Jackets, Girlies, and iPads

Our latest news is that Green Envy Girls has been accepted into The Girlie Show!  We are so super excited and of course we are working daily building our inventory.  We have The Plaza Festival October 1 and The Girlie Show November 4 and 5. 

Green Envy Girls moved last month from the cellar to a room inside Maggie's house on the second floor!  The cellar was too hot to work during our record breaking 100 + temperatures.  We've thrown everything upstairs and started to work.  We've had hardly any time to organize and with our two shows coming up, it looks like a fabric factory exploded.  But we are happy.  We'll clean when it slows down.

With all that's going on, we've been working on a masculine iPad pouch.  I found an awesome men's jacket at a thrift store.  I loved it so much that I made my husband try it on before I cut into it to make sure he didn't want to wear it.  Of course, he didn't like it.  Yea! 



I did some measurements for the iPad and cut away making sure to get the awesome pockets.

The fabric is a heavy duty khaki so I wanted to make sure and line it with something super soft that would make the iPad happy. 


This was fairly simple to assemble and sew.  And I think it's looks fabulous!  I would totally carry my iPad around in this pouch.  I love that we utilized the pockets so that a person can carry their phone and any notebooks, pens, etc with them without having to carry anything else.  I made sure to make a latch on the top with a magnetic snap and a vintage blazer button.
