Zippertastic Double-Sided Awesomeness

As you can guess from the title, I'm pretty excited about this bag.

We took it on a little photo shoot.  This bag loved being out and about.  This bag had soooo much fun.

                          

 

Check it out on Etsy here.

Owl Tote in Beach Colors.

$40 + shipping.

I say "Beach Colors" because these tones remind me of, well... beach stuff. Pink, peach, green, sandy beige, etc.

But that's just me.

13.5 " H x 11.75" W. 32" strap. Magnetic snap closure, inside divider pocket.

Individual owl-parts were serged, then stitched on to bag.

Find it in my Etsy Shop.

Zip Pouch, Owl, Blue Stripe

$25 + shipping.

Close cousin to this guy.

More info on Etsy.

Toucan Zip Pouch in Rouge

$20+ shipping

Toucan colors were selected to match the backing fabric.  See more photos via the Etsy listing.

Grocery Tote... um... Naked Lady with a Tambo

$20 + shipping.

Simple tote. Two snaps, lined. Fabric came in a box of donations containing fancy designer-ish, kitschy, occasionally bizarre remnants. 

Yes, that is a naked lady with a tambourine. Maids are a-milkin' and whatnot on the other side.  Buy and be this happy:

Another li'l corduroy bag

 

The purple corduroy pants live on!  Messing around with  scraps, really.  This one's a gift for a friend.

Grocery Tote, Black with Gigantic Flower

$20 + shipping.

Once again, my late-night description-well runneth dry.  Slightly reminiscent of this guy.  Or this one.  Except in black.

Check it out in my Etsy shop.

Experiment: Foldable Grocery Tote with Button Fastener

Experimentation... success?  

Simple grocery tote, meant to be folded up inside another bag.... yes, yes, I've done this before, but this time I'm including the little tab and button to actually fasten the whole shebang together.

These two are prototypes and will be going out as gifts.  But I think I like the idea.

Taupe Grocery Tote, With Big Flower

$20+shipping

A sequel to the Green Grocery Tote with the big-assed flower on it.  Meet the Taupe Grocery Tote with a big-assed flower on it.  

I put serious thought into the "taupe" designation.  It's not beige, it's not khaki, it's not natural or ecru... it's pretty much taupe.

No-frills, easy-peasey, will fold up easily inside other larger bags.  Good for travel and impromptu grocery trips.  An excellent example of a dayoffbag.  Not to mention cheapish.

Zip-Pouch... Namaste.

At this point, you know Kristin, right?  And this awesome design she drew for me to embroider on yoga mat bags and stuff, right?

Ok, good.

So I'm embroidering this design on other stuff now.  All strictly experimental.  This one's for the purple-lover in your life.  It actually kinda matches The YMB in Purple and Yellow Floral Print.

See the Etsy listing here.

Toucan Zip Pouch, Pink + Blue

Another toucan!  Zip-pouch.  Hand-embroidered.  You know the drill.

AHEM. FREE BAG.

First come, first serve.  (Safety pins not included.)

The Owl is the Center Square

While I totally support an adult carrying this bag, it's also quite suitable for the kidlets.

Nibs Rides Again!

Nibs appears again, this time with a brick-red 'n' blue floral backing.

Purple Corduroy + Beads

$15 + shipping

So my friends have taken to giving me their old clothes, which I promptly butcher and salvage for cool fabric options.  Mostly denim and the occasional corduroy.  Most of the pouches you see here, were once my friends' pants.  These cords, however, were mine.  They served me well!

This is just a fun li'l zipper-pouch with beading detail.  See more on Etsy here.

Toucan, Finished!

Left of Centre Polka Dot Tote

$25 + shipping.

You are not seeing things. Those polka dots are slightly askew. Don't ask me why. This fabric was donated to me by someone with access to random fabric samples. 

(As previously discussed, I now have fabric with corgis on it.)

Lined. Inside divider-pocket. Snap closure. 
Satin-ish synthetic lining. The polka dots are velvety. Definitely one of a kind.
12" W x 11.5" H x 2.5" D
24" strap.

Find it in my etsy shop.

Freaking Cute: Green Grocery Tote with Big Flower

$20 + shipping.

So, I suck at product descriptions.  I call it like I see it.  And this is: a green grocery tote with a big-assed flower on it.  No-frills, easy-peasey, will fold up easily inside other larger bags.  Good for travel and impromptu grocery trips.

It's also freakingcute.  Not to mention cheapish.  Really happy with this one.  Would love for it to find a good home.

#WIP: flower(s)

Another offering from the aforementioned week of The Plague of the Everlasting Coughing.  No pattern, no forethought, I just started stitching in a fever-induced haze of bad movies and cough drops....

Not thrilled with the stem, but I think once I add some beads and stuff it'll be ok.  Going for that old-school sort of tapestry look, will fill in with lots of tidbits.

A friend wants me to make this into a backpack.  I don't know how to handle adjustable straps.  Guess it's time to learn!

#WIP: Toucan!

I was stranded at home with The Plague of Everlasting Coughing, and I got a little crazy.

I like this guy!  Guess he's headed for a zipper-pouch... unless anyone has any other bright ideas...
