She wanted a new bag to carry to the college when she swims with the ladies and this is it...
and just to show you how big it is...
Way bigger than my Crazy Cat Lady bag.
I love purses. I can't think of any better way to show that passion than to make you a tote bag. I love to make special order bags. Just ask.

Auntie Barb's Birthday Present...
I'll be so glad when the weather cooperates with me and I can take my photos outside in the sunshine. Because these photos do not do this fabric justice!
The fabric has gold running through it, tracing the edges of the tulips. And the dragon flys are gold also.
This is a birthday gift for Auntie Barb. She loves lavendar!
The shell is reversible.

The shell is reversible.
The pockets are deep set for better stability.
This bag is the same size as Rebecca's Church Lady Bag. I like this size much better than the original short bag.
Enjoy it Auntie Barb!!

She asked for teal blue and brown paisley and this is what I found. I made the ex-large with the improved lower set pockets.

Breaking Eggs...
My sister, Rebecca, suggested a new design. This is what she wanted.
Not cats. Auntie Barb wants the cats.
But the design.
I normally make a proto-type of every design and this is it.
I'm fly by the sit of my pants sorta gal and cut the pattern out and never looked at the directions, and this is what I got.
I'm not crazy about it.
I will work out the bugs and tweak it a bit. I did learn some things that I will use in my other bags. I'm sure Zenobia and Tonya will love the changes. The pocket is deeper and goes all the way around. The straps are longer and there's a closure.

Speciality Totes...
I call this a pony bag because to me, it looks like pony hide. My sister calls this her cow bag because to her it looks like a cow hide. But whatever you want to call it is fine...you need a bag like this!!
It is a faux suede and lined with a satiny lining. No pockets. I didn't think a pocket would hold up well on the satin.
My neice wanted one bigger so her is larger all the way around and has a cotton lining and pockets.

My Gym Bag...
and I love it!!
My mother brought this faux fur back with her from Texas. I used a faux suede for the handles and the bottom. I used a heavy muslin for the lining....first time I used that. And I really like it.
It has a deep pocket, with 4 sections, one just the right size to put a book or a wallet.
The interior lining, the stabilizer is a 2sided iron on material.
It has a magnetic snap closure.
The Best Part about it....My husband looks good carrying it!

Special Order for Becca Kauffman
Becca asked me to make her a Pink Floral Messenger bag. I suggested that she go to JoAnn.com and look over what they had to offer since are so many different fabrics available and she sent me a link to a burgandy!!
The photos do not give a true color suggest. It makes it look red but it's not really.
I had some leftover rose trim for the flap.
She also requested a re-enforced bottom and adjustable straps. I hope this fits her needs....and her Laptop!

Sew Much To Do!
Becca's bag.
Actually, I have it down to one seam and top stitching the edge. And then it's ready to go!
Sweet!
I hope he likes this!
I've tried to add slide shows so I could easily display my catalog. But didn't work out for me. So I'll add the complete catalog as I go. My PC is trying to die on me so the process is slow.
Thanks!!
