Upclose of the applique. So pretty.

Here's the back.

Hope's New Bag

I created this bag for a friend of mine as part of a trade. She's going to take our family pictures for the holiday season. (Provided I ever get our outfits done, that is.) This is for her youngest daughter who is in ballet. The cd is just for size reference. It's a square bottomed bag with pretty long handles and a zip top. There's a gathered pocket on the other side big enough to hold the kitchen sink. I only hope the bag doesn't totally pull her little girl over. It seems rather big... But a girl needs some space for shoes and clothes and sundry for ballet class so maybe it's just fine.

This just in....

This is A.'s bag. She hasn't even seen it yet. It makes me go EEP everytime I look at it. I loveLoveLOVE this bag and, hopefully, she will too. It has shorter straps that the others have because she wanted more of a purse and less of a "Bag."

Here's an upclose view of the removable flower pin. Ain't it just cute?

Tea for MamaB

I brought my original bag to get together with friends and MamaB slobbered on my bag so much I promised to make her one so she'd quit drooling on mine. The result seems to suit her. Her raving review on her blog actually caused me to blush just a bit. I'm glad she loves it.

Podkayne's New Bag

Podkayne requested a bag large enough to accomodate her laptop. She chose the fabrics from my stash. I *think* this bag ended up being something she adores. You'd really have to just ask her...

Here are the promised photos. This is the bag that began it all. My first of this type.
