Sew Proud Continued

Just a few more bags…..Some have been sold, but most are available in my Etsy shop.  Many are handprinted and most are made from repurposed items.

My Mother Would be Sew Proud!

My mother was quite a seamstress.  She could whip up patterns by cutting them out of the Sunday paper with scissors, head to the sewing machine and come back with an amazing outfit or some beautiful craft.  I doubt I will ever be that fantastic of a seamstress but I’m so proud of the purses and bags I’ve been making lately.  Each one seems to turn out a little better than the last!  My mother would love them.  She would also love the fact that they are 100% upcycled fabric that I tracked down at the local thrift store.  One of our favorite things to do together was spend a morning digging through the racks to find some amazing relic that someone else had discarded and put it back to use.  Hope you love these as much as I do, because I want to keep each one I make.

Made from a burlap type fabric that was handprinted with my queen anne’s lace design.  The lining, handles and pocket were made from a vintage shirt.

A frumpy 80′s jumper turned into a modern bag.  100% upcycled.  Lining made from repurposed curtains.
