Another Wristlet

I  whipped this little wristlet up yesterday.  The fabric has tiny red, yellow, and blue tulips on a navy background.  None of the felt flower buttons in my stash worked as décor, so I digitized my own appliqued and embroidered tulip to adorn the front and added ric rac as an added touch.  I still need to make the zipper pull and key fob, but I think the wristlet turned out pretty cute!


Have a great hump day!

Personalized I-Phone Case

 
Today, I personalized an I-Phone 4 case for a customer.  Since chevrons are so popular these days, I designed a circle with a chevron pattern in the middle, and then applied the monogram in a contrasting color.  I have a few of these cases, but will get more when I see how well they sell. 
 
I have a couple of different designs worked up and will be working on more.
 
I am offering these cases for $6 each, plus actual shipping.
 

Have a great weekend!

Going to be busy!

Good morning!

This is a short post because I need to get busy!  I replenished my zipper supply yesterday and also picked up some Mississippi State and Ole Miss fabrics.  Stay tuned for more zipper bags and key fob sets!

Happy Thursday!

More bracelets and a couple of more wristlet and key fob sets!

 
Good morning!
 
 
Who ever knew that taking decent pictures is hard work?!  I'm not anywhere near being a professional photographer, but I think my pictures are turning out pretty good for a  novice!
 
This is one of the round, hinged plastic bracelets that I am monogramming in vinyl.  This particular bracelet is a hot pink color.
 

Round, hinged plastic bracelet with monogram or name  $6, plus shipping

I also make survival bracelets.  These bracelets are made of 550wt. paracord, and each one contains about 8 feet of paracord.  Great for emergencies or if you just need a rope!  You can untie your bracelet and use it for just about any kind of emergency that requires a rope.

My bracelets are $5 each, plus actual shipping.

Here is a picture of a turquoise bracelet and a pink bracelet.

Zipper bags and key fobs

Hello, again!

Today, I want to show you an example of the zipper bags and key fobs that I make.  This is the last bag and key fob set that I have in stock at the moment, but I will be making more this afternoon.
Polka dog wristlet and key fob set-$15 for set, plus actual shipping

I use warm and natural cotton quilt batting and quilt the cotton fabric to a coordinating lining before I make the bag.  This bag and its matching key fob are each adorned with contrasting  ribbon and a coordinated felt flower button.  I attach a D-ring to the bag so that you can attach it to the key fob if you wish.  The key fob is cushioned with the same cotton batting for your comfort.

I also can customize a bag with your name or monogram, depending on the continuing availability of fabrics.  Please note that I monogram the bags BEFORE I sew them together.  I cannot monogram an already-made bag, as my hoops will not fit.  If you like one of the bags I've already made, a monogrammed one is available if I have more of the fabric.

This little bag really comes in handy for shopping without worrying about your purse, and it is the perfect size for carrying your essentials to a ball game or other activity without having to deal with a purse.  It is approximately 6" wide by 4" high, and will easily hold your phone, ID/credit/debit cards, and some cash.

This bag and key fob set is $15.  Customized bags with your name or monogram is $20.  We charge actual shipping to your area.  Just contact me and I will let you know the total cost before invoicing you.

Have a great Monday!

Welcome!

Welcome to my new blog!  Kick off your shoes and make yourself at home!
 
This blog is primarily to showcase items that I make to sell, but I'll probably share a little of my life with you, as well.
 
I mostly sew and do machine embroidery.  I also like to personalize items with my Cricut machine.  If the mood hits me, I have even been known to paint pictures, although that occurs very rarely!
 
For my first post, I would like to show you one of the things that I am doing at the moment, and invite you to shop with me.  My shipping policy is to charge the actual shipping cost, and I will let you know the total before you pay.  I generally use U.S. Priority mail for shipping.  You can contact me at handmadebymssippi   @  gmail . com (without the spaces) for more information.
 
My daughter and I found these plain vinyl-covered hard shell sunglasses cases yesterday, and I am customizing them with vinyl.  This is a black one that I did for myself, with polka dots and circles in dark red and white, along with my monogram in white.  Isn't it cute?
 

Eye glasses case-Front
 

Top and back of glasses case
The case is a pretty good size...about 6-1/2" wide, 2-3/4" front to back, and about 3" high.  It's the perfect size for my sunglasses, and it comes with a cleaning cloth inside.  Cost is only $15, plus actual shipping cost.

Sunglasses not included






I have yellow, pink, light blue, black, white, green, red, green, and fuschia colors.  Let me know what color case, and kind of design you would like to have on your case.  I can get it done and sent to you in less than a week.


Have a blessed Sunday!
