday get back to that. So please check back often and don't miss what I may put up next.

I am going to work hard to finish up the pile of pouches and get onto some credit card holders and another unique bag set for Christmas.
