Behind the studio
I am working on a custom bag today. The pieces are cut out and ready to be interfaced, and then sewn together.
I designed this custom bag with a very lovely customer. It’s a fun bag to sew! The purple tweed has 2 shades of purple threads and a clear thread that catch the light. Stay tuned for the finished bag 🙂

I’ve been experimenting with a small to medium sized bag. These beautiful bags are large enough for the biggest max sized phone while letting you travel relatively light. At 10.75 x 7 x 4 inches, these bags are a great size for everyday use.
This red bag is a combination of red suede on the front and back and coordinating red faux leather on the sides and bottom of the bag. The suede is soft but sturdy and the faux leather is smooth and soft. Each bag has a good interfacing to make the bag sturdy and hold it’s shape.
Both bags have an adjustable crossbody strap. The strap lengthens to a full crossbody bag and shortens to a shoulder bag length.
This beautiful bag is made with a soft deep green blue teal crushed velvet. The bag looks deep peacock teal in some light and an emerald green in other light. Beautiful gold hardware accents the green blue teal.
A zipper closure keeps your items securely inside. Inside is fully lined, with more pockets.
I like my inside fabrics to be fun 🙂 The crushed velvet bag has peacock feathers inside. The red suede bag has animal shadows on red that reminds me of sunsets.
Both bags are already post on my Etsy shop. Take a look and see if this is the bag for you!
This is my newest crossbody work bag. Perfect for your favorite science teacher, STEM student, chemist, physicist, and anyone who loves science!
2 large pockets on the outside – perfect for even the largest phone!
It features a removable & adjustable crossbody strap, as well as shoulder straps. The straps are a textured black faux leather, sewn & riveted to the bag.
The fabric is cotton fused & sewn to a sturdy interfacing to keep the bag fun but sturdy. Microscopes, protractors, test tubes, magnets – everything a science lover wants on their bag. When I saw this fabric, I thought it would be perfect for everyone across the range of all the sciences.
Inside is a fun bubbles cotton fabric. The fabric reminded me of beakers bubbling during a chemistry experiment. I like my inside fabrics to be fun and bring a smile to your face every time you open the bag. Lots of inside pockets make this bag practical as well.
This crossbody tote bag can be found already listed on my Etsy shop Photos of it’s creation can be found on my Pinterest page.

I think of dandelions as a summer flower. But here we are, still spring, and the dandelions have arrived.
I liked this one because the seeds were all ready to pick up a wind gust and have an adventure! I can picture in my mind several painting ideas from this photo. I hope it inspires a painting or perhaps even a poem for you!
