having regrets

so the first giveaway got a ragingly amazing response. because of this i figured that y'all were writhing with desire for jewelry rolls. so before the winner was even selected, i got my booty in gear and started churning out more with a henry-ford's-assembly-line pace of blistering efficiency. i evened ordered a huge assortment of zippers off ebay to avoid paying $2 PER ZIPPER at jo-ann in anticipation of your outcry for more jewelry rolls.
.
and then the responses started coming in on the latest poll of what the next giveaway should be.
.
huh. apparently NOT jewelry rolls. y'all want lunch bags. lots and lots of lunch bags. the one project that i completely failed on AND the most labor intensive project of any i have done so far (machine quilting...yuck).
.
so while i try to psych myself up to make lunch sacks, what am i going to do with all these:


the current stash (minus the red one which is gone, but i have the fabric and desire to make it again)

love this fab

this is a dark brown...not black



yearning to hold jewels


i decided to go outside of my personal style preferences and make this one girlie with purple fabric with musical trim. this was my first time lining the pockets with a different fabric.

i even added a ruffle to the back!

if i was gonna sell these on etsy i would have to charge between 18-23 bucks just to break even on the supplies plus sweat shop labor wages for my time and i seriously doubt anyone would be willing to pay that much. i even had some new ideas for adding different/more pockets and a new system for holding rings. alas. poor, poor me.
.
now here's the part where you tell me i'm crazy and these are WONDERFUL and you would pay $50 just to be able to own one of them and the thought of having another chance to win one in a giveaway stirs your loins. ready, set, go.

  4. oooo- I love the bright colored one with the blue ribbon! You make me want to get a sewing machine- except mine would sit in the box and I would probably never use it! So, I will just live vicariously through you!
