Piano Key Purse - Special Order

Here is another style of fabric for this purse. This was a special order by someone who is a collector of everything John Deere. I gave it to her today and it was a big hit. I personally think the little tractor button was the perfect touch for it, don't you?

If I can find the fabric for it, I can make it. If you're a big fan of a sports team of any kind, I can make you a purse for that team. This purse can take on many looks just by changing the fabrics.

I will have another one to show soon and it will be available for sale. It's just a color pattern I have in mind and hasn't been ordered. So, check back in another day or two and it will be available.

Cell Phone Carrier

This neat little case is good for many things, but I decided this one would hold my cell phone. It's such a great size. I own a Motorola Zine (ZN5) and it holds it perfectly. Compliments of various stores, it's official. This little bag can hold any phone that's available on the market right now.

This case is fully lined and quilted for extra protection. The flap uses Velcro to keep it closed and has a strap with a clip on it to allow you to loop it around anything. I have mine around the handle of my purse, but it can easily go around a belt loop on those days you don't want to carry a purse. Change the colors and fabric and it's good for a man or a woman, though I have been told these little bags are a "female thing." *grin*

As with all of my crafts, this is made with 100% cotton and top of the line fabrics. I can make you a little bag for your phone for only $15. Contact me with any questions you might have and I can begin to make you your own little cell phone bag.

Single Bookbag

These little bags are great! They're just big enough to hold a single paperback book and a few other small items. A few ideas might be your sunglasses, lip balm, and sunscreen for lounging by the pool. Being made out of 100% cotton, you can throw them in the wash if they get dirty. What's better than that? How about a price of $10 and the ability to have them made out of any fabric you want? You'd know that you had the only bag of its kind.

As you can see in these pictures, the bags can be either wide or tall. It's your choice.

As with all of my crafts, these are made with top of the line fabric.

All of my purses are on a special order basis. That way, you can be sure you'll get the color and orientation that YOU want. That is what is most important to me. Need one for a gift? Great! I can do that for you as well.

Just drop me an email if I can help you in any way.

Piano Key Purse

The top of these beautiful purses reminds me of the borders on quilts known as "piano keys." I enjoy playing with my fabrics and finding the perfect combination of colors and textures to make a beautiful purse. These purses measure approximately 14" x 15". They're a wonderful size for the typical woman who wants to carry around something a little different and yet will hold everything she needs it to.

These purses are quilted, fully lined, and have a button down flap to keep it closed.

Here are two that I have already made. These are available via special order only right now.




















Both of these purses are already promised to other people. However, this gives you an excellent idea of how they look finished and in two completely different color schemes.

I currently have orders for three more purses and I'll be sure to post them as they're finished so you can see how these purses look in other fabrics.

Each purse is made as it's ordered with special fabrics selected for each purse. I prefer to work with top of the line fabrics as long as I can find them in the colors and patterns I need. Each purse costs $45.

Feel free to contact me if you'd be interested in having one made: craftsbyerin(at)gmail(dot)com

Welcome to Crafts by Erin

Welcome! I want to thank you for stopping by. This is my pre-website until I can get my store up and running. Here, you can get a preview of the items I will be selling and contact me if you'd like.

I specialize in all kinds of random crafts. As time goes on, I'll make something I wish to sell or will take special orders on.

As a quick preview of me, I'm a stay-at-home mom who, like any other mom, would like to make a little money on the side. I happen to have a knack for crafts that involve fabric, color, and a sewing machine. I am a proud Army Wife and mother of 3 boys. Needless to say, life can get very busy around here. However, I'm happiest when my family is around me and I'm sewing away on a new project. I'm also blessed to have a husband who understands my desire to remain home for our children and supports me in my decision. So, to fill my time, I enjoy crafting and sharing that talent with others.

Without further ado, let me show you my latest projects I have available.
