Prairie girl goes to the big city.

I love it when I get a custom order that I was already intending to make. I don't do very many solid black bags, but this is one that I will probably be making more of. What a beautiful bag.

The most beautiful bag....

I know I say this nearly every time, but this time I mean it. I love this bag so much, I don't know how I am going to part with it. If only this leather was easier to find. I guess I'll just admire it while it is in my presence. I'm pretty happy with this pattern too, it may just replace the Hobo Bag that I have been making from the beginning.

Inspiration.

Just got back from a trip to Vancouver, refreshed by beautiful people and landscapes. Now time for a little creativity. Lots of western clutches to make. This Rust leather is some of my favorite leather I have ever found. Might be able to get another large purse out of it, but for now clutches.

Bike Bag-o-rama

Phew! what an accomplishment. Sewing machine break down, Postal Strike, and I finished them all before my deadline to take them to Vancouver with me. hm... I could still make a couple more bags before I leave.

Muffin hates it when I sew.

Gettin' a little crazy!

After a week of stressing out and waiting for a repair man to fix my machine, I was happy to finish the next batch of bike bags. I was mostly excited to get to this one. I'm very happy with the way it turned out, and wish I would have ordered more blue canvas. Vancouver is creeping up and I was hoping to bring 5 bags with me, if they don't sell withing the next couple of weeks...

This bag couldn't have turned out better. Someone better buy it soon before I keep it for myself. I love the brown and black combo, it is so rich and elegant looking. I'm thinking of making it in blue, since I have all this blue leather that has been sitting around. I feel like I have been re energized these day. I have so many bags I want to get going on.
