New Spring Totes!

I know with all of this snow its a little hard thinking about spring. But maybe its the perfect time to think about spring! Here is a sneak preview of my latest totes! Three color panels make it more fun for me to work my color magic. More stitch work makes it a more durable design...eco felt rends to pil after a while...so these only have small pieces of felt. Interiors are "parties" going on in the inside with two contrasting fabrics. More pockets!!! Tow exterior flab packets; tow interior pockets: one large zipper pocket the other a convenient accessory pocket. Shoulder straps...and large enough for a sketchbook, a thermos &/or water bottle and your other personal items. I think these may be my favorite bags yet!

12hrs of Bag Making

I had such a great day..12 hours in my sweatshop making totes and messenger bags...shoulder strap bags, small little girl totes, cocktail totes, regular totes..all felt applique...all birdie bird! Getting ready for crafty bastards and squid fire in Philadelphia! much more to follow this week! Here is a sneak preview of what I made today!

New Bags

Sorry I haven't posted in a bit. I've been working pretty hard on new stuff as well as getting caught up with school stuff...come on students teacher! In getting ready for the new spring season, I needed to look over my past inventory and figure out what sold, what i liked making and what I really needed to get rid of. You've notice decline of the apron...I just couldn't make one more....clutches and patches will stay along with zipper pouches and eyeglass cases. I've really enjoyed making these pleated bags from Karl Parks pattern and have found a new felt source form England that I like a hundreds times better. Course that raises the pries a hair, but the quality is hundred times better. I've been also trying to find new canvas that is color and water resistant..also a bit more out of the wallet but I think quite worth it. Here is my sampling of the new items. Let e know what you think. They will all be coming with me to Delaware tomorrow night for their debut!
