Back with a ba(n)g

Here is another bag that I made.. 100% cotton, 100% hand stitched.. lol.. This idea had been slowly germinating in my mind for a really long time and finally I got so impatient to see this bag in my hands rather than just in my mind that I didn't even take pictures of it during the making..

This bag was, like my two previous projects, completed in one day..

Found a bird's nest in my garden today and thought it would be a good addition to my dressing table :D

My glammed up phone..

I didn't have a phone up here in the library.. So I hunted around for some spare ones I knew we had and found this white one.. Thinking it looked a little plain, I decided to glam it up some :)

And some close ups..





Actually, all that glitter is a nice coppery color.. But it didn't show up too well in the pictures, did it?

Mission Tiny Blue Clutch

I've wanted a tiny clutch, just big enough to hold my phone and some cash for a long time.. and I decided to make one today.. I used some denim from a pair of jeans I no longer wear and some fabric glitter glue for the embellishment.. This was made in under an hour!!

The strip of denim that transformed into my clutch..

It's ready..

.. and in action.

With the butterfly embellishments..

Mission Big Black Bag

I'm not a star at Home Ec. and that's a well known fact :) But I've wanted a big, black bag for a really long time now and though I knew how to make it, I hadn't done it yet.. Today at around 2pm, I suddenly wanted to make that bag and once I decide I want something bad enough, I waste no time in getting it.. So, here's how the bag was made.. in just 6 hours.. Beat that :)

The fabric is cut and ready to be stitched.

The first stitches..

The strap goes on next..

Voila.. My very own big black bag :)

The bag in action ;)

Unfortunately, the ancient VGA camera on my cell phone doesn't do the bag justice.. sigh..
