Here Comes the Sun!

I just finished this large yellow cozy bag--and I'm in love with the colors and offbeat look.

I hand sewed a large vintage 80's piece of jewelry on the flap, and I was thrilled that it coordinated with the circles on the black cotton lining. The used yellow on the inside pocket to micmic the yellow fur (and it's also easier to see inside the pocket). The inky black handle and flap are made with faux suede--

I double or triple stitch all my seams in these large bags for extra durability, and of course, all the seams are nicely finished. This bag will truly be different in every way.

What a a fun, funky bag!

Royal Blue Elephant Ganesh Scarf

I think this is the scarf I want to make a bag out of first. Isn't this a lovely royal blue?

And I love the elephants...I'm told that the elephant is Ganesh.

That lovely border part will look so cool at the top of the bag. I'll be shoring up this fabric with some sturdy denim or broadcloth so the bag will be able to stand lots of wear.

I'll post the finished product!

It Reminds Me of Ketchup and Mustard

I love colors, and I think this bag is really cute, I especially love that red button that I think goes perfectly with black and mustard yellow. And the handles are a wonderful faux leather!

I especially love the lining, how perfectly it goes with the colors of the purse--andy khaki goes with almost anything!

The Most Beautiful Button in the World (to me)

The most beautiful button in the world to me (as you must expect) is flashy, bright, noticeable, ostentatious, colorful and big.

Not surprising, uhmmm?

Well, I had this lovely, large button for a while and I kept trying to match it up. It's funny, but you can choose a piece of fabric this is the exact colors of a button, and it can look horrible together.

I can't explain it, but I get a kind of !ping! in my head when a combination looks right. The other night, I finally matched up a humdinger of a combo and I wanted to share it with you.

Thanks for paying attention to my blather. I've had fun. :)
