Market Apples Journal Cover

Mon, 30 Nov 2009 12:26:59 -0500

$18.00
You will love writing down your shopping lists, your dreams, your plans, poems--whatever!--even more with this pretty little journal cover.

This cover is made with high quality, reinforced cotton. It is sturdy--2 cotton layers and 2 interfacing layers. It features pretty little apples in pink and red. One of my favorites!

There is a pocket and a pen loop on the inside flap.

The journal cover comes with the 7 x 5 inch notebook pictured. You can see in the picture that the notebook has a bit of wiggle room--this is so, when the cover is closed, the notebook will be completely covered.

When it's closed, the cover measures 6 x 8.25 inches. Open, it is 12 inches across, not including the snap tab.

I use a similar notebook cover for all of my Seat Of My Pants notes and orders, and I absolutely love it. I put a calculator and a receipt pad in the pocket, and sometimes some spare notes in the back flap with the back cover of the notebook. I think I will be making myself another one for my summer classes!

Thank you for looking!

Moss Chandelier Zippered Purse and Sunglasses Case set

Mon, 30 Nov 2009 12:25:45 -0500

$50.00
My newest bag design--I'm crazy about the shape and feel of this bag.

Two of my most popular requests:
Jen, you should make more bags with zippers.
and...
Jen, you should make glasses cases.

I heard you! And I'm happy to present this new design.

Measurements:
bottom: 9.5 inches
top: 12.5 inches
depth: 3 inches
strap: 8 inch drop
pockets: 2 inside, 3.5 x 7 inches

This particular set is made with a beautiful, whimsical, mossy green cotton, and is accented with coral, brown, and green straps. The zipper has a lovely beaded charm (zipper charms allow me to indulge my bead habit, which is another story for another time!).

This bag has a matching sunglasses case. The case's measurements are 3.5 x 7 inches.

Both the bag and the sunglasses case are reinforced with fusible interfacing. That means there are 4 layers to the bag--2 cotton, 2 interfacing--and 8 layers to the straps--4 cotton, 4 interfacing. My bags are tough!

I highly recommend hand washing and line drying your bag, as this will extend its life.

If you would like to pick your own fabrics for this design, I'm happy to help you find the perfect prints!

This set would make a great birthday, graduation, or holiday gift.

Elenore Photo Clutch in Park Slope

Mon, 30 Nov 2009 12:25:45 -0500

Measurements:
4.5 x 7.5 inches when closed and empty.

Yes, yes, yes, I will make you one in the fabric of your choice and some special features! Just drop me a convo!

Oh, did I mention that you could use this clutch as... well, a clutch? No need to frantically search for photos just because you want to carry around something this cute. Put whatever you want into it--nice size for a checkbook or your other small personal items.

Thanks for looking at my brand new design!

* I wanted to make a pretty little photo envelope for my grandma so I could send her pics of the kiddos in something other than the online photo processing flip book. I think she will get a big kick out of hers!

Never Stop Blooming Zippered Purse and Sunglasses Case set

Tue, 15 Sep 2009 15:20:03 -0400

$50.00
My newest bag design--I'm crazy about the shape and feel of this bag.

Two of my most popular requests:
Jen, you should make more bags with zippers.
and...
Jen, you should make glasses cases.

I heard you! And I'm happy to present this new design.

Measurements:
bottom: 9.5 inches
top: 12.5 inches
depth: 3 inches
strap: 8 inch drop
pockets: 2 inside, 3.5 x 7 inches

This particular set is made with a gigantic flower print and a tiny tile print. (Even though, as you can see, our grass isn't the greenest, this bag will never stop blooming! Har har har!) The zipper has a lovely beaded charm (zipper charms allow me to indulge my bead habit, which is another story for another time!).

This bag has a matching sunglasses case. The case's measurements are 3.5 x 7 inches.

Both the bag and the sunglasses case are reinforced with fusible interfacing. That means there are 4 layers to the bag--2 cotton, 2 interfacing--and 8 layers to the straps--4 cotton, 4 interfacing. My bags are tough!

I highly recommend hand washing and line drying your bag, as this will extend its life.

If you would like to pick your own fabrics for this design, I'm happy to help you find the perfect prints!

This set would make a great birthday, graduation, or holiday gift.

Cell Phone / Gadget Case in Coolio Batik--minor oops

Tue, 15 Sep 2009 12:08:38 -0400

$8.00
This case is made from high quality cotton batik fabric that has been reinforced with interfacing. Each side of the case has 2 layers of cotton and 2 layers of fairly heavy interfacing. It closes with a silver ring snap.

The case measurements are 3.5 wide and 5.25 tall. It holds my LG Voyager phone (which is about 2 x 5 x .75 inches) perfectly.

Yes, I can make this case in a special fabric and size--I will just need exact, precise measurements.

Thank you for stopping by seatofmypants.etsy.com!

About the minor oops--
* As you can see in the 3rd picture here, there is a minor flaw in this otherwise awesome cell phone case. You see, I attached the snap about 1/5 of an inch too far to the left and 1/6 of an inch too high, and there's a couple small punctures in the fabric where I removed that snap. Rest assured, this is still an awesome case, and you really can't beat the price!

New mommies and babies both will enjoy the bright colors on these cloths.

Impatiens Aren't Impatient Journal Cover

$18.00
The could be impatiens, couldn't they!

You will love writing down your shopping lists, your dreams, your plans, poems--whatever!--even more with this pretty little journal cover.

This cover is made with high quality, reinforced cotton. It is sturdy--2 cotton layers and 2 interfacing layers. It is made with a beautiful pink cotton print.

There is a pocket and a pen loop on the inside flap.

The journal cover comes with the 7 x 5 inch notebook pictured. You can see in the picture that the notebook has a bit of wiggle room--this is so, when the cover is closed, the notebook will be completely covered.

When it's closed, the cover measures 6 x 8.25 inches. Open, it is 12 inches across, not including the snap tab.

I use a similar notebook cover for all of my Seat Of My Pants notes and orders, and I absolutely love it. I put a calculator and a receipt pad in the pocket, and sometimes some spare notes in the back flap with the back cover of the notebook. I think I will be making myself another one for my summer classes!
