Jessica's Bag

This is a nice size bag - custom colors for a friend I have known for almost a decade! She wanted something with a lot of pockets and was durable - and this is what I made for her! There are 3 pockets on one side of the bag and a zipper pocket on the other side. On the strap is another pocket for a cell phone...so you will never lose it again! HA - right...

Laptop Case

I was asked to make a special order for a friend who needed a laptop sleeve. So with her measurements I created these two bags. The larger one if for the laptop and the smaller one is for...well anything! I used seat belt material for the handles and they both are lined with a thick lining for the protection of the laptop, though you would still need a hard case to fully protect it these cases still stop scratches and small bumps. I have added a magnet snap for the closure and a fun solid stripe on the front of the bag to break up the pattern.

Polka Dot Clasp

Yeah I finally figured out how to create this cute little clasp bag! Making the pattern was difficult but now...easy as making a pie!

Diaper Bag On The GO!

I created this for a lady on etsy.com who needed a Diaper Bag On The GO. I am very excited to mail this to her!

Travel Bags

These are great little bags to pack and and toss in any travel bag. The larger bag is 9 inches wide and the smaller one is 7 inches wide. Both are 6 inches tall.
Both zippers used are zips made in the 50's vintage.
I added a loop on the edges for easy to grab, made from a seat belt.

Patchwork purse

Here is another fun bag I created. I was having so much fun mixing and matching it was hard to stop!

Patchwork purse

I created this tote a bit larger then the other ones because I loved the fabric so much. I used the same pellon interfacing for the body of the bag that gives it some cushion, and a stronger interfacing in the handles.
For adornments, I added the fun button on the front.

This is a fun patch work handbag for those little outings. Take this out to show all your girlfriends over a cup of tea or coffee...though I prefer tea. No matter, the bag is lined with cotton and a pellon fleece was used for the interfacing. I double interfaced the handles which give it a strong yet comfy handles.

Flower Travel Bag

A little travel bag is all you need to pop in your make-up for the weekend and then there you have it! Everything is with you! I put a small loop on the bag made out of seat belt material to grab it easily. The is medium weight interfacing for structure and stability. Linen was used for the lining. And again the zipper is a vintage zipper from the 1950's.

Mary Poppin's Tote

Who says you can't have a bag that is chic and like Mary Poppins? Well looks like today I have proven them wrong! I love this bag, I created this bag out of out upholstery fabric which I found, and lined it with linen. The button on the front is a vintage 1940's deep red-two hole button. Inside there is a single zipper pocket. The zipper is also from a vintage collection, this time I think it is from the 1950's.
This is a great size, not too big and not to small. Just right!

Travel Bag

Ahh yes, summer is coming! To bring in the summer months, I created a summer travel bag for either make-up or even those baby wipes! I have lined this with a heavy interfacing so it has some puff to it. This zipper was from a stash of zips from the 40's...so there is a touch of vintage in this tote!

Clutch Me!

This is a cute little spring clutch I made from Amy Butler Fabric. It is lined with stiff interfacing to give it shape. As you can see there is a magnetic snap for the closure.

Evening clutch

Made out a a thick wool material, this is a great summer or winter clutch. Small enough for those fun night outs, or even for a day of shopping! The pink zipper pocket was up-cycled from the 1960's a garment I found at Goodwill (works perfectly!), and the blue button on the front is from the 1940's made in Ireland.

Solid Messenger bag

I created this navy blue bag for a friend who needed one for her friend. Ahhh... sharing it is nice. The exterior material is a thicker cotton for durability. Inside has 2 pockets and 1 zipper pocket. (A new trick I learned) Velcro was used to close the bag.

Silky Duvet

A friend asked me if I could make her a duvet for her bedroom...how could I say no?
I took this brocade material and sewed 3 panels, due to the width I needed to! So to finish off the top portion I sewed organza gold ribbon over the seems to camouflage them. The top of the duvet was fashioned like an envelope and to close it I sewed 5 jewel toned buttons on duvet. Once I get a full picture of the duvet I will upload it.

Oh the love of scraps

For anyone who has been following my blogs, this is the same material I used to create a cute baby blanket. I had about 8x8 inches left over and I didn't want to toss the fabric, so I created this cute make-up bag...for my mom. I was HIGHLY disgusted when I saw her take out a gross looking ZIPLOCK BAG from her bag (yes I made her a bag). I told her she was a disgrace to the sewing community! After some chuckles, I spent 20 mins and whipped this out for her and made her toss that disgusting bad for the environment plastic baggy.

I think I will make some more...

Ahh...quilt warm warm

OMGosh! I loved this material, and the sec I saw it, I knew Con-con had to have it. For those who don't know, my son LOVES football. He is crazy-nuts for it. (He is my husband's son) I started this about a year ago and then tried to pawn it off on my sis...well needless to say I ended up finishing what I started. And Conman loves it!

Here is a great Hobo bag which I created out of a thick twill. There is a magnetic snap for the closure and a decorative lace button which was made back in the 1940's in Holland on the front. The inner pocket zipper was from the 60's. So I guess you can say...upcycle!

Snappity-snap!

A bag from a curtain? Why yes it can be done! On the front of the bag I placed a vintage button from the 50's and the green inner zipper pocket was created from a 1940's zipper. Yep reuse, and recycle! So as you can see there is a zipper pocket on one side of the bag and 3 pockets on the opposite side. the sturdy strap echo's the lining of the bag. There is also a magnetic snap to close to bag.

Special Order

This is a fun casual handbag which can be used if you are wearing either black or brown. The lining has fun traveling destinations on the print. The bottom panel is removable which can either keep the bag sitting or if you remove it, the bag will be more like a tote. There are 3 pockets on the inside, and one zipper pocket on the opposite side of the bag. On the front of the handbag is a 1960's vintage button and grosgrain brown ribbon. There is a long strap so the bag fit nicely under your arm when also carrying a ton of stuff.
