A New Year with New Burlap Zipper Bags

Happy 2017! We are officially one day into the new year, and I'm looking forward to the start of a new season. I was lucky enough to have a week off of work so I used some of the open time to sew up three new large burlap zipper cases. I also had the chance to visit a few local fabric shops in the metro Detroit area, which was a real treat. I found a new cotton fabric mecca at Pink Castle Fabrics on the west side of Ann Arbor that carries Cotton+Steel branded fabric. I purchased a bundle to get started since I was so indecisive and wanted to buy it all. I can't wait to use these new patterns as accent fabrics for our new bags in 2017!

I usually write up a year-end review post about Lina and Vi, but I opted to keep it short and simple this time around. Lina and Vi remains to be one of the important themes of my life right now, and I am happy to have had another year to spend time sewing and selling my creations. I am thankful that this journey has kept me going this long, and I am looking forward to another year in front of my sewing machine no matter what this new year brings. Sewing is a huge source of happiness, challenge, and fulfillment for me, and the fact that I can share it with others is priceless.

With that, I want to spend some time sharing the details on these three new burlap zipper cases that I sewed up last week. All of them are the larger sized zipper cases so they are perfect for cosmetics, travel toiletries, and general organization of health and beauty items. They each have a faux leather bottom, either creamy white or light brown, to provide durability and structure and a high-quality bronze metal zipper. Each of the interiors features unique colors and patterns, with a few lining fabrics selected for this set that are entirely new to the Grounds Collection. I love that each burlap bag is neutral on the outside and colorful on the inside. Although we sold out during the holidays, these three are ready to ship if you missed out on the December batch. You can browse more photos and the specs for these burlap zipper cases in our Etsy shop under the Burlap Zipper Pouch shop section.









I hope you are enjoying the end of the holiday season, and the start of the new year. Thank you for stopping by and showing your support!
