Satchel Bags

Here are a couple of satchel bags I finished today for my online shop

Satchel Bags

I've been a bit slack with updating my blog lately, too much time on the computer!  So I thought it's about time I put something on.   These are the latest satchel bags I've made.  I'll have some new purses on here soon too!

Things for the markets

I've been busy making new satchel bags for the markets and these tea towels. The tea towels are just a one off thing for something different but I love doing the satchel bags. After the markets I'll be putting some on my online shop and some in the Pod Collective shop. I love these owls in Sprout Design fabric!

Little Birdie

I am a bit obsessed with doing different designs on satchel bags right now - I just finished this one this afternoon. I love these fabrics... Also, I have done up a fish skeleton design, it will be lime green on black and also red on black. Looks great, just have to sew it all on. this photo is slightly blurry and then i sharpened it so not the best photo, but I don't like using the flash in any photography, took this about 5.30pm so getting a bit dark then. My next plan for the natural satchel bags is an owl design using some beautiful natural linen with a retro circles fabric for the wings.

Satchel bag

This is my favourite satchel bag at the moment. This design was inspired by that 1966 kids book I mentioned in an earlier post. Little birdies flying across the bag, I used the 'Dick and Jane' sentences fabric as the background then the red polka dot fabric is a Japanese cotton and hand stitched the legs. I might do another one similar but with some leaves on it as well...

Satchel Bags and tea towels!!

Someone suggested I make up some tea towels for the shop - so I have bought 10 which I am now working on. They are looking pretty groovy - they are 'not nanna's tea towels'. I've been looking at hand printed or appliqued tea towels on the net and there are a few around but haven't seen any modern looking ones around where I live. So hopefully these will appeal for a gift idea. I just need to find somewhere to put them! Also making a few new satchel bags up. This photo is not the best as I took it at night without a flash but I had to put it on here, I love the bird design which has hand stitching and machine applique. I love the colour combination. That book I talked about before inspired this design.

I just made some more satchel bags, it's fun choosing what fabric to put on them, so many choices! These bags are $29.95. I am having a stall at Ecofest this weekend which should be great, there are over 80 stalls with heaps of great activities and displays. Kids will love it. I am selling bags and all the things I make using something recycled.

Canvas satchel bags

These canvas bags have a long shoulder strap, gusset, two-layer flap closure. Street bags with a thousand uses! These are big enough to hold a laptop and are great for work, uni, or great for bike riding or whenever you need a bag that keeps your hands free. The front flap is covered with designer fabrics, these 3 are Japanese Echino fabric and there will be many more designs. Available at Ecofest on the 31st May and they will be in the Pod Collective Shop, these bags are only $29.95 .
