Last week, I made a lovely purse as a commission (so you won’t see it on my Etsy site). I turned it over to the buyer, but I got some pics first and am including them below!

You can’t see it here, but the purse is lined with a light purple. The handles are faux bamboo. It’s also got an inner pocket for all those things a girl might not want free-floating in her purse. It’s going to be a Christmas gift and I really hope the recipient likes it. I developed the pattern myself based on a picture.

(photos are a little dark–the flash made the fabric reflect in a funny way)

If you’re interested in a purse commission, use the contact form in the sidebar. Or if you’re interested in a (free) description of the pattern for your own sewing use, use that to contact me! Always ready to help out another sewer.

I’m much happier with these ones. I only just finished the blue and lilac one tonight, so it won’t be uploaded until after I’ve taken pictures tomorrow. But here’s a few more for your enjoyment:

This one’s my favorite of the current batch. I love the way the batik makes the wings all a bit different. I also think I got the wing shapes better than last time. (Listing)

I made one of these in the nano size (listing) and one in the normal size (listing). The sparkly, clear fabric and the purple satin fabric were lying beside each other in a remnants bin and I just saw how well they’d work together! It’s not reversible, since the sparkles might scratch the case.

This batik is plain, it’s got nothing exciting going on but it’s nice and simple. (listing)

And, last, these red and white cases are made with some fabric I love! They’ve got a simple white lining (but if you want red, you can check out some other cases I have on Etsy). (nano) (normal)

That’s it for tonight! I’m going to post tomorrow about the baby turkey. I just have to blur some faces from the photos, so that people will stay anonymous.

I really like this case pattern, though I’m happier with the yellow butterfly than the orange one. The definition of the orange one’s wings doesn’t show up as well in the picture as I’d like. But if you buy the case, you can always stick with your favorite side

 My favorite side:

My less-favorite side (but still kinda pretty):

And this shows you how the case looks when you flip it open:

The case fits an original iPod, or the iPod touch and iPhone. Or anything else that’s roughly its size.

I love butterflies–how they symbolically represent new life, how they’re such beautiful colors. Even their fragility is beautiful. I hope to do more such cases.

While my main blogging is done at MrsMicah.com (Mrs. Micah: Finance and Life), I think that my crafting doesn’t quite fit in there. That is, I hope I’ll be producing a lot of crafts and while I might periodically mention them, I was looking for a more appropriate place to discuss items, commissions, and post lots of pics (when possible).

So here it is: Madeby.MrsMicah.com!

The sidebar already has a link to my Etsy site. I’m planning to configure a contact box for those who’d like to commission pieces. Let me know what you want, I’m open! I primarily accept PayPal, but may be willing to use other methods, just ask.

Here’s to crafting and blogging!
