Bag with Twisted Cording Handle

This is another request from Mdm K. It is a rather spacious bag with twisted cording handle (thanks M for your efforts). I guess it is more comfortable to carry the bag on one's shoulder since the cording is not hard. The body was quilted using free motion quilting pattern.





The inside view - one simple pocket and on 1 side and 14" zippered pocket on the other.

Bag with Oval Wooden Handle

Bags are fast to make. This is the latest design we made last week. It is a simple pattern with straight line quilting.

The bag handles are available in dark brown (above) and light brown.

A Special Gift

The ladies from Indonesia who came to learn the handphone pouch last Saturday had made a request for us to sew a bag as a gift for their course facilitator. After discussing the design and selecting the fabrics (once again the small black polka dot is chosen), and negotiating the fee of course, here is the end product. A hand appliqued bag with wooden handle. It took us a few hours to hand applique the flowers and another 4-5 hours to assemble the body, free motion quilt, attach the lining and finally fit the handle.

I like the combination of these fabrics. Black is beautiful, don't you think so?

Thank you Wardah and Nelly for trusting us to create this beautiful gift. We hope the lady likes the bag.

Bags - Mother & Daughter 2

These bags design are simple yet when they are made using matching fabrics such as these two, they turned out really nice. Requested by a client for her mother as hari raya gift (in green). The bag is machine quilted using stippling design. Simple yet elegant. The handle is imported from the US.

The orange combination below is for the client herself, couldn't resist the temptation of having one! Thank you.

Sue Bonnet Tote

What can I say. Who doesnt love this Sue Bonnet applique. We made another tote using dark fabric.

Japanese themed bag

A client spotted this fabric on her first visit to the shop two weeks ago. A few days later she requested that I reserved the fabric for her. She wanted me to custom made a tote for her.

And here it is, a rather simple tote with gusset and external binding. Fully machine quilted. The toughest part is to finish the binding by hand!

A very Japanese looking bag.

Another client who saw the WIP also bought half a meter of this fabric. She too wanted to make a bag with the fabric but using a different design.

And guess what, the last half a meter of the fabric is also taken, gone! A friend came and saw us putting the final touch on the tote. She stayed on and learned a simple reversible bag. It was done in about 3 hours.

There it goes, a happy me and three happy clients.

Bag

This bag looks familiar? Yes, i had much earlier made a bag using the same fabrics. The client wants a smaller bag using the same fabric combination. What can I say! It looks cute.

Bag for Children

This tote is designed for children. It is rather spacious for a file and water thumbler. The outside pocket is adorned with little Sue reading a book. Can be custom made to suit your need. If you want to sew it yourself, we can assemble the kit for you, based on request.



There are also several Billy applique designs for boys.

Intensive Class for Miri Student

On Monday night when I was getting ready to leave, a lady came in and inquired regarding bag making class. After some explanation, she requested that I teach her within 1 day (11 to 6pm). I said it would be very taxing for you. But guess what, Pn. Jenab managed to complete her bag within 61/2 hours! A record so far for my student. She was very determined to complete it on Tuesday as she would be flying back to Miri the following night (that is tonite).

She chose to make the bag with the round handle. Her sewing skill and passion helped a lot....plus she made minor mistakes & best of all, no unpicking at all!

After 6 hours of hardwork, here she is posing with her new bag (some hand stitching yet to be done!). Overall, it was a day well spent.

See you again during the next school holiday.
