I have my bag-making head on at the moment.
Shopping bags, tote bags,
foldable bags in their own little pouches,
but today I made my favourite bag.
It's my favourite because it's MINE!
I just love this Globaltex fabric,
but the bags on my blogshop are
aren't suitable for me (as much as I like them)
I needed a bag that is comfortable to wear
across my body rather than on my shoulder.
I've many shoulder bags I'm no longer able to use,
most of them are lovely, some have lots of buttons
(which I adore) but my poorly neck/upper back
means I can't use them.
Hence the need to design a bag that is both
functional and scrumptious.
And this is it!!!!
Very roomy, not too heavy,
wide comfy strap, that's adjustable.
And 6 pockets inside !!!!!!!
Room enough for the most avid junk collector *blush*
It will have it's first outing on Thursday.
TBH, I have already made 2 prototypes,
one I've already trialed, and one
for a friend to trial. Both have done good.
So I've stepped up the mark,
redesigned a few bits,
And added Pompoms.
Pompoms are my new love,
almost as good as buttons.
Now I'm off to make another, for the blogshop.
Oh, and this little beauty I made 2 weeks ago.
Well, not quite so little beauty,
it's actually quite a large tote.
I love the way the gingham bow turned out.
But this one is for selling, not for me.
Love and blessings in Christ

i just ADORE your new bag, love all of the trimmings and buttons. I have the same problem as you and really need a bag i can wear over my body. Please let me know when you put one like this in your shop :-)
Love those bags!! Love making bags too, it's nice to be able to choose your own fabric, and adapt it to your own use with pockets, straps,keyring holders, and pretty touches!
Like the new blog surround! Great minds think alike, I had this one once too!!
Have a great weekend

I LOVE IT! The pom trim is just scrumptious, too...what a cute design...really makes me wish I had a sewing maching of my own. You have some smashing talent, Elaine!
