Butterfly Garden Tote Bag


This is a new style for me. My own pattern. I will be selling my own handbag patterns shortly. This will be one of them. This bag has pockets surrounding the entire body front and back. It has double shoulder strap with a loop over a button closure. There are two buttons on the front and one on the back. I like to keep the same look for both sides. The inside is fully lined with additional pockets as well. Those are divided to hold are your personal needs. The bottom of the bag is firm so it will not sag when you put your items inside. The pattern is just full of color, with beautiful butterfly's and flowers for them to sit on. I added the sun yellow to accent the bag. The pockets on the inside are a bright blue.
This bag is available for purchase. For handbag patterns you will have to contact me.

Oriental Koy Fish Hobo Bag


This is a beautiful koy oriental hobo bag. The fabric is just amazing. It has touches of gold threw the entire bag. At the crisp line of the gold swirl I added a machine quilted stitch to give it some detail. The gold accent color is also in each of the fish. The back of the bag is a large double pocket with a velcro closure flap to keep everything secure. This bag is full of rich color, style and comfort. The hobo style bag is really a fabulous look in any fabric.
Inside of the bag has even more pockets to store all your personal things.

Wine Tote Bag


This is a new item for me. I will be making wine tote bags. On the planner will be single and double wine bottle holders.
This specific one is made for a friend. It is a double bottle holder with a double handle strap. The bottom of this bag is hard so the bottles will not sag when you lift it. The fabric is a heavy weight tapestry with a tropical design. The liner is a matching olive green. It has a divider inside that is a plastic base and covered with the liner fabric. This is to protect the bottles from hitting one another.
The closure is three strips of distressed leather. They are fed threw another piece of leather. At the end are wood beads to keep the leather from slipping threw. Perfect accent piece for this fabric.
More styles and colors will be coming.

Quilted A Shaped Tote Bag

Fabulous double shoulder strap with bronze look accent rings. The entire outside body of the bag is quilted with 2 1/2 inch strips. Many beautiful colors and patterns that compliment each other.


The handle is a double shoulder strap with added rings at the top of the straps. It has the appearance of a gathered bag. But the gathers are there to stay. They will not shift around on you. Great for added comfort.


The inside of this bag, picture shown, opens wide. It has a pocket to keep all your important things in place. The fabric for the liner is a beautiful shade of rose pink, with a faded floral design.
This bag is fabulous to throw and go.
Great style and colors for the lazy days of spring and summer.

Quilted Spring Tote Bag



This a wonderful quilted bag I made for a friend. It is a tote style in a block pattern with 2 1/2 strips of compliment fabrics. The handle is a double shoulder strap with a loop over a button closure.

Each side of the bag is tucked up with an added decrotive button. I pulled the same brown accent color to the closure button.

The liner is a beautiful shade of a red rose color with a print of a flower.

The inside has pockets.


This is a view of the back of the bag. I used one of the squares to give a pocket that would stay consistant with the theme of the bag.










I plan to make more of these bags. The quilted style is in right now. I would like to take it one step father then what you see everywhere else. A change.
