Fresh Fings Friday!

It's Fresh Fings Friday! One has a veritable rainbabow of exciting new things, including new fabric and a beautiful burnt orange somethingorother that's newly mine, if not quite in mine paws yet - it's actually headed first to a certain nibsmif for an architectural adjustment. This is terribly exciting - I've just done a three-day intensive statistics workshop and thoughts of adding this beauty to my small flock went a long way to keeping me sane.

Actually, speaking of longed-for things, were I not already locked into a grail or two (2!) I'd be picking up a grail or two from Britain and making the most of the Brexit-induced bargains. I very nearly added some hue-shifted Union Jack fabric to my order in honour of the day, but then realised that after a very short while (e.g. by 0900hrs Sunday) everyone will be sick to death of hearing about the damn thing..

Who else got new things this week?

SOLD! Butterflies & flowers 6-pen wrap

"Good morning!"

I love this fabric. It is bold, bright, and looks fantastic teamed with the rich orange lining - I still have my orange crush going on, and so I really enjoyed making this bright beauty! Orange is such a happy colour, I feel that no matter what drudgery the working day might have in store for you, it would be impossible to stay glum upon opening this wrap to that cheery lining. "Good morning!", it bellows to your retinas! "Wake the hell up!"

Both outer and lining fabrics are strong cotton canvas, so when teamed together make for a durable wrap for carefree use. All seams are triple-stitched for resilience. The wrap fits six large fountain pens. (Or other kinds of pens, if you're that kind of person. It's okay, I won't judge.)

Beyond that orange lining, my favourite aspect of this wrap is that I managed to get the flap and the pouch patterns to line up exactly! I'm a perfectionist in my sewing - when edge stitching I go stitch-by-stitch to ensure that these most visible seams are straight and even - so the fact that I managed to align the patterns so well gives me major geeky thrill.

Ye gods! Alignment!

This pen wrap is reserved for a wonderful gentleman who declared that I was not charging enough and sent through $15 extra - you know who you are, thank you so much! Not that extra proof of his generosity is needed, but this wrap is intended to be a gift. The recipient is very lucky to have such a great friend. :)

If you love this wrap and want a cheery good morning friend of your own, drop me a line, I'll make you one too!

Selling my first ever 6-pen wrap! Due to its prototype status I am selling this wrap for just $20 shipped within Australia.
