Bags of sewing.

Come and call in at my new shop on Folksy. New things being added all the time!

Two weeks of inactivity away on holiday have given me a little push to get cracking on with my bag making endeavour. I have an animal charity stall in June to attend ( I know it’s ages away but time rushes by!) and the organisers said animal themes are the way to go, makes sense I suppose!

These 3 are the result so far and yes I know one is denim no animals in sight! There is a heap of materials stacked up in my little sewing room and this weekend is a no sew one as we have company for 3 nights. Lovely but a no no to any thoughts of creativity!

My next dog walking bag is cut out and is one for golden retriever owners. Then I am going for a change, perhaps a feline theme or something totally wild, who knows!

Jeans to a bag!

It’s been a really long while since I actually did some denim therapy ie reworking jeans into another useful life. My granddaughters’ year 10 jeans have been refashioned into a sweet new handbag , and I am really chuffed with the result.

My granddaughter is not yet appreciative of my “makes” although she is a loving and polite 15 year old now, and is amused with my efforts on the sewing machine and on the web. In fact she is my IT support team and I am always in awe!
