Custom made

I got a request recently to make a custom made bag for someone…  She particularly liked one of my round bags but at the same time she liked the messenger-bag shape better, though she thought they were too big. So after a bit of back and forth we agreed on a messenger bag that would be about 20cm x 20 cm, with the matching small purse and mobile pouch.  The last two options I sent her to choose from, were the following:

 

 

 

 

Both are super cute, don’t you think?  She picked the purple, I would have too to be honest.  And this morning I got up super early to make it for her.  I thought she would want to wear it as soon as possible, I would.

 

So do you think she will be happy with it?  I almost didn’t write back to her and simply kept the little set for myself.  I think that when my new site goes online, in less than a month, I shall have little sets like this for sale too, what do you think is that a good idea or do you think its too much of a good thing?

More custom made

I came away from the Froh Markt on saturday with two more custom made orders.  The first for a large mobile purse and the other a little camera case. 

One woman fell in love with my little mobile pouches and purses but she owns one of those HUGE things that you can flip open for a full keypad.  She said she had looked everywhere for a pretty little something to protect it but hadn’t found anything so far.  So she asked if I could make her one, just for her.  Of course!  She liked the yellow material the best, so I measured the phone and promised to make her something nice. I think it looks really cute.

                            

The other order is a birthday present for a man. Basically his girl friend had borrowed his camera and thought it would be nice to have a protective case especially made.  Something that no one else would have.  She popped around to my workshop yesterday so we could pick the material.  It went really quick, she like the green right away.  It was rather difficult to make, anything small is much more difficult to work on than large things.  But I think the end result is quite cute and practical as it is heavily padded.  I’m not usually very good with manly things so I had to make a big effort and held back, not adding too many details.  We decided on Velcro, becasue this way the camera straps can still be used.

         

Wouldn’t you like a little something simular??? 

Busy, Busy bee!

I’ve been very busy these last few days making new bags, pouches and books for the Christmas fair that I am participating in this and next weekend in Dreieich-Dreieichenhain. Click here to check out their website! 

And as a picture is worth a thousand words… Here you go!

 

Yet more mobile pouches and some note books, they make nice stocking fillers or are also good for work gift exchanges.

  

Some little agendas, also good little presents…  and so so pretty! I particularly like the black one with the lime green stitching, sorry the quality of my pictures aren’t that great.

  

This purple messenger bag in my new favourite bag of all times.  I think it’s absolutely fabulous!!!  And would look super with a black winter jacket or just a denim one  It’s in bright purple cord and the lining is turquoise like the ribbon and details.  I love the look of the stitching and all the buttons  even if they took forever to sew on one at a time…

 

This messenger bag is also great, the pocket underneath the flap is of the same material with the turquoise flowers.  The lining is 100% cotton and also turquoise!  The strap is not adjustable but is of the same brown cord as the rest of the bag.  It also has a fusible interfacing so it is stiff and will keep it’s shape well.

 

I really like this one as well, it’s much more subtel than the purple bag but has great details. The bag is of olive-green cord and has 100% cotton beige lining.  The ribbons are copper coloured as is all the stitching and the little beads at the top of the flap…

There were a couple more bags but these are definitely the best!

Anyway, I need to start packing and need to fix my pavilion…  I’ll take pictures of the market and let you know how it all went.

If you’re interested in any of the bags, agendas or books, simply contact me… Quickly…  So that I don’t pack it/them away and sell them off tomorrow at the Market!
