New Bags..

Well I have survived the first week back to school and the early mornings and I am enjoying the extra time it is giving me to get some sewing done. Once Lexie starts full time I will be able to dedicate a day or two just to sewing...WOOT!

As for my bag making I have been having issues with the plastic sheeting and my machine grrr....so I have started making my Funky Eco bags minus the plastic sheeting. I actually think I prefer them like this. I use a stiff interfacing to give the bag body and shape and I am more than happy with the overall look of them.

I also made up some market style cross body bags that I am in love with. I made some up using calico and scrap fabric which I altered a few times until I was happy with the size, shape etc. Once happy with my creation I made some more in different fabrics and added a clasp and some fancy stitching to the strap for detail. These bags are so comfy and great for those times you need both hands free to do other things.


First Funky Market bags, made with calico.





These Funky Market bags have been made with contrasting fabrics and I have added a clasp. I have already sold the black and white one (o:
