All Bagged Up

I recently made this bag for a friend, it's a copy of her favourite handbag but given my denim patchwork treatment! I think she likes it! Hooray!

Table Tennis Trials

I was recently asked to make a cover for a friends well loved table tennis bat. I was provided with an outline of the bat and its old cover to work from.  We had a 'fitting' after my first attempt and thought that the cover needed more of a handle to it for a better grasp. So here it is in the last photo……. . . . 

Hello and Sorry!

It's been pretty poor on the blogging front, due to various reasons including: the Other Half's two shows, working on secret projects that I can't show you just yet, work, life..... I did make this little pouch though one morning for my specs when I got fed up with picking up and putting down my glasses every five mins (maybe it's time for bi-focals!)

Another Bear In A Bag

I said goodbye to a miniature bear today, I made a little bag for him out of a pair of pockets - take care little one!

Hello Sweetie!

I made this little bag for Noortje, a lovely lady from the Netherlands who has been working with us at Ryantown for the past 3 months - safe Journey home!

Inside Job

I made these bags yesterday, they weren't lined with calico like my first bag but with gingham and I managed to find magnetic fastners on a great handbag site called U-handbag, it's the first time I've ever used them hence the wonkiness! I thought it would be handy to have inner pockets too for small things - just happened to have some spare knocking around!

Bag It

I needed a bag, the posh one that the other half gave to me is getting worn and grimy due to the daily pounding it was getting, so I thought I'd better save it by making an everyday bag made from a durable and washable material (no prizes for guessing the type of fabric I chose!). This is sample one - poor Bernina struggled, going over 6 layers of denim at times made the stitching a bit iffy in places.

I am going to have to face the fact that I now need to get an industrial sewing machine and a bigger studio to keep my growing collection of sewing and knitting machines and other paraphernalia in! (jokes!)

Will I be O.K?

This bear hasn't been to Jamaica, but is on its way to Ramsgate to a lovely little girl called Leila-Zee. Leila-Zee will look after you my denim friend, bon voyage!
