Out and About Bag and Another Skull Necessary Wallet






I completed another couple of orders and finally feel like I am getting under control (hopefully not for long). 

The first bag is a bag from Pattern Play Designs called the Out and About Bag.  This is a comfortable cross body bag.  At the Community Fair, I sold one to a young woman.  Later, her mother decided she wanted one, too.  She liked the fabric that her daughter's bag was made from and asked that I use that for the lining.  She wanted a darker bag for herself and she picked out a grey and black pattern with black trim.

Here is a picture of her daughter's bag...


 
 
 
 
And this is her bag with this same fabric as her bag lining....
 






 
 
I also got a call from the customer that ordered the Necessary Wallet by Emmaline Bags in the skull fabric who said her friend loved it and wanted one like it.  At this point, I have only made one of a kind bags.  I made them both agree that they didn't mind having matching wallets.  I needed their permission before I would make it.  They agreed so here is that wallet.  They are a little different.  The front of the bag has a different view of the print on the fabric and I used a solid red inside for the lining.  Now on to a pattern I have never used before.  I hope to show you that before the end of the week.

  1. Your work always looks so professional it's a treat to come over and take a look. Both bags are beautiful. I love the nice simple style, I love the fabric on the daughters bag, gorgeous. Love the wallet too. You would never guess it was hand made. Everything looks beautiful. Glad your managing to catch up, I wish I could say the same.

  2. Your bags and the wallet are all so professional looking. You did a beautiful job as always Marilyn. How nice it must be when people ask you to make them something because they liked what someone else purchased from you.
