Inked

This was a custom pairing and I had enough left for a second bag.

This is Alexander Henry's "Tattoo" print on black. The reverse is a textured wool blend in a beautiful lipstick red shade. The button is round black acrylic.



Due to the nature of the fabrics, this bag is dry clean only.




SOLD

Petals



This is another fabric from Anna Maria Horner's universally beloved Chocolate Lollipop collection, called "Billowy Petals". This is a large bag which fully reverses to a bright pink cotton.



The button is vintage acrylic from the 60's.

Harlequin Green

I really wish I would have purchased more of this fabric- it's absolutely beautiful in person and is the perfect weight for a bag. You know what they say about hindsight. I did manage to get three bags out of it, one I selfishly kept for myself. :)

Like here, one side is a chartreuse and espresso upholstery fabric. The reverse is an espresso cotton.




The large button is carved and vintage.

Insert knitty pun here :)

This is a large bag perfect for a knitting stash.

The fabric is from the Michael Miller line, called "Knit Pirates". The pattern consists of a skull and crossbones motif made from balls of yarn and crossed needles. Very clever!

This is hard to come by, and is constantly selling out. (I love it personally and want lengths in all three color combinations- aqua, sage and pink.)

(Note: The faceless model you've seen throughout this blog is my daughter Rhiannon...she's wonderfully patient and such a help to me with this business of modeling bags/accessories. Thanks, kid! )



The reverse is a heavy, deep espresso cotton with a phenomenal texture,



...and the vintage button is nacre (the sheen is lovely with the aqua shade in the fabric).



SOLD

Asian Tapestry

This is my personal fave...the pictures do not do this bag justice.

The fabrics are absolutely breathtaking and substantial- one side is a woven landscape tapestry, and the reverse is a sturdy cotton broadcloth.





The button is vintage- from the 1930's.



Due to fabrics, this bag is dry clean only.

SOLD

Cherries

I love how Malia's bag turned out- so I set to work locating a cherry print for a large size bag.

The small leaves on the 100% cotton cherry print paired perfectly with a vintage leaf-green ribbed cotton blend.





The button is vintage acrylic.

First of two...

...using fabric from Anna Maria Horner's extremely popular "Chocolate Lollipop" fabric collection. This is called "Nouveau Flowers and Scrolls".



This is a large bag, with the standard measurements.



As always, fully reversible. In this case, to a milk-chocolate cotton.




The large, metal button has an antique-look, but was a recent purchase that went perfectly with the fabric design.

Machine-washable.

Orange Plaid

I love the color orange- so it was a bittersweet experience parting with these fabrics, pardon the pun.

The is a large bag- the plaid is a poly blend with a metallic thread throughout, and the reverse is a rust-colored sturdy woven blend.

Vintage button, dry-cleaning strongly recommended.

Peacock

I am very fond of Alexander Henry fabrics....this one is called "Pavo", and I paired it with a pale pink lightweight denim and a vintage wooden button.


SOLD
















Black and white


This is a large bag. The black and white retro rose print I found at JoAnn's....the reverse is a plain black cotton.














I broke trend and used a new La Mode etched button- it went so well with the fabric.

Custom Knitting bag

This is my personal fave- Steph sent me this excellent Michael Miller fabric, it's called "Knitmare on Elm Street":



and I paired it with a gorgeous chartreuse and espresso upholstery fabric that I picked up at Fabric Depot. Vintage button, dry clean only.

I made one for myself as well, it's perfect for the 4 or 5 current knitting projects I have going on.

$60.00 plus shipping

Springtime

I had a lot of fun with this one...

My friend Michele sent me the Robert Kaufman floral (Mod Blossoms, from the Melrose collection), and it happened to work really well with the spring green poly. I added a stripe of the floral (it's even lovelier in person, and I wanted to use a bit more) on the reverse, as it perked up the green substantially. The pea-green button is vintage.

SOLD


Sole- African Lilies

This bag was made with some fabric that my friend Steph sent me- It's from the Sole Collection by Valori Wells, called African Lilies.

The reverse is an awesome, eye-popping pink cotton :D....as usual, the button is antique (and I was shocked as it matched the cinnamon-brown of the fabric *perfectly*) and acrylic. Lucky find, that.

SOLD
