Light Colours Today

I decided to try something new with lining. For this bag I used a soft flannel on the inside. It is the rectangle bag so it is quite big. I figured that it would be used for delicate things instead of makeup. I would put my cell phone, ipod, camera..those type of things. It would also be nice to keep jewelry in for traveling.

Here are a couple new bridal bags that I did. One is a small little rectangle bag (already spoken for) and the other is a triangle bag that is on Etsy still up for grabs (www.satchelbag.etsy.com).

New Bags!

Well, here are some of the new bags I have been working on. I have been inspired by the nightly chill in the Vancouver air and have been doing more fall colours. There are more to come soon but I have just not had time to photoshop everything!

This Triangle bag is made of a grey and black lambskin with a deep red silk shantung. I just feel that this bag is very sharp.

This Rectangle Bag is made of a cream and dark chocolate lambskin. It is lined with a beautiful floral cotton print. I love this bag because it is super feminine and has so many great fall colours in the lining. Speaking of fall..I have been waiting for the weather to get cooler so that I can justify buying a gorgeous piece from my all time favorite Etsy seller. Her name is Yokoo. She is amazing. I can't wait to pick something from her shop. Here are some that I am thinking about.

A Break From Bags

I have been sewing customers bags this week and sending them off..but I have also been sewing some new bags for my shop www.satchelbag.etsy.com . The colours I am using are more fall - reds, deep yellows maybe even some oranges. I am usually a big blue/green girl so it takes conscious effort for me not to sew everything in cool colours! I am hoping to have the new pics up sometime this week. I just thought I would share some other items on Etsy that I am loving. My sister is having a baby in the winter and I put together a little gift bag for her a month ago. Two of the items were from Etsy.

These booties are from Handmadebabylove. They are so adorable and perfect for the cold winter the new baby will have to endure (my sister lives in Edmonton, Alberta).

This is an item from littlealouette. It is a husband and wife duo who makes these beautiful wooden toys. The one I got specifically is for teething and in the shape of a giraffe. Check them out at www.littlealouette.etsy.com.

Back from Vacation

I am officially back at work and back to bag making. It took a couple days to get back into the rhythm of things, but I did. Now that summer is winding down (I have finally come to terms with it) I have been thinking about some new fall bags. I have a couple new designs in the works, along with different leathers and colours! I am very excited to have all the kinks worked out and be able to post some new stuff.

Almost Vacation!

The past week has been a mad rush for me to finish up all the things that need to be done before I leave for my vacation on Friday.  I am writing this blog post at midnight and still have a bag or so to finish afterwards!  I love being busy, so it works out well.  I have quite a few new bags that I am going to  post on Etsy ( http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=7575045&ga_search_query=Satchelbag&ga_search_type=seller_usernames) in the next couple days.  Here are some pictures of them.  I will be able to ship already made items while I am gone but I will not be excepting custom orders until I am back on August 10th.

Frocks!

Hey all.  The lovely owners of Frocks have blogged about me today.  It is so nice to work with such a supportive team of women.  If you are in the Vancouver area you can come talk to me about a custom wedding bag..or dress!
