I entered!!! I hope I win! LOL … seems like LOTS of people LOVE your work!!! you’re so damn talented!
I love your bags, do you have patterns? or do you just sell the bags? You would do very well with the patterns. I just found your blog and have been scrolling through it for the first time so if somewhere you have information about your bags I’ve just not found it yet. I work with Paintstiks and can see some wonderful fabric painted and then bags made from it. I have painted/stenciled webbing to use for handles, usually matching the painted fabric. I love bags, and have made many and teach some simple ones at my favorite shop. Please let me know about the pattern availability. Thanks Mary
Hi Mary,
I’m so glad you like my bags! I know other people do too! I hadn’t thought about doing a pattern, as I think they are petty basic, once you know basic bag building info…I know that I have plans in the future to do a tutorial or 2, to increase traffic to my blog and basically give back to a community that I’ve learned so much from. So stay tuned for that 😉
My fabric is dyed with Procion mx fiber reactive dyes, not painted. Again, it’s pretty simple low water immersion dyeing…but of course, it’s being able to predict and repeat a specific hue & texture, and that is years of practice and literally 100’s of yards of dyed fabric.
Thanks for your kudos!
