handmade handbag - alya's 2nd lavender...completed

i have just completed alya's 2nd lavender.  click here for ealier post on this bag when it was first constructed.  i changed the lining to add more interest.  i also added a few rows of stitches to the leather trimming.  i love the effect and the combination of this leather with the fabric that alya has chosen for this bag.  i also did some quilting on the outer shell.

handmade handbag - another lavender for alya

i made another lavender for alya.  she chose this fabric herself.

it is a simple no fuss boxy shaped sling bag with single compartment.

the lavender is customised to fit her tablet phone.
the long strap is made of genuine leather.

it has magnetic snap button.
the outer fabric was purchased from pondok craft
 and the fabric for the lining is from ikea.

that's my favourite fossil purse used as a prop for this photo.
i am trying to develop a prototype of this fossil purse,
 using fabrics and simple leather trimmings.
 i will use magnetic snap button instead for the closure
because  i found that
the snap button on this fossil purse wears out over time.
the purse flap came undone with a slight nudge.

so, this lavender is TAKEN.  i will be finalizing a few prototypes for lavender and i hope the lavenders will be made available for sale soon at the kopai boutique.

cheers,

handmade handbag - sling bag

i've been busy with the kids and the house.  and i love every minute of it.  and in between the kids and the house, i managed to steal a few minutes here and there to do some sewing.

here is one of the stuff that i was working on the past few weeks.

prototype of lavender:

my daughter, lisa, asked me to make her a small sling bag...just enough to fit her mobile phone and her purse......and maybe her keys.  she has been searching for such a bag but has not been able to find one that she really like.

she chooses the fabric swatches for the patchwork (some of this fabric looks familiar, isn't it?) and i choose the fabric for the lining.

dimesion:  8" (W) x 5 1/2" (H) x 2" (D)
single long strap: 51" (adjustable), genuine leather

now this bag is with lisa.  and she looks so adorable with this fun and colourful bag.

i had such a great time taking photos of the bag and had an even more efficient time uploading these photos in this blog.  thank you so much my wonderful darling hubby for getting me this really cool and fantastic camera.  no more painful editing of photos taken from mobile phone camera :)
