i have been sewing and sewing and sewing (and cutting and cutting and cutting and ironing and ironing and ironing...

and i just finished updating the shop! i did not complete nearly as many new bags and things as i had hoped, but there will be more! very soon! but right now there are about forty new roundy-bottomed tough ruffles zipper purses and seven new clutches. bigger bags coming soon!

madebyhank.etsy.com

i know that quite a few of you have been waiting patiently for new madebyhanks, and i apologize that my shop has been completely empty for the past few days or so. i have been sewing and cutting in batches, and am very hard at work to make sure you are able to purchase something in time for the holidays.

i do not want to compromise the quality for quantity, so i am very grateful for everyone's patience and understanding. this is madebyhank's first holiday season, so i still have a whole lot of figuring out to do. hopefully i will learn to accept help at some point. i am so terribly picky when it comes to delegating even the very smallest tasks, because i need to know that every single thing is done exactly how i would do it. i did show manny how to make the tags, which, small as that may seem, every little bit is a serious help.

oh, and if you are in philadelphia, please stop by the mew gallery this saturday, from 5-9 pm. a new set of my sewn drawings will be on display, along with the work of james ulmer and kathryn moran.

thanks for the shop update! =) love all the new items. i think your attention to detail is what might be making this such a success (or from what it appears).

i'm back for a third time, via your etsy shop, and will be back many more. definitely don't 'compromise the quality'; everything is fabulous as it is.

so happy to have found your shop & found a goodie while there was some stock. thanks for posting some early!!!

enjoy the holiday and take a break for yourself.

Purple my favorite color! Love the third clutch design the two contrasting purples work really well together :-)

Opps I meant the fourth clutch bag, even though the third clutch bag is still fabulous!

my grandma's favorite color is PURPLE so one of your clutches will be a great gift!

These are beautiful! I love purple right now. Sometimes we do need to admit we need some help. Hang in there!

oh my gosh! the little clutches went so fast and in just a single day! I didn't buy one .. cause I'm holding out for a bigger bag. Hmm, but I see I'm going to have to be on the ball to snap one up before everyone else ...

These are great! Purple is my all time favorite color--I have loved it since I was 5 years old collecting purple milk caps.
