Once again I’ve sewn this design – this time out of dark blue faux leather and a cotton canvas with an Aztec print. I now regret that I didn’t make a removable shoulder strap. As some of you suggested – this bag would look great as a large clutch. The changes are minor compared to […]

Greeting spring with a new handbag
Bright green? Why not! 🙂 The weather encourages to reach for fabrics in bolder colors. I’ve made this bag from a green faux leather and a cotton woven fabric from Robert Kaufman’s “Fancy Flight” collection. I had trouble with finding a leather thread in the matching color, but the white one works really well. This […]
My kind of perfect shopper bag
You already know this design – I’ve refined the prototype, and sewn another bag from black faux leather. It was a little more difficult to make than the last one, but on the other hand faux leather always gives more store-bought look – which is always nice. In the black version I added another zippered […]
Shopper bag prototype
I made a prototype of a new bag. This is not something unusual – I always do that. Usually, however, I sew them from substitute materials, and do not finish them up. This time I decided to make an exception, because I was eager to see what the final product could look like. Sewing a […]
Floral hobo bag – the last blast of summer
The Summer has fled, it’s cold and dreary outside. On such days you instinctively reach for dark colors to fit in with the surroundings. I would write that to fight that dismal aura, I made a colorful handbag, but the truth is that the bag was sewed two months ago 😐 I just didn’t have […]
Small, gray bag – perfect for summer
Faux leather is a great fabric. It doesn’t need a lot of preparation for things made with it to look good. If you’re making a bag from a woven fabric, it’s crucial to stiffen it with the right interfacing. But in country where I live – Poland, there isn’t much of a choice when it […]
Handmade tote bag
I like large bags – you can carry all the “necessary” things with you and still have room for small shopping 🙂 I made this bag of polyester woven fabric in 3 colors. The fabric was laying around and I finally decided to use it, but I admit that it wasn’t the best choice. The […]
Purple bag and Vilene Decovil interfacing
You know this bag already 🙂 This is te same model as the green-navy blue one. Of course I used other fabrics, but it is not the only difference. The handbag was stiffen in a different way, so it gained a more box-like character. As a stiffening I used Vilene Decovil interfacing. This is a […]
Green – dark blue handbag with decorative scalloped edge
Today will be short – a new handbag, how do you like it? I used Ikea cotton and added dark blue faux leather. I think it looks quite unique. The bag is perfect size – not too big, not too small. There is a pocket with a zipper and two patch pockets inside. It has […]
Colorful, large wallet
This time a new project was dictated by a need. My old wallet (also sewn by me) looked very bad at this point, so I definitely needed a new one. My new wallet is bigger and really comfortable to use. It has everything I need – a large compartment for coins, pocket for notes and […]
