I just love making bags because each one is unique...that's
the great thing about using salvaged
materials--the possibilities are endless, it seems.

This is a fold-over tote I recently added
to the shop.
It's made of tough canvas from an old army
duffel bag, and has short leather handles as well as
a removable leather shoulder strap.
An outer zippered pocket creates the fold line
for the fold-over top part of the bag,
and the other side has two large open pockets,
great for stashing phone or keys.

I'm planning on keeping the sewing machine
busy over the weekend...and getting
some pie crust dough made for those
Thanksgiving pumpkin pies.
Hope you have a good weekend!

Hi Deb - you're so clever. I've been meaning to ask you how you manage to sew the leather handles on? You must have an industrial strength sewing machine to handle that?!
ReplyDeleteHi Lilian,
DeleteI just have a Viking Platinum 715, which is able to sew through the handles. The leather I buy is supple and about 1/8" thick...Deb
Lovely work Deb. The colours go together so well.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
I love it! I always love all of your creations! :)
ReplyDeleteThis is really lovely!
ReplyDeleteLove the age on that fabric. Just wonder where it's been in its life...
ReplyDeleteHi deb, you are so talented, the bag is just lovely xxBrenda
ReplyDeleteReally nice bag! I love up-cycling too but haven't tried working with leather yet. I'm inspired!
