More prototyping


I made this new handbag for myself about 6 weeks ago now, and I've been carrying it around and testing it out ever since. It's the perfect size to fit everything that I need to carry around on a daily basis.


I decided to try a slightly larger version today using a lovely Umi Komache fabric panel teamed with macrosuede.

This one will be for sale at the market on Saturday....

    Oh... the Umi Komache panel bag is terrific. It looks like a great size for my digital camera which has long lenses. I'm really excited to hear how the market goes! You've got so much stock!

    They are great Cam. I'm a macrosuede fan!

    I got a sample book at the Op Shop a while ago & have been using it for music box lids. I'm pretty mean with it though...I don't ever want to run out.

    That bag will be snapped up quick smart.

    I love the second one. Is it big enough to fit a laptop in? I really need something for university.
