Front Bike Bag


First and only attempt at making my boyfriend's front bike bag. I only wish I had the proper machine that would have made finishing this bag easier. One year of prep for this bag, but we finally made it happen. If I didn't have any accomplishments this summer, I am sure glad that I made and finished this bag. Now time will tell if it will be able to withstand the nature of it's being.

Camera Shy


This wasn't the most successful photo shoot. The look on my face is the result of being ravaged by blood hungry mosquitoes, and having to restrain myself from itching all the bites so we could get the pics over with. Next time I wont be so keen to take the pics in a park. Thanks Kevin! Sorry it was so hard to get a smile out of me.

Pink or Red?

I say it's pink you say it's red...
I'm pretty sure I know what red is. I'm pretty sure that this is a shade of pink. It may be close to red, but it's more of a bright pink than a bright red, maybe muted red...?

Well I hope this customer is happy with this custom order. Thought I wouldn't mind doing a Rush order, but I am a bit worried about the red/pink thing.

Summer 2010


I think I will call this over sized bag The Holly Hobby. After a comment I received about how enormous the prototype was, I decided to downsize it by a few inches. This may be my most complex bag to date. I even decided to make new labels for this series.



TootenTote



This is a new design that turned out by surprise. A practical little pouch. This leather and textile combo actually took me by surprise. The leather was a score, buttery soft deer tan, and I think I have been holding on to the bark cloth for a while now. I'm so excited about using both of these materials, and ecstatic about the outcome.

The Classic


I wasn't too sure about this bag in the beginning. Really all I did was enlarge my mini purse design, and change the strapping. The color combo is a little strange, but I think it turned out to be quite a classy style. I have decided to make this in black, with brown strapping, it's gonna be so hot, I can't wait to get the leather.
