Crazy Blue Bike Bag

This is a custom bag made out of a vintage tarp, as bright as the prairie sky. The final decision on the "brand name", I choose to use my name, it seems to have a traditional/classic feel to it. I hope it works. I'm excited to get going an a new batch of bike bags soon.

Sometimes, things don't always work out the way I want them to. Sometimes, I lack patience and things take way longer to make than I thought they would. These are my prototypes, I still have a few little tweaks on this design. But I am happy to see they have come together nicely. When I ordered the canvas I thought the green I was getting was a army green, to my surprise it was not. I wasn't sure how I felt about it, but I am really happy with the final look, kinda resembles something of a hunting style bag.

What's coming next...

Fresh off the sewing machine.

This leather was irresistible, and I'm so excited to be able to make quite a few bags out of it. I had just enough time to get another bag together for Ain't Your Gramma's Craft Sale, and this is it. I would have liked to have made another reclaimed leather bag but I made all of my used material up for the Handmade Holiday sale, and most of all of them sold. Which is great. Well, off to pack my van for the sale tonight. I've got to admit, I am looking forward to taking a break from sewing for the next months or so. My day job has been really taxing on me this winter, so to not have to spend more working after I'm done 8 hours of work... But, I am looking forward to exploring bike bags again, this winter.

Dear Hannah

Thanks you for buying my bags. I always like brown and black together, it was a delight to get to custom make this bag. If I could do it again I would, and I would probably keep it for myself.

Here we are at the West End for Handmade Holiday. I'm happy with the turnout. I Enjoyed speaking with my return customers, and the customers that wished they would have gotten one of my bags at my previous sales, and had to come back to find me this year. One more sale to go, and a few more bags to make for it.

Just a week left for production. I am not getting half as many "special features" made, as I thought I could. But I am still going to pull off a few cool items. A dear friend of mine stumbled across these amazing old moneybags that I am converting into my own versions of a "money bag".
