2 more new bags for the show

Just finished the big black bag.

There's one zipper pocket at the back. 

The inside fabric is Japanese print, and has one zipper pocket. 

This is the second bag I finished making yesterday.
It's a simple small granny bag. 

Different design for the other side. 

Beautiful Japanese fabric for the inside.

small shoulder bag

This is the smaller size of the shoulder bag.
I used many different vivid colour fabrics all over to make it fun!

This is the back side of the bag. 

This side pocket has 2cm depth, to allow more room. 

Despite the narrowness of the side, it will fit mobile phone easily. 

I have used a Japanese fabric inside, and has 2 pockets.
There is one pocket at the front below the flap.

Sashiko and sashiko

I have been stitching away since last night.
This one is my next  bag, and I am doing sashiko on this design with the batting at the back.
That's why the stitch gives the fabric a unique texture.

This is the designed fabric without batting.  See how the fabric stays flat.
I like it like this as well, but I will use the batting for the main parts of the bags as it will give more feature to the bag.

This is the second design with grey base fabric.
Most thread I use are for sashiko, but I do use normal embroidery thread for colours I don't have.
