*** Please check 'shop announcement' for production time and delivery before your purchase. *** This gorgeous bag is made from forest green pure hemp material. I really love its unique texture and the ruggedness of hemp, giving you a different feeling from other kinds of fabric. 12.5" top wide 12.5" tall 3.5" deep 23" straps This everyday bag is sturdy and roomy enough to hold your essentials, such as books, wallet, iPad, mobile and keys. It's fully lined with canvas, there are 2 slip pockets, one zipper pocket and a pen slip inside. The straps have been interfaced with poly-fleece for your extra comfort. A snap closure keeps all of your items secure. If you prefer this bag to be with a zipper closure instead, please let me know. You can select the colors from the option menu in this listing. I make each bag individually by hand with lots of care, also in the pet free and smoke free area. I prewashed the fabric before I made the bag, but if you want to wash it later, please wash separately by hand in cold water or dry clean. Please dry clean the bag for the best result.
Lots of craft bloggers, like myself, are getting very excited at the moment about a competition being run by Hillarys. I first read about it on Craft Blog UK, but I keep seeing fabulous competition entries popping up all over Pinterest and Craftgawker. Crafters get to choose between 4 patterned upholstery fabrics and then you get sent a 1m x 1m piece of fabric to make something amazing out of. Now sewing is a little out of my comfort zone... yes I've made a dress or 2 in my time and I can roughly follow a pattern, but I'm much happier with 2 needles in my hand, or spinning fibre between my fingers. I do love a challenge though, so I thought I'd try something I haven't done for over a decade - design and make a purse. Here goes! The fabric I chose is called Bird Parade. I think I must have been drawn to it as the peacocks are my favourite colour. The pattern is quite big and bold and the repeat area is quite large. I knew that I wanted to incorporate one particular part of the design into my purse - of which there are only 2 repeats... I knew then that I would have to make a prototype purse out of some reclaimed material, so that I didn't waste my precious fabric before I'd even started. I decided to design a purse with pleats on the front and back, and a gathered side and bottom. I wanted quite an informal style, that was simple to make and didn't require perfect sewing skills. After an awful lot of trial, and even more error, I came up with the pattern pieces you can see above. Now, my sewing technique and pattern-cutting skills might be a little unorthodox, but I thought as I'd produced a pattern, I may as well share it here. The Tutorial You will need - An offcut of fabric (I made my prototype purse out of an old toddler dress.) Pattern pieces that you can print out here and here. Needle and thread Scissors Pins Sewing machine - although it could be done by hand. 8.5cm half round, sew on purse frame. Interfacing if your fabric is quite thin. I didn't use any for this project as I felt it was heavy enough. A small piece of plastic canvas to stiffen the base. Nylon beading thread. Seed beads. Print off the pattern pieces from here and here and cut them out. Overlay your pattern pieces onto your fabric, taking extra care with placement to make sure it complements the final design. I particularly wanted to have the nice vertical swoop of the peacock's tail on the front of my purse and as much blue/green of the peacock around the gathered sides of my purse. Here are all the pieces needed to make the purse. The 4 pieces on the left make up the outside of the purse and the 4 on the left make up the lining. I was tempted to use a satin fabric for the lining, but as it's not a flimsy fabric I thought that the upholstery fabric would help it to hold its shape more as I didn't want to use interfacing. Stitch the 2 outer side pieces together at the short straight edge and the 2 lining pieces together so that you have 2 long strips. Machine a long basting stitch along the 2 long edges of the outer side pieces which will make it easier to gather together later. Using the pattern as a guide, pin the pleats on the front and back of the purse in place and then tack them down so that they will be easier to stitch later. Pin the purse front and back to the gathered side. Pull the side panel basting stitches to gather it together and even them out around the purse. Avoid gathering around the 'V' of the side panel. You may like to baste around it later to make machine stitching easier. Machine stitch a 1 cm seam around the front and back of the outer purse. Do the same for the lining. Snip into the seam allowance around the curve. With right sides together, pin the outer front to the corresponding lining, then pin the 2 side seams. With a 1 cm seam allowance, hand stitch around the top of the purse, sewing 1 side seam, the top front and then the 2nd side seam, leaving the back open to allow for turning the right way round. Cut a small piece of plastic canvas to fit on the base of the purse. Hand stitch this in place. Turn the purse the right way around and finally stitch the back outer and back lining tops together. Tack your purse to the purse frame. Starting in the middle, use a blunt tool like a bodkin to push the fabric up into the channel of the purse. At the same time use a contrasting thread to sew through and over the purse frame top to hold the purse roughly in place to make sewing it onto the frame much easier. We're nearly there! If I'm using a sew on purse frame, I prefer not to see the stitches over the top of the frame. I think it looks so much neater if the stitches are hidden with beads. Secure a length of 0.3mm nylon beading thread inside your purse near the hinge. Push the needle through the first hole to the front of the purse, thread a bead onto the needle and then push the needle back through the same hole. Move onto the next hole from inside the purse. Using this method, all of the stitches are hidden inside the purse. Continue around all of the holes of the purse frame until you've sewn a complete circuit and then secure your beading thread inside. All that's left to do now is to remove the temporary stitches holding the purse onto the frame and the tack stitches holding the pleats in place. I'm so pleased with my little peacock purse! The upholstery fabric was perfect for it and it holds its shape beautifully. Here's the contrasting back. I quite impressed myself as it's been years since I've made anything other than curtains or simple seams. I'm really tempted to whip up a much larger version now, with the rest of the fabric, maybe as an evening bag for special occasions... ------ As an aside, you may be interested to see the first purse I made when I was designing my pattern pieces... Here it is. It's made from one of M's toddler dresses from when she was 18 months old and she's already claimed it as her own.

I didn't finish most of the items on my weekend to-do list, but I did make these little bags! These are the Ruched Happy Bags. The pattern is by Amy of During Quiet Time (available here). It's a great pattern with clear, easy-to-follow instructions. Shoot...kind of want to keep this one for myself. Kind of want to keep this one too. Must. Buy. Zippers.

Loaded and ready to go to Canton that is! My small crew and myself have been working for weeks trying to get things ready to take to Laurie Anna's http://laurieannas.blogspot.com/ this month for the Canton show. Laurie told me to bring lot's and lots for the Fall shows, so that's what I'm doing my truck is full, from floor to ceiling. Laurie and Willie have redone the entire store and it's full of new treasures. I will be leaving in a little bit to take my things to the shop and I can't wait to see all of the goodies that she has! This is just a peek into my truck, ok.... I'm not the best at packing things! Here are just a few of the things that I will be taking to Laurie's. Our new hobo bags! It's been so hot here in Texas, but I've been hearing of a cool down, maybe down to 95 this weekend, I never thought I would be so glad to see it 95 degrees but at this point it sounds pretty good. Hope to see ya at Canton!!!

But now back to reality I have so much to do now that I'm back home, the contractor will be coming soon to start on my kitchen, so that means a lot of work for me.... I will have to pack up a lot of things and get out of the kitchen, I also have things to add to my website, new things to make in my studio, and all of the other daily things that go on, and tomorrow is my mine and my husbands 20th anniversary, we had big plans but afraid they will have to be put off for a little while .
