Custom Orders and NEW Products

Keeping up with the newest little and balancing my business has proven to be challenging, but I'm finally getting back on track and hope to start working more on my business this fall.

I am currently selling ready made items (lunch kits, list keepers, and diaper keepers) locally.  Grass Roots Eco Friendly Cleaners and Market is in Frisco at 121 and Custer Rd.  Keep up with Courtney (the owner) on facebook for some great sales and events.

Here is a bunch of custom orders from this summer as well as a sneak peak at NEW ITEMS that will be showing up in the shop come Monday morning.

My sister got married in June.  Her colors were orange and yellow.  I made 210 luggage tags to use as place cards on the tables at the reception and 30 crayon rolls for the kids at the reception.

The little neices and nephew got color coordinating bibs for the reception.  I made them using a children's button up shirt (to get the buttons and pocket for the boy) and then backed them with chenille.  Small for the baby and big for the toddlers.

 Becky got a orange silk purse to carry around.  Made from this pattern by Rae.

With 7 of us heading to the pool this summer, the pool bag got bigger and I was constantly needing to dig to the bottom to find the sunscreen....so  I figured I should be able to come up with a better solution....and I did!

This "Sunscreen Bag" is made of terry cloth on the outside and I added a orange ruffle for color.  

 The inside is also lined with orange and PLASTIC!  I love that I can just wipe it out when needed.

 Small 2" gusset at the bottom helps it stand up to fill and retrieve items from.  Plenty big for all our summer pool needs.

Also perfect for shampoo and soap when traveling!  That's how I'll be using it this fall and winter.

Had a wife custom request a gift for her hubby.  Travel kit for toiletries and a luggage tag out of BATMAN fabric that she sent to me!  How fun is that!  I had just enough for a small snack bag, so did that too.

 With 5 kids, we get invited to a lot of birthdays.  This is my go to girl gift right now:  A custom zippered pouch filled with fun girly things like gum, nail polish, chapstick/lipstick and silly string!  (the kid contributions)

 Custom order for two little boys I know turning 2 and 4.....Birthday Shirts!

Some snack bags for the birthday boys too.  New Blue Camo fabric and

 Curious George Firetruck fabric (to match the shirts).

Had a custom baby shower gift set that I made last month.  Red Sock Monkeys: Diaper Keeper, Burpie and Bib.  You will be able to purchase these in the shop now in several different fabrics.  Set will sell for $16.

Of course you can always get a diaper keeper by itself.  Now available in:

Red Sock Monkeys (I have light blue too)/Dark Brown

 Light Blue and Green Circles/light Denim

 Blue and Green Diamonds/pale Yellow

 Grey and Teal Flowers/Teal

I also have a bunch of new list keepers available:

Bird Cages/Teal

Cream Floral with Ruffle/Brown 

 Black,White,Red Diamonds/Red

 Flowers with Ruffle/Brown

 Grey Flowers with Ruffle/Teal

 Green Latice with Flower/Yellow

 I also have a few new lunch kit fabrics available:

Red Bandana/light denim

 Dinosaurs/Green

 Red Sock Monkeys/Brown

A BUSY summer and now I'm ready to move into the fall and winter.  With 4 at school now, I've got lots of plans for craft fairs, more local shopping and giveaways!   Stay tuned!!

Passport Pouch and Zippered Bags

Two New Items In the Shop!!!

Passport Pouches - Can be done in any of the fabrics on my site...but I did the first ones in FLAMES and FLOWER POWER.  Cost is $10

Zippered Pouch keeps your passport safe as you travel and has a clear front so that you make sure it is in there.  Back have pockets for itineraries, maps, plane tickets, ect.

These are perfect for your next trip abroad!

Zippered Pouches or Bags:

I made a ton of these to give away for Christmas presents this year and now you can get one too!

They are perfect for travel, keeping "collections" safe and secure, make up bags, organizing your big purse or diaper bag, ect.

They measure 5.5" tall, 8" wide at top (6" wide at bottom) and have a 2" gusset. 

Bags come unembellished and cost is $15...but the options are limitless!  Check them out!

Fundraiser

Calvary Lutheran School Paris Trip Fundraiser:

If you are local and one of the three churches that supports Calvary Lutheran School - This is for you!

During January and February, any purchases made by members of Atonement, Divine Peace and Calvary will have 10% of the sale in my etsy shop donated to the Paris Trip Fund.  This fund helps pay for the expenses that the kids have while they are traveling (hotels, meals, ect.)

The shop is full of new stuff and I'll be adding more items daily as I get pictures and information uploaded so check back often and get your orders in soon.  

Email your orders to theumbrellagirlshop@yahoo.com .  There is no shipping charges, and all orders will be delivered to the church or school when completed.

New Lunch Kits

Since my babies slept late this morning and I was up early...new stuff for you!

The goldfish bags have been updated in the shop and are both available.

I also had two new lunch kit patterns for the boys/men or tomboys!  Both are already available in my shop.

Pirates!

Black Dots on Gray!

The 6-8th graders at my girls school are going on a  spring trip to Paris.  I am doing a fund raiser for their school, so naturally, we needed some things that were Parisian!

Lunch Kits:

The Eiffel tower fabric just didn't show up well on the snack bags, so I went with the small dotted black fabric instead.  I lined everything with red, but it could be any color on the inside.

Luggage tags:

Here is a size comparison to the Classic Tags in the shop.  Because I wanted the whole Eiffel tower on the front, I had to increase the width just a bit and the tag is about an inch taller as well.

List Keeper:

So much fun to make and now I've got the itch to travel too! 

(Passport covers are done for them as well, I just didn't get good pictures yesterday....save those for tomorrow:)

Happy Weekend!

Custom Order and New Products

I am always so grateful to customers who have new ideas and have a vision that I can put into production.  So thank you to everyone who comes to me with your ideas.  I love the challenge:)

Recent request for a "Coupon Envelope".  Just like your basic white paper envelope, but sturdy and durable!

I love the way it turned out and I hope you like it too, Jennifer!

I loved the idea, but really had no use for it, and I like to make things in quantity that I enjoy using myself, so I set to work on a smaller version of the Coupon Envelope and developed the "Snappy Wallet".

It measures 3" x 5.25" and is the perfect size for holding business cards, all those holiday gift cards, even money.  So many uses!  

Inside, there is an extra pocket to help keep your wallet organized and to separate things.

The twill looped umbrella on the side easily attaches to your key ring as well.  Keeping all your items close at hand and harder to lose.  (I find it is harder to miss place my keys as well:)

Look for these to be in the shop next week...I have a few more I need to get made to provide more choice.

I am also making new goldfish bags!  

With 4 girls, I felt like it was time they had a more girly snack bag for their goldfish snacks!  Same as the orange and blue, just done with a pale pink and red dotted fabric.  These will be in the shop, probably tomorrow.  I just need to get the pictures uploaded.  But thought you might like the sneak peak tonight!

Have a great weekend!
