I made some dresses……
I sent out an FB request to my friends for materials with which to craft.
One person gave me something.
One! (thank you RP!)
And with a silent auction happening at work I was asked by the same person if I would make something for people to bid on.
Of course I can!
Now she asked for something specific but without a time frame there is only so much I can do. So I started with this and figure if I have another few days I can make a bag/purse like she requested.
This skirt was in the bag of clothes she gave me and when I saw it I immediately thought pillow.
So that’s what I made….
What do you think? Would you bid on this?
It’s like the tree has given us a gift of purse! But really I just forgot to take a picture of my finished project as usual so I tossed it up there on a whim. I probably should have at least picked a limb low enough to get the details on the bag!
I made this for my SIL. She had seen the one I made for myself ages ago and asked for one. She provided the pants, yes, pants, I did the rest.
This is a purse made from a pair of cords. She provided a black pair and I dug through my stash and found a fun butterfly patterned piece big enough for the lining. I lined the inside of the handles with the same material and decided at the last minute to make a belt for it as well. The waist size of the pants determines the size of the bag so this wasn’t a large one, about a 6 maybe. I didn’t put any interior pockets but could have as there ended up being more room than I anticipated. It is meant to be a forearm bag only because of the short handles.
I handed it off to many thank you’s, great job’s and wow you should make these for money! but honestly I prefer blankets.
And now I need to get back to the blanket I have been procrastinating over because as usual I am running short on time!
I made this awesome purse for someone at work. I loved this bag and almost almost regret selling it because I loved it so much.
She didn’t like my original design colours (grey and something) and then started asking for red/black or vibrant colours and it needed this and needed that and I was like okay nevermind I am so not making you a purse anymore……I don’t like people infringing on my creative process.
So after much thought and sifting through my fabric stash I found this red and black awesomeness and received some free stash from M that I used for the liner. It was a nice heavy fabric that gave the bag a nice weight and made it “more winter/cold weather friendly”. I also used some of the wool from my old winter coat for the bottom, sides and button clasp as well as the button, it came from the coat also.
You like the little bird right? I use them on all the projects I am really proud of they also came from M’s stash way back in the day.
The end result was simply fantastic. One pocket on the inside running the length of the bag, a pocket on either end all with elastic tops to minimize things from falling out. Button closure. Two medium length straps perfect for keeping the bag under arm or to hang at a reasonable height from your elbow. Seriously I loved this creation.
