A few new bags

January 20, 2009

Here are some bags I made over my vacation.  I wasn’t taking the best care in taking pictures (lazy me!), but you can get the gist of them.  They are upholstery weight fabric, and the handbags have silk for the pockets.  It is the same style of bag I usually make and they have pockets on the inside, too.  They are much prettier in person. 🙂

Birthday present for my sister…

My mom wanted one, too, sooo….

A gift for my aunt…

…and some Ipod cozies

Speaking of bags…  I am very excited about a new project I am working on.  I designed some fabric patterns for a gal that makes photography gear bags.  She wanted some exclusive fabric designs for her products, so I worked on a few damask designs and she bought two of them.  She liked my fun take on damask.  🙂  As soon as she gets them printed and on her bags I will let you all know!

Oh, and my local fabric warehouse had a moving sale.  Squeeeeeeee!!!!!  Unfortunately, since I didn’t want to brave the arctic weather last week all the silks and minkees were gone by yesterday.  Dang it.  I did, however, manage to fill two largish bags full of fabric, most at 70% off.  I need to start working on summer in the next few months so the girl isn’t naked, right?? 😉  I got some really fun prints and trimmings.  I can’t wait to get started!

PS…Sorry for being behind on stopping by my fellow bloggers.  I’ve been taking work home pretty much every night the last few weeks, stopping only to work on fabric designs.  I have two sets of auditors bothering me and then I get to start on pulling together information to send to our tax preparers.  This is a fun, fun, fun time of year, I tell ya.  April 15 can’t arrive fast enough! 🙁
