All Hot/Cold Packs are on sale at 50% off!

327 Asian Lilac: Mini Pack, Standard Pack

WHY THESE PACKS ARE BETTER

If you're not familiar with my cotton based Hot/Cold Packs, let me tell you about them. My special blend is made with rice, flax seed, lavender flowers, and peppermint leaves—and they smell wonderful! (If you are fragrance-sensitive, they can be ordered scent-free.) You can put them in the microwave for instant heat, or place them in the freezer for cooling relief. Use them again and again and again.  As long as you take care of them, (Don't get them wet. Store them in Ziploc bags or the freezer.) they will last many years of continual use. Long-time customers have said they are the best packs they've found anywhere. The other unique feature of my packs is you will not find such a wide variety of Hot/Cold Pack sizes or selection of prints anywhere else.

Heart Sachets SALE 2013

THIS SALE HAS ENDED.

 327 Asian Lilac

Whenever I make a new item, I always try it out on my sister and friends first, to see what they think.  While recovering from a severe upper respiratory infection this past December, I made a large batch of heart sachets and sent them off as holiday gifts.  They were a big hit with everyone. 

If you've ever experienced my Ornament/Package Toppers, or my Hot/Cold Packs, you are familiar with the delightful scent of my special blend of lavender flowers and peppermint leaves.  The Heart Sachets have arrived just in time for Valentine's Day, or plan ahead for Mother's Day.

Below are the Heart Sachet Prints currently in stock and ready to stuff and ship.  Small Hearts contain three tablespoons of my special sachet blend and the Large Hearts contain seven tablespoons of sachet blend.

My Friend, Julienne Dallara & BraunAbility Vans

I'll never forget that phone call I received almost 16 years ago. "Julienne's in the hospital. She's paralyzed." My beautiful, charismatic, totally funny, actress friend who started a volunteer massage program for AIDS patients couldn't move her legs. And for quite a bit of the next year, I was her ride. I was the one who helped take her wheelchair apart, put it in the trunk of my car so she could get to her physical therapy appointments. It was also the start of my sewing custom bags for her that she could hang on the back of her wheelchairs.

This weekend is the ABILITIES EXPO at the Los Angeles Convention Center, 1201 S. Figueroa St. Admission is free. On Friday, there was an article and video on Julienne in The Daily News about how a BraunAbility van changed her life. Julienne works for Ability Center, selling wheelchair accessible vans to people like her who want more mobility and independence in their lives.

New Items: Body Pack & Neck Wrap Pack 2011 SALE

THIS SALE HAS ENDED.

I hope you and your family are having a memorable holiday season. This past year I've had many pressing responsibilities that have taken me away from my sewing machine, which is why I only had one sale before the holidays in 2011. What little sewing I did this year consisted of the Asian Silk Cosmetic Bags, a few holiday orders and small gifts to close friends for Christmas.

I have a dear friend who loves my Hot/Cold Packs, but she was wanting a pack that covered her upper back and shoulders at the same time. She was using two of the regular packs but was looking for a single pack that would meet her needs.

Below are two new Hot/Cold Packs that have been added to the line.

325 Diagonal Gold
Body Pack (16" x 28") ~ Neck Wrap Pack (4.5" x 28")

On the left is the Body Pack and the right is the Neck Wrap Pack. The Body Pack is whopping 16" x 28" and weighs in at over four pounds of my special herbs and seed blend. The Neck Wrap Pack is 4.5" x 28" and weighs over one pound and ten ounces. These packs can be heated in the microwave for instant soothing heat or kept in the freezer for a quick cool-down wrap. And best of all, they can be used over and over again. As long as you take care of them, (Don't get them wet. Store them in Ziploc bags or the freezer.) they will last many years of continual use. You will not find such a wide variety of Hot/Cold Pack sizes or selection of prints anywhere else. CLICK HERE to see Betsy Ross Linens entire selection of over 160 different cotton prints.

2011 Tapestry & Asian Silks Cosmetic Bag Sale

Tapestry & Asian Silk Cosmetic Bags, Small Size

Surprise, surprise! I've finally finished the cosmetic bags I originally started in December last year. Back then I dug through my attic storage for some new and old Asian Silks and new Tapestry prints to make a nice inventory of cosmetic bags. I got about half-finished when I had to put all sewing on the back burner for quite a while to help Mr. Sprocket with his business (writing proposals and eventually contracts). When I had a short break from those real life responsibilities, I couldn't pass up the opportunity to cover the James Fayed murder-for-hire trial as well as keep up with all the pretrial hearings in the Stephanie Lazarus case that's due to start October 16th this year. Since I'm back to sewing on a more regular basis (at least until the Lazarus trial starts), I hope to have a few more sales up on the blog (Market Bags, Ornament/Package Toppers) within the next few weeks.

2011 COSMETIC BAG SALE

Back in the mid to late 90's, I made tapestry cosmetic bags on a regular basis. A few years later I started making them out of lighter-weight fabrics. I tried making them out of cotton but they could not hold up to the wear and tear like the tapestry and silk fabrics can. The last time I made the Asian silk cosmetic bags was almost four years ago.

