I made several clutch purses and gave them as Christmas gifts....thus, I got rave reviews and decided to work with fabrics and do some Retro feeling handbags for Spring and use them on http://www.wantzit2.etsy.com/.
I must say that just a short time into the project, I am enjoying the experiment. Let me know what you think.
The fabrics are my inspiration and I totally go out of control when I get to a fabric store and see colors, textures, etc. that I like.
This little Messenger Bag has a pretty creamy yellow lining and a pocket inside to hold your
importants.
Going Retro or Vintage seems to be my constant inspiration. See what you think about Grandma's quilt that I have upcycled. I will be adding other styles from this quilt.............don't want to waste it!
This is a quilt more than 100 years old! It was all yellowed and looked beyond help........OxiClean to the rescue. It is white and it's delicate colors are just devine. I have added extra padding to be sure than my bags hold their shape.
You can see the collection of one of a kind clutches and others at http://www.wantzit2.etsy.com/
More later.............
