Custom Morphin Zelda Messenger Bag and nice comments from its owner!

I did this custom Morphin Zelda last week. Great selection of fabrics for the flaps don't you think?
Today I received some nice words from the customer.

"Dear Karen,

I received my bag and flaps yesterday at work. I am so pleased with my bag. I switched all my
stuff into it today and love it! I started with the Monster flap - it's so fun!  The quality of
workmanship is great and the materials seem like they will last for quite awhile.

Thank you again for your fast and superb service!

Sincerely,

Susan "

Rasta or African Mini Messenger Bag

 I found this incredible fabric, made in Africa, using the wax print method. I love the people, and of course it's the Rasta colors, red, green and yellow. 
I couldn't wait to make a messenger bag to see how the motif would work.
Here is a Zeldina, my mini messenger bag. I think it works just great, don't you?
Find it in the shop here
I can make just about any of my bags using this fabric so please feel free to ask for a custom order.

Tarot Card Lynx Deluxe Messenger Bag

As regular readers know, I look for the unusual. I found this tarot card fabric and thought it fit the bill. The art work is beautiful. It's rare, I would doubt you'll find a bag made from it anywhere else.

The inner pockets have plenty of room for a deck or two!

Ghastlie Night the dinner scene, Tallullah Purse

Last year The Ghastlie Haunted House print was introduced and received a great reception. A new print, in the same line is now available. Called Ghastlie Night, it takes us inside the house to see the family!
It's wonderful, as you can see here, in the dinner scene, which fits the Tallullah purse so perfectly it looks like it was made for it.

Mahjong coin purses and zipper bags in two prints

I am thrilled to find more mahjong fabric. I had some a few years ago, but it has become difficult to find. Then, suddenly, I found two within the last couple of weeks.

I made coin purses and zip bags, but will be adding other products in these prints over the next few weeks. And, as always, I would be delighted to do a custom order so please ask




I have to admit I know nothing about the game, but the tiles are intriguing. To learn more, there is a detailed description on Wikipedia

Bleu Paris, birds, butterflies and flowers, Large Tootsie number 3

Here's the final large Tootsie from the newest group. This fabric is wonderful!

Large Tootsie purse number 2....Kaleidoscope tile

 

Another larger scale print that took some consideration before using. I thought this print would be wonderful on a messenger bag, but when it arrived I wasn't sure it would work. But when I set out to make some Tootsies, I knew I had a winner!

I wish I could show the beauty of this fabric in the photographs. It's amazing!

 

I used the print on the front and back, and made it with black cotton handles

Solid black bottom




 2 zipper pulls

A new selection of Large Tootsie Purses, first... koi collage

 

On my never ending quest to add more inventory to the shop, I finished 3 new large Tootsie purses in the last week.


This is the first one, Koi Collage. When I got this fabric I knew it needed to be used on a fairly large bag. I set it aside until I could decide how to use it. The large Tootsie seemed perfect. Not too small, not too big, just right!


It's gorgeous, the colors seem to glow, they are so rich.

I made this purse with an adjustable shoulder strap, and a solid black back, and bottom
