Flatty Patty - gadget purse

ODE TO FLATTY PATTY

by jenelyn

Flatty Patty sat on a wall

Flatty Patty is kinda small

Beside her was a tasty treat...

a USB full of meat

"Oh Yum!" she said

"Another to put inside my head!"

So with all her might

She sucked it up 

to her appetite's delight

Once it was in her reach

she nibbled like a leech

and when she was almost done

flatty patty was suddenly stunned

"What am I doing?!" She cried

"My dreams of being flat could've died!

Eating 8 GB of meat

would've turned me into a beet!"

so out came about that USB.

with it's large memory.

Flatty Patty lets out a sigh of relief

as she conquered a chronic feat

of eating all juicy gadgets found

and throwing it up

with no abound.

This is the life and story of Miss Flatty Patty,

a gadget purse who is only happy

when she is a big  flattieeeeee.

THE END

MisS flatty Patty is just a gadget purse that I made in mind for little accessories that I have that are all over my purse like my iphone charger, ear buds, or USBs. It comes with a lanyard type of thing on the side to make it convenient to carry around. I hope this can fit a digital camera. Like the poem/story, Miss Flatty Patty is meant to eat up gadgets and throw it up when you have to use it.  She is padded and made out of cute fabric patterns. Her keychain part is made out of suede! She is really cute.

It's 4 am again. noooo. goodnite ya'll.

Introducing Ms. Bobbin

Ms. Bobbin Debut

 

With Valentines Day just around the corner...

Pilly must find an appropriate way to say he loves her....

maybe a kiss will do!

Haha Yeah I know this post is full of cheese.

I have been anxious just to crochet and I've been wanting to make a creature with a beanie and ears coming out of it and that's mainly why Ms. Bobbin was made.

Also, I have been watching a lot of Britsh films lately and the most recent film I have watched was

"The September Issue" concerning Anna Wintour's life being the Head editor of American Vogue.

Although not a British-made film, Anna Wintour is british along with many other british appearances in the film...so in addition to this film there was also "An Education" and "The Bank Job" that I watched. And I kept hearing these British Influenced Names in my head and out came about : Ms. Bobbin. 

(heh even though "Bobbin" came from the french "bobine"

it just sounds like ms. Poppins who is british haha)

I know. My thought process doesn't make sense sometimes.

She is made out of very very soft yarn.

This HelloYellow Amirugumi was meant to be very feminine.

"I'm in a Box"

"Ohhh... where are my legs?"

The Beanie is tied around her like in real life with those beanies that have a string attached to the sides and you can tie them on the front (but no one really does).

::CONSTRUCTION::

Ms. Bobbin was made out of very soft yarn for babies.

I made her thinking... I want her to have a beanie!

So I made her one and made her ears...

"MY LIMBS! aaa"

haha I sewed on the rest of her limbs but here she looks like something from Disney's wally.

i love you much(most beautiful darling)

more than anyone on the earth and i
like you better than everything in the sky

-sunlight and singing welcome your coming

although winter may be everywhere
with such a silence and such a darkness
noone can quite begin to guess

(except my life)the true time of year-

and if what calls itself a world should have
the luck to hear such singing
(or glimpse such sunlight as will leap higher than high
through gayer than gayest someone's heart at your each nearness)

everyone certainly would
(mymost beautiful darling)
believe in nothing but love

HelloYellow Makeup Bag

Hi Everyone.

Last night I received some depressing news. It's amazing how sewing can relieve a lot of stress or worries. This is suppose to be a happy makeup bag. See all the bright colors! It's sunny here today in Houston. Sorry California.

This makeup bag is suppose to be for my friend Jessica.

It's bright and bubbly just like her.

The outer fabric is made out of muslin and patterned cotton.

The bag is 5"x7" just like a picture.

The bag is lined with brown cotton.

Put all makeup accessories here...

CONSTRUCTION

Here are the three fabrics being used.

I am ironing on the fusible interfacing fabric.

Cutting out the pattern and sewing the cotton and muslin together.

Sewing the zipper, the sides, and now the bottom corners.

TADA

This past week I have been reorganizing my things in order to accommodate this thriving hobby of mine.

I didnt really have a formal workstation or a studio. I just basically made my room into one.

ribbons!

Zippers and Embroidery Thread

Buttons, accessories, beads . . .

Accessory boxes

Thread supply

Scraps of Fabric, thread, and my cool measuring tape!

Perfect "On-the-go" measuring tape hehe

Fabric organized by color and material

So the other day, I went to High Fashion Fabric in Houston after running around Herman Park.

They are pretty amazing. However, the fabric is pretty expensive. I wish I were in the LA fashion district where it's like $2/yard!

They pretty much have EVERYTHING.

Printed cotton...whoa.

I wanna sew my own wedding dress. Is it possible? We'll see.. hahaha

My wedding dress is going to look like a 3rd grader's project.

Check out how expensive wool is per yard!

$129/yard. gaaah!

A lot of Italian fabric. It seems like anything made in Italy, the prices just spiked twofold.

I got a bunch of fabric. I don't want to have to buy more fabric in a while. I have to finish all these specially requested projects. The people who seem to own High Fashion Fabric are vietnamese.

The owners asked if I was viet.

The vietnamese people here in Houston keep asking me if I am vietnamese. Even my dentist. Even the owner of another Fabric store here in Houston: Universal Fabrics. They are viet too. It seems like all the vietnamese people run the textile industry here.

In other news, I got my EIN from the IRS.

 It seems I am going to be starting my etsy site very soon. I am aiming for mid March. ::crosses fingers:: Also, I am applying for my DBA tomorrow so I will be getting my business license very soon. I am really excited! Who would've known that I could be a little entrepreneur.

HelloYellow Crafts here we come.
