Orange Spice Snowy Bag

Another Snowy bag. Fully recycled fabic this time, including recycled beads.
Lined with slub silk effect polyester and red taffeta, with two internal pockets.

Introducing the Snowy Bag ....

I was recently asked to make some bags in a different style for a friend. She provided the fabric - 1/2 yard each for the lining and the outer, and she wanted a slouchy handbag style with inside pockets.

I've been looking at different styles recently and debating what to try, so this was a good challenge!

This is my own pattern, although the style is a pretty common one.

This one is in pink batik with a lilac lining.
I added the recycled touch, beads from an old T shirt - they were just the right shade.

Fastened with a large button and loop closure.

Black flouncy fabric with fuchsia lining.

Fastened with a large black button - this button was a bit big, so I added a rosette on the other side to balance it. It seems to suit the fabric!

Obviously both of these are sold, but keep an eye on Folksy, I will be making more very shortly!

Kyckling Messenger Bag

A friend brought this fabric back from France for me, but I think it has a very swedish look to it - hence the name! Kyckling is swedish for chicken and is pronounced 'shuckling' (thanks for the translation Diane!)





It is a lovely, linen effect fabric with a red, white and black chicken print.

This is a roomy messenger bag with a long, comfortable strap, button down flap and two internal pockets.

The bright red lining is recycled polycotton.






Bag is 14" wide x 13" deep with a 4" gusset.

Hand washable, drip dry and steam iron.

Magnolia Cream - £20

This bag is from a small offcut of beautiful woven chenille fabric in shades of cream, lined with a sumptuous black and bronze satin. It is fastened with a pretty crochet loop and fancy gold coloured button and finished with a detachable, crochet flower. Inside are two good sized pockets to stop your smaller items from disappearing to the bottom of the bag.




At 28cm x 28cm (11" x 11") it is not a shopper, more a large hand/shoulder bag. The strap is a generous 132cm (52") long so can go either over your shoulder or across the body.
