I hope I haven’t lost any of you yet by showing you all the projects I’ve been working on for the past couple of months in one week. This is the last one with the new projects and tomorrow I will show you the booties that Nina wears to keep from licking her paws raw from her allergies.
Back in February I started making yarn project bags to sell. First to a yarn shop near where my sister lives and also to several fellow bloggers that requested custom bags. A couple of months ago I approached one of the local yarn shops The Village Yarn and Fiber Shop and asked if they would be interested in selling some of my bags on commission and they agreed to take 5 bags to sell.

They accepted the four drawstring bags shown above and one clutch style bag.
The clutch style bag has a new feature with an opening next to the zipper where you can pull your yarn through while you are working on your knitting or crochet project.
I’m happy to report that within a month and a half four of the bags sold and they requested more.

These are the new bags I brought them. I haven’t checked in recently to see how they are selling, but plan on doing so after the holiday weekend.
I’m excited to be able to sell these bags locally, but I really enjoy making custom bags. If you are interested in ordering a custom bag from me feel free to stop by my Etsy shop Cindy’s Thread Craft to place your order for a custom bag.
These bags are not just for yarn crafters but are great for carrying a variety of items. The drawstring bags can be used as a backpack and the clutch makes a great evening bag or camera bag.
There are a wide variety of embroideries to choose from that include many dog breeds and other pet related themes. You can check out the embroidery designs at my Cindy’s Thread Craft blog. Don’t forget the holidays will be here before you know it so if you are interested in a bag as a gift for a friend place your orders soon.
Oh how I wish I could knit just so I could own one of these beauties! You are truly amazing Cindy!!
Give Nina some head scratchies from the gang here.

Never fear Miss Cindy you could never lose Mom…she is kind of crafty and just loves the variety of crafts you are doing. OH speaking of crafts Mom keeps a zip lock bag full of nip and rotates my smaller toys in and out of it. She gave me my freshly nipped mousie that you sent me….oh I’m in nip heaven.
Hugs and nose taps to Nina and tell her her BFFF says Hi

Hi Cindy…Coming over from the BLCS. I’m looking forward to September’s project.
Love your project bags! The one with the Maneki Neko is my favourite.
Also the one with the fox 🙂 You are so good at embroidery and sewing.

As the recipient of one of Cindy’s first knitting bags…and several others since, I can say that they are great! I actually stole one of my daughter’s clutches for a small knitting project because my clutch has a needlepoint project in it.
Also, last week on my way out the door with tea in tow, the cup fell and spilled all over one of my bags. I am happy to say that first, it protected my project completely and secondly, washed up nicely and still looks brand new…love, Love, LOVE my bags!
You have a lot of talent!!
Your friends,
Murphy & Stanley

Mommy loves these!! She wants one so bad. They are beautiful, she loves crafts but has been slacking off lately. Maybe this will light a fire under her.

How did I miss you had an etsy shop! Thanks for mentioning. I am off to check it out. 🙂
So glad they are selling well for you! Luv the Crafty Chick embroidery. What a smile maker!
My Mom just LUVS the special tote you made for her. She has it all organized now for her quilting classes/events. Says she gets so many compliments on it and she’s just thrilled she can find what she needs quickly rather than rummaging like she use to 🙂
Something tells me you’re gonna be slammed with holiday gift projects. That’s a good thing I’m thinking 😀
Hugs,
The Roo Mom
You is most talented, our mom is not. Happy Labor Day!
