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...

Vintage Inspired Satchel





































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.

Bike Bag Mania

















Finally! I have all the details worked out. This isn't my preferred type of canvas but I really like the color of it, and it will do the trick. Still searching for a variety of colored canvas. I've got 5 bags I need to start working on, hopefully this weekend.

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.

Saddle Bags.

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.
