Another li'l corduroy bag

 

The purple corduroy pants live on!  Messing around with  scraps, really.  This one's a gift for a friend.

Toucan Zip Pouch, Pink + Blue

Another toucan!  Zip-pouch.  Hand-embroidered.  You know the drill.

Nibs Rides Again!

Nibs appears again, this time with a brick-red 'n' blue floral backing.

Purple Corduroy + Beads

$15 + shipping

So my friends have taken to giving me their old clothes, which I promptly butcher and salvage for cool fabric options.  Mostly denim and the occasional corduroy.  Most of the pouches you see here, were once my friends' pants.  These cords, however, were mine.  They served me well!

This is just a fun li'l zipper-pouch with beading detail.  See more on Etsy here.

Toucan, Finished!

Another addition to the Hedge Fund fam!

Experiment: Skull Pouch

Yes.  I cannot draw.  Kmat has since emailed me a much better rendering to be used for future projects.

This was a gift for a friend who loaned me her French press after mine died in an unfortunate explosion of coffee all over my kitchen.  Said friend loves skulls.

I liked how it came out.  Gonna make more soon!

Hedge Fund, Purple

Another hedgehog zip-pouch.  Meant to be used as a coin-purse, but it does fit a standard-size ID.  "Nibs" the hedgehog was designed by my pal Kristin Matwiczyk.

This guy is purple, to match the fabric on the back.  Made from old jeans (recycled).  See the Etsy listing for more details.

Owl Zipper Pouch, Blue (with stripes in back)

$25 + shipping.

I kinda love this guy.  The backing fabric coordinates beautifully with the embroidery, if I do say so myself.  But you'll have to click on the Etsy-listing to see more.

Zipper Pouch... Namaste.

At this point, you know Kristin, right?  And this awesome design she drew for me to embroider on yoga mat bags and stuff, right?

Ok, good.

So I'm embroidering this design on other stuff now.

The old-assed jeans that wrought this zipper pouch were a bit distressed.  Like me, after Lou Reed died. But I digress.

Hedge-Fund, Wine 'n' Crackers

Cutest idea I've EVER had?!?  Well, actually, no.  It wasn't totally my idea, I can't take full credit.  I was messing about with the hedgehog idea, but it was a dear old friend who suggested, "Make it a coin-purse and call it a 'Hedge Fund.'"

My friends are smart AND funny.  And this pouch is freaking cute.

Hedgie designed by Kmat.  Stitched and built by me.  The colors in this one remind me of wine 'n' crackers, hence the name.

Check out the Etsy listing.  Don't be afraid to convo me with custom requests for colors and such, the possibilities are endless!

Owl Zipper Pouch, Pink 'n' Green

$25 + shipping.

I inherited a box of zippers.  I've been on a zipper-pouch rampage.  People have been requesting more owls.  I have also been on an owl rampage.  Personally, I thought owls were over.  Apparently not.  Which is just fine by me.

See the Etsy listing here.

Recycled Jeans Sunglasses Pouch: Pink Dandies.

More recycled jeans madness.

Clearance, Clarence

$18 + shipping.

I have a Clearance section in my Etsy shop.  It's like the Island of Misfit Toys.  A home for items that don't pass my inspection, but still deserve a home.  And are available at a reduced price.

In this case: you can't tell from the photo, but this guy is a little wonky.  Slightly-lopsided.  And even though I spent a ton of time making it... didn't quite turn out the way I expected.

Still, perfectly up to the task of holding your eyewear.  And when the glasses are in the pouch, you can't even tell the difference.

Squares.

$22 + shipping.

Keeping the embroidery designs simple helps me to keep the cost down.  You know I love detailed work, but this design is nice and simple... and it looks pretty cool against the dark-washed denim.

This is a zipper pouch, 7" W x 4.5" H.  Made from recycled jeans and hand-embroidered.

You can see more pics and info on the etsy listing here.

Recycled Jeans Sunglasses Pouch: Little Trees.

I'm obsessed!  I think it's 'cause I love the way embroidery looks on denim?

Fun to make, at any rate.

Recycled Jeans Sunglasses Case: Dandelions

$30 + shipping.

I gotta say, this guy came out way cute.  It goes in the freakingcute file.

Gonna make more along these same lines.

Hand-Embroidered Recycled Jeans Sunglasses Pouch

$38 + shipping.

Lotsa colors, lotsa stitches, some beads thrown in for good measure.  Recycled jeans, distressed from wear (but reinforced for longevity).

Could also be used to carry a phone or mp3 player... pens/pencils... make-up brushes... whatever you deem pouch-worthy.

SOLD!  But you can see more like it here.
