This is the requested bag I just finished making.
I named it "Round Granny Boston Bag".

It has a deep gathered pocket on both sides with a round shaped flap.
The flap is weighed down with the D ring which can be used also to attach the shoulder strap.

This is how it looks when you use the strap on the flap.

The bag has a zipper compartment at the centre.
The bag handle is hand made using genuine leather.

As you can see, there are roomy pocket at the front and at the back of the bag.
They close with the magnetic hock.
The front pocket has one small pocket inside, and the back pocket has a zipper pocket inside.

Inside the zipper compartment are 2 pockets and one zipper pocket.

Size: W 31cm / H 15cm / D 10cm

SOLD thank you!

This is the mobile phone I am currently using(!).
I'm sure it is quite rare to see this type of mobile now a days.
But, I just don't see the need to have internet access on my phone as I don't go out much.
Mobile phone to me is just an emergency line.

Anyway, I'm now making a mini granny boston for a request.
I'll be working on the requested purse soon!

This is the "purse to go" made for the client in Japan.

Very roomy purse which can be carried like a bag.

This is the 2nd purse style bag I made for my friend.
The first one was requested by her family to leave behind.

I've used a simple dot inside.

This will be a lid of the sewing box I'm making this week.
It's for the customer who had visited me at the event and requested a specific design.
Two sewing boxes using this beautiful Liberty.
I've extended the design with embroidery.

This is the second one with the Liberty on the other side.

I've been quite busy after the event.
First I got rid of my hubby;s tax return

then I started cutting cards into parts
and assembled them into boxes.
I use 2mm thick cards for sewing box, so I need strength to cut them.
I'm making 6 boxes in one go.
Oh my hand...

And this is the purse bag I made for my friend.
She's going away in few days time, so I had to finish it by Saturday.
Hope she likes the colour.

This is the back side of the bag.
It has a zipper pocket which can fit in your passport, and a small zipper pocket for coins.

It has a zipper pocket at the centre, a pen holder, a pocket for notes, 2 point card pockets, and 8 card pockets.  It has a gathered pocket at the front for mobile phones.
You can use it like a purse, or

as a bag with your purse, keys, and mobile, etc.


I'm now making an accordion type purse bag for the client from Japan.

making tags

I'm making tags to put on my items.
I've hand written and scanned words in Japanese.
Don't worry there are English as well.
Thought it would add a character to my items!

It worked well and it smells like coffee!
