handmade bag - finally, my mom's bag

this is the final trimming i added on to the bag. i know maybe some of you guys won't like the look of this bag. my cousin ida said she couldn't believe that i actually made the bag because it was so unlike me. well, like i said it is not easy to choose the combo for my mom. my mom's taste in colour is unique and somewhat weird in a cute kinda way. i always find that even though i dislike them at first, over time i find them fascinating and intriguing. i would say if my mom were a fashion designer, she would create something like those created by vivienne westwood.  so, this is how the bag looks like, front view.

and this how the bag look from the side (nampak macam angry bird kan?). honestly, i am already so intrigued by this combo. i couldn't believed that i could make something like this. my daughter said "it is so like uwan". yes, i think so too.

hope mak will like this bag.

i am making more ayu bags and a skirt too

i'm back from ipoh. i am down with sore throat and i have been quiet since my last post. but, my fingers are busy, busy, busy.....cutting leathers and organising the cut leather pieces for my next ayu bags. as mentioned earlier, i'll be making one for my mom. the challenge now is to choose the fabric that is perfect for my mom. i am also cutting the leather pieces to make 3 more ayu bags. isn't that too ambitious of me? we'll see.

next, i want to work on a few new designs. again.....isn't that too ambitious? anyways, i have received a request from a friend of my sister. she would like me to make her a long skirt....like the one featured in my earlier post. since i have not uploaded the "how to take your measurement", i will need to bring her to my place and get her measurement myself. since she is going to be my first customer, i am going to give her a promotional discount.

cheers,

i took my new bag for a spin yesterday

the inside of the bag is uncomplicated and has just the right depth. you can fish out whatever you have thrown inside the bag in a hurry.

i really love the way the bag slung over my shoulder. it gave an appealing slimming effect. and the slim width of the long strap does not exert excessive friction. your shirt will not get tucked backwards as the bag moves while you walk.

the short double handles snug nicely and comfortably inside the relaxed grip of your palm when you decide to "jenjeng" (did i spell it right?) the bag. and i can just drop the long sling strap off my shoulder and grab the short handles with one swift move.

in short, this bag knows what i want it to do. it deciphers my cue instantly. i love, love, love this bag.

cikgu hanim said, it has the colour of raspberry and cream and vanilla. maybe i will name this bag, raspberry cream. and it is almost impossible to recreate the same raspberry cream. if i were to make another bag like this, it will not be the same. sama tapi tak serupa :)

ada yang nak tempah bag ini? silalah email....thesewingroomdiva@gmail.com
