Finished The Cat Bag...

Auntie Barb's Tote is finished.

This bag is shorter than The Church Lady Bag.

And with the shell being detachable, I can make a different one for her. Maybe one day I'll find Boston Terrier fabric.

The Church Lady Bag...

I made this for my sister. It's the new design she wanted. And I couldn't think of a better bag for her to carry to Church. Well, it the Cross fabric had been pink that would have been perfect.
The shell is reversible.

Viola!

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.

This is the re-do.

I have to do it over. Ugh!

There are so many things totally wrong.

Do you think it would help to read the directions?

Speciality Totes...

My Niece's bag... Manny Approved!

Speciality Totes...

Crazy About Dots!

Speciality Totes...

For the Nurses...

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.
