Yarn Bombers Knitting Bag

Yarn bombing, urban knitting and graffiti knitting are some of the names for this unusual, world wide activity, by knitters.


Knitters, in the past thought of as quiet, unassuming ladies, creating basket loads of scarves and sometimes itchy sweaters, have taken up graffiti practices.


They go out in the dead of knit night and target everything from trees to phone kiosks, covering the objects with knitted sleeves or cozies

e-cigarette travel case, The Vaper

I was asked, by a new customer, to create an unusual bag, an e-cigarette travel case. She was struggling to quit smoking and had begun using an e-cigarette. I discovered a whole new world while working on this case. The end result was The Vaper

The people who use these e-cigarettes call themselves vapers, hence the name of the case. There are quite a few pieces of equipment and various supplies that are needed. We worked together to adapt one of my existing bags, in order to provide adequate storage space.

The e-cigarette, itself, can be quite costly, so I created a zippered compartment on the front, with padding on the outside, in order to provide protection

On the back there is another zippered pocket, which can be used for i.d, a little cash, or other e-cigarette supplies, such as small packets of flavoring


Purchase one of my wallet windows , add your i.d., credit card and license, slip it in that back pocket, and you are good to go


Following the style of many of my other bags, the back has 2 d-rings so that you can customize your Vaper, with a wristlet strap

a shoulder strap


or use one to attach your keys

Inside are 4 pockets, designed to hold batteries, flavoring and other accessories you may need


I wanted to keep the size of the Vaper as small as possible, as you see it's easy to carry in it in your hand

Finally, as always with my bags, you are welcome to custom order a Vaper in fabric that you love. You can see my fabric here. Keep in mind that not only is it a small case, but the zippers on front and back "cut" though the print so not all my fabrics will be suitable

Available in solid black for the guys!

The Otter a small hipster shoulder bag with lots of pockets

 This was a custom order Otter, my small shoulder bag with lots of organizing pockets, and adjustable shoulder strap. The customer was very pleased and I am delighted to share her comments with you.


"I'm so excited!!! the shoulder bag was delivered today and I love it. It's the perfect size for me, I love the zipper pocket on the outside, nice and secure and I love the zipper closure, great pockets inside for staying organized. The strap length is perfect for me to sling it across my body. Delivery was super fast - packaged well and very accommodating shop. One of my best buying experiences. Thank you so much!!! Judy 4/12"
