My first wholesale order. It went something like this:

A lovely Etsy seller emailed me, asking about my dpn wallets for her sock yarn club. 50 of them. Weeee!!! We talked prices and she said she'd get back to me when she was ready to order. Fast forward a few months and she asked for fabric samples. I emailed pictures of several and she picked one. I ordered the fabric and waited. (This is the boring part, it gets more exciting. Really.)

The fabric finally arrived (it involved an eBay seller because the main design was back-ordered through my wholesaler). I asked for payment before I cut into 8 yards of fabric and 1 yard of batting. Payment received. Danced around the room when the money hit my PayPal account. *ahem*

All the pieces cut, interfacing, and with snaps attached, ready for sewing. (That's a completed one on the left and 12 yards of handmade yellow bias tape on the right.)

Bias tape sewn to the edges and the squares attached to the main piece.

Batting and back sewn. Ready for the seams to be trimmed and turned:

On to ironing them flat.

Pretending to be cool with an artsy angle. Note: Blue Kitty Designs runs on Mountain Dew and funny cat pictures.

The last sewn seam of the last wallet. Woohoo!

All counted and neatly tied with ribbon for shipment.

The End. :)
