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 🙂
Woo hoo! Pretty exciting to get recognized from Etsy 🙂 Thank you to all of my wonderful customers!! 🙂
Beautiful purple glitter velvet with smooth purple satin. The glitter velvet is a very dark, almost black, purple, with lots and lots of grape purple sparkle glitter. It’s a beautiful fabric with a bit of a nap. I am cutting the fabric so the glitter with catch the light no matter how the finished bag is carried.
The deep purple satin is a heavier weight – thicker – fabric so it can hold up to be used as a purse lining. I’m planning to use gunmetal hardware – rivets and D ring – so the hardware blends in with the fabric, rather than accent the fabric.
Stay tuned for the finished bag!
Two new hobo style bags are on my sewing table. I just finished them this week. The top bag is a luscious peacock blue velvet paired with peacock feather fabric inside. It’s super soft and would be perfect for day to evening.
The 2nd bag is another soft to touch gray leopard print suede hobo bag. The suede is manmade so it can handle a trip outside with no worries about rain drop stains. The inside is coordinating gray cotton with a zipper pocket and a convenient slip pocket for your phone.
Both have the same fabric for their shoulder strap, making the bag comfortable to carry. Magnet snap closure to secure your bag.
You can see in the upper right of the photo a sneak peek of the next bag: purple glitter velvet. These bags will be listed on my shop in the next few days. Enjoy !