X-Large (approximately 9"x7") Reg. $22.00;
On Sale for only $17.00
Large (approximately 8"x6") Reg. $18.00; On Sale for only $13.00

ASIAN SILK COSMETIC BAGS

These Asian silks are imported from China and are made from a blend of silk and rayon. The fabric comes on a roll and is only 30" wide. They are not the imitation, lightweight polyester fabrics you will find in chain stores like Jo Ann's. With this batch of bags, I've made four sizes. Extra-Large, Large, Small and Coin. They are lined in vinyl and have a ribbon pull on the zipper. There are also a few odd-sized bags available made out of end scraps. You can upgrade the ribbon pulls to a tassel pull for $1.00 each.

Slow Progress on Cosmetic Bags

Asian Silk, Tapestry & Upholstery Cosmetic Bags





You can see from the photo that I have six different Asian Silks and four tapestry fabrics ready to be sewn into my signature line cosmetic bags. I've been so busy with real life responsibilities, (helping with my husband's business) that I haven't made much progress on finishing them. Another problem that delayed the project were the zippers. They finally arrived yesterday.

On Tuesday, I took a break from sewing and attended a hearing in the Phil Spector civil suit against his former attorney, Robert Shapiro. I hope to get my notes up on that hearing either later today or tomorrow on Trials & Tribulations.

On top of that, I've been trying to get some personal sewing finished so my own Christmas gifts will go out on time. I still don't know if I will get every one's present in the mail and delivered yet.

I'll take photos through the construction of the cosmetic bags and put those up in an entry when they're completed.

2010 Kitty & Doggie Mat Beds Sale!

The introduction of my Kitty Mat Beds was a big success last year, so I've put them on sale again this year. The Mat Beds are made from three layers of fleece and one layer of flannel print. Your pet (as well as your furniture) will appreciate these machine washable mat beds. You can choose a flannel mat bed print from most of the prints in my Flannel Collection. Flannel prints with the designation "BO" are for throw blankets only.

Regularly, my (16" x 19") kitty mat beds sell for $14.00 each. Today, they are now on sale for only $10.50! That's 25% off the regular price, and shipping is free! The medium-size mat bed (19" x 24") regularly sells for $19.00. Today, they are on sale for only $14.50 with free shipping!

This Sale Ends January 31st, 2011.

PRINT FLEECE

In my last entry on new fabrics, I mentioned picking up this cute gray and orange kitty fleece print. I made a throw blanket, matching neck scarf and the two kitty mat beds below. These beds are three layers of fleece, no flannel and are a little larger than the standard size Kitty Mat Bed. These beds would be big enough for two medium sized kitties who like to nap together.

Gray & Orange Kitties

Doggie Mat Beds

Since doggies come in a variety of sizes, it's difficult to make a mat bed that would work for every dog. My medium-sized mat bed (19"x 24") will work for many small dogs. Larger sizes are by special order. E-mail me your needs and I will quote you a price. Shipping on all mat beds during the sale is free.

New Fabrics & Miscellaneous Items

On "Black Friday" I hit three different Jo Ann Fabric stores and scored some prints for my cotton, flannel and fleece collections.

FLANNEL

Here are two prints for the flannel collection. I had been looking for this particular pink ribbon print ever since I ran out of it last year. I found enough to make a single blanket. There is enough of the snowman print to make a blanket and several Christmas stockings. The Fleece & Flannel Blanket and Christmas Stocking Sale ends December 15th.

669BO Pink Ribbon 2



689B1S Snowmen on Red




COTTON

Here is another Debbie Mumm print that can be used in just about any direction for Market Line Bags or Hot/Cold Packs. The Hot/Cold Pack Sale ends December 31st, 2010.

427 Kitty Treats & Toys

FLEECE

This is one of my favorite prints from Debbie Mumm. I couldn't find the fleece last year but found a small piece of the fleece this year, enough for one blanket. I still have several yards of the matching cotton print but I sold out of the matching flannel last year. The Fleece & Panne Blanket Sale is on through January 31st, 2011.

704 Kitties Chasing Mice
(1 available: $29.00)




FINISHED FLEECE & PANNE BLANKETS

This is another print that I picked up during my marathon shopping days. I saw a woman in the cutting line with this fleece print but she had purchased the last of it at that store. I found the print at another store and bought enough to make a blanket, neck scarf and several kitty mat beds. The blanket and neck scarf are finished with Gun Metal panne. Kitty & Doggie Mat Beds go on sale later today.

Gray & Orange Kitties
(1 available: 45" x 59" $29.00 + S&H)



Gray & Orange Kitties Neck Scarf
(1 Available: 9" x 50" $9.50 + S&H)

These two panne prints are the last ones available. I was clearing out my scrap panne box and found I had just enough of these prints to make throw blankets. The Fleece & Panne Throw Blanket Sale will end January 31st, 2011.

Burgundy Tie Dye
(1 available: 45" x 59" $29.00 + S&H)



Blue Snakeskin
(1 available: 45" x 59" $29.00 + S&H)
