Classic Canvas Purse

I have been dreaming of making these beauties for a few years now.  My first attempt made me realize I need a binding tool.  However, now that I have a custom made tool, I have realized it is easier just to bind it by hand.... so much for that!  These are definitely not the easiest bags for me to make... but I love them.

Modern Tote

I didn't realize it at the time, but if I dont find more of that beautiful bison leather that is on the base of this bag... this may just be the last one like this.  I haven't been able to find anything quite like it.

Spring is here! Finally!

I have been working on a couple of new designs, which will be available this spring at the Vineyard Church Spring Sale here in Winnipeg, May 31.  This lightweight waxed canvas bag and a lightweight market tote ( available in brown and grey) will be part of my collection, as well as a variety of all my other canvas designs.  

New Waxed Canvas Purse

Here it is my newest design, just in time for Christmas.  My large waxed canvas tote/carry all was so popular at the festival this summer, I decided I needed to have a smaller version of it.  This beautiful little purse will sell for $120.

Waxed Canvas Tote

Here it is! Everything you could ask for in a bag.  Who would have thought that this brown waxed canvas would look so fab. with the mixed matched colored leather straps and base.  I originally designed this carry-all as a diaper bag, however... it is just the perfect everyday,  everyway bag.   The base is a distressed leather, the straps are hand dyed veg-tan leather.  If you're interested in one of these beauties please check out my Etsy shop, Snootsie.  I should have some made and posted in my shop this October.

Challenges!!

I was so excited about my new canvas bags and backpacks I was planning on putting together in this last month of prep for the festival.  Things started to get complicated when I started to run out of the trim leather...  Can't seem to find it in town anymore...  So I am on the hunt and these beautiful bags are going to have to wait.  Hopefully I can still get them together before summers end.
