Going to Market

I wanted to say a BIG thank you to all of you who stopped by my booth at the Hollywood Farmers' Market on November 15th. The weather was beautiful, I met some great people and overall my sales were a success!!

I'm still plugging away working on new products for the holiday gift giving season so stay tuned for new posts. If you know you will be placing an order, please keep in mind that all orders need to be placed by December 17th in order to be ready by December 22nd when I leave town for the holidays.

Thanks again for stopping by! I hope all of you are enjoying this holiday season.

The leaves are changing...

It's officially Fall...time for fresh apple cider, pumpkin spice lattes and a more involved relationship with my sewing machine. When the weather was sunny & warm (a rare thing here in Portland) I found it very hard to be upstairs in my loft sewing studio. Now that the weather is brisk and the clouds are making Portland their home again, I enjoy making the trip up the stairs and sewing away! Which means...

New Bags, Pouches & Baby Items just in time for Fall!









Let me know what you think of the new styles and stay tuned for even more designs online. Be sure to be thinking of your holiday gift giving early as my schedule will get tight with custom orders and my own holiday shopping.

Enjoy!

Diaper Bags are in!

Here's an example of the diaper bag set that I gave to my neighbor for her baby shower. It includes a chic diaper bag (that can also pass for an everyday bag, BTW) and a coordinating changing pad that slips into the back exterior pocket. I also made coordinating bibs, booties and burp cloths which as a set makes a great gift.







If this ensemble looks like something you would be interested in, let me know your fabric color preferences and I can send you images of fabrics I have in stock.

new bag style!

My newest creation...


The Sassy Bag! I'm still trying to perfect the handle style because you'll see in the up-close detail it's not the best craftsmanship. But, I think it's very cute and I hope to expand some styles from this look. The fabric is my favorite, upholstery weight with a vintage-y feel.

I'm trying to gear myself up for some frantic sewing as the holidays will approach faster than we know it and I know there will be orders.

Bridal & Baby Boutique

I'm back after a long vacation/visiting family/semi-working-too-hard! Now I'm focused on getting things posted on my Etsy shop and creating new products. I will try to post more here as I create new goodies.

Now, on to new things....

My newest craze has been custom orders for bridesmaids or shower favors. Check out the range of fabrics & products:




cosmetic pouches with zipper closure silk clutch with snap closure

These make great gifts for bridesmaids, shower favors, or even a gift for you! I have been wanting one of these for myself, but I can't seem to make them fast enough.

Stay tooned for more creations & repurposed goods.

Welcome!

I hope you enjoy learning more about my handmade goodies! Weekly I will try to post details about new product launches and development. I would love suggestions of items you would like to see!

I've also been working on getting some of my handmade products in some local shops here in Portland, so stay tuned. Also, be on the look-out for http://www.jillmorrowdesigns.com/ to be launched soon.

With many baby arrivals coming to some of my dear friends & sister-in-laws you will probably see some little "arrivals" of my own. Here are some things that are in the works...
diaper bags


toys & plushies

baby necessities (bibs, blankets, burp cloths & more)


In addition to baby items, I will be creating even more handbag designs (including larger bags, more pockets and zippers as requested!).
Thanks again for visiting.

Enjoy!
