Matryoshka story bag

This is a very small purse bag.
Size: W 25-19cm, H 15cm, D 5cm
The leather handle can be taken off if you want to store it in the bag.

The bag has a story of Matryoshka and a mischievous deer.
Deer in Japanese is "shika", that it thinks it's also a part of Matryoshka.
So it somehow takes the place of third Matryoshka, and pretends that it's the third Matryoshka.


This is the back side of the purse where you find the third matryoshka, looking surprised and displeased.


I have cross stitched a deer on the side just for an accent.
I will put this bag in Etsy until 7 May as I will put it in Japanese Auction from 7th.

This is my new bag with my new idea : )
It has a story to its front pocket.
My first story is this shy boy and his new friend.
Boy's name is Loui, and he has a true black hair with a bit shy nature.
He loves sketching so he goes out to sketch in a hill and meets with his new friend.
He names it "Shiro"(means white in Japanese. Very typical name to put on a white dog).

I have hand stitched the bottom of the bag just for an extra character.

The front pocket is fastened with velcroe.

It has 4 deep pockets inside.

The zipper comes down a bit to allow more easy access to inside.

The bag is on Auction from today.

soft casual shoulder bag

This is the new type of shoulder bag to use casually.
I have used quilt batting all over so it's very soft outside and inside.
Even pockets and the handle has a batting inside.


This is the back side of the bag.

This is the inside of the backside pocket, and it has 3 card pockets, and is fastened by velcroe.

The front pocket is also fastened by velcroe.

This is the inside of the bag, and it has a zipper pocket on one side, and one pocket with velcroe on the other side.

The bag is on auction from today.

a new face

It's a seagal in freo. : )
I always love how they fight for chips, and I though I just make it a character of my new bag.
The design of the bag will be very casual with lots of pockets.
I will be working on it today.

The strap is length adjustable to shoulder length, to

I have just deleted all my items from Etsy as I was offered to display them in the Gallery in Sydney. Hope they get more attention there!
