News From the Wilds of My Studio!

-

There are a thousand different kinds of bamboo. 

And seven different kinds of leopard.

But only one of these…

My newest bag!

I used a rich golden yellow mid century barkcloth that has a flower and leaf motif, including pink and black bamboo!  I love the little pops of turquoise as well-so 1950’s.  The retro style of this bag is one of my favorite designs, and I love the combination of this smashing vintage barkcloth, black plastic bamboo handles, pink vintage buttons-and leopard print lining!

Because there’s no such thing as too much leopard!

 

Or is there?

  5. Valerie! hahahahahahahaha. Too funny. I lovelovelove your purse! You did an awesome job on it. My ydd, the fashionista, made a purse so similar to it about 5 years ago but it was a quilted fabric. She stopped using it so I took it over. I loved that purse to death. It isn't dead but she wanted it back when I was done. I should get it again and put in in a post, huh? hahahahhaha. Thank you for your fun and nice and sweet comments to me, every time!!!

  7. Valarie, you are so talented! My mom and aunt are very good with all things quilting/sewing/overall crafting, but I'm afraid it skipped a generation. Although, as a youth, I could do a mean latch hook...I envy you talented people! By the way, it's a gorgeous bag! :-)

  8. LOL what a fun post. That bag is beautiful. You are amazingly talented. I can't sew...period. I can't even hem well and so, I look at what you create with wondrous eyes. I agree with others about the handles...nicely done and a perfect fit for the look of the bag.

    Of course, you had to toss in some great pictures to make me giggle. Much appreciated:~)
