What a great order this was! Part one!

One of my favorite regular customers checked out my blog a few months ago. The result? She wanted some of the Slider drawstring bags, plus a small Fleur tote and 3 Britta Shopper totes! One thing led to another and we started "looking" for fabric choices. I found some, she found some and I ended up with a whole batch of beautiful fabrics and the luxury of using them to, what I thought, was their best advantage. It's going to take a few postings to share them all but it's worth it! Here's the first batch!

Custom Plaid Bag

Just finished this nice bag! A Zelda deluxe (because one can never have enough pockets!) made with plaid supplied by the customer. We worked together via e-mail to get the right layout on this baby. The side pockets are cut on the bias putting the plaid on the diagonal. One pocket will be handy for carrying an umbrella~! The flaps edges are taped to provide a break in the plaid and a solid edge to the flap.

One beautiful large Fleur tote

A customer was looking for a tote to carry her laptop. She looked at my fabric selection on Flickr and decided to go with this purple beauty. We changed the dimensions of the large Fleur tote to accommodate the laptop and wow, it looks great!

A Red Hat Society Lady's Custom Order

This customer liked one of my hats. I resized it and she was pleased. As a result she came back to my shop and we worked together to create a new Tallullah for her and a Pickford as a gift for the Queen Mother of her chapter!

A Beautiful Animal Print Custom Order

This customer is very fond of animal prints and we custom designed a variety of my products together.

A Suebee Drawstring bag made with faux tiger and a Raven coin purse made with a very unusual all over big cat print.

A Honeysuckle Tote made with faux snow leopard fur on the front and back with a matching pencil case.

A Gorgeous Custom Asian Dragon Messenger Bag

A customer contacted me requesting a custom Zelda Messenger Bag in the large size to accommodate a laptop computer. She sourced out the incredible dragon fabric and matching lining for the flap. We then worked together, via e-mailed pictures, to get the layout of the dragon just right on the flap and rear panel. Originally the idea was to have the dragon "wrap around' the bag but it proved to be over load. When we saw how it looked with a simple black front panel we knew that was the way to make this baby really pop!

Oh my I haven't posted in like forevver!

Yup, I am working so hard on custom orders, some containing quite a large assortment of products, that I haven't had time to post anything!
If I did find time I'd have to be very careful because quite a few of these custom orders are gifts.
Imagine the trouble I'd be in if a giftee stumbled upon their very own Christmas present right there on the internet. Not knowing it was for them but loving it, what if they contacted me and asked for a duplicate! Boy would I be in trouble.

First prototype of a new pouch

I was contacted by a person about a little wallet type pouch she and her mother both owned and loved. They can't find any more like them and wondered if I made anything similar. I received some pictures via e-mail and made my own version. Here it is. This is the basic first try at this bag.
There's a zippered pocket on the outside and the inside. I made it with a sturdy cordura to give it some bulk and body. It's lined with my standard nylon taffeta. It would work just find as it is, but I can also overlay the outer fabric with any of my cotton prints to add some more personality if desired.
It measures 7" wide by 4" deep. I like it, it has a lot of space for a small bag and would slip easily into a purse. I also think it could be adapted pretty easily to become a belt pouch. Hmmm, wheels turning!

Introducing "The Suebee" A Round Drawstring Bag

Another customer request, this time for a round drawstring bag 5 1/2" in diameter and 9" tall.
Makes a nice addition to the "simple bag" line!

Drawstring Shoe/Travel Bags have arrived

Yup they are an official product now. Here's the first batch. Two are part of a custom order!
