new custom svelte handbags

This sweet little custom clutch features a photo that I took of my nephew, Nash, this summer. It's perfect for a grandma, don't you think? It has all kinds of pockets inside, and one that's zippered on the outside which is great for a cell phone and other important papers, or even your keys. And it's made from recycled fabrics!


Here's another custom clutch, made to go with a tote bag. It turned out great, which is usually what happens when people say, "just make whatever you think is good". Somehow I always end up doing a little more, like adding an extra pocket, because you can never have too many!

svelte handbag update

Here are the reasons my blog hasn't been updated lately... A patchwork diaper bag with changing pad and clutch for my friend Jennifer, who is an interior designer and her little guy, Mac.


It has two big zippered pockets and three more pockets on the other side, along with a hook for keys or a pacifier.

And this gorgeous tote bag, which is going to be a carry-on bag for my friend Michelle. She chose the fabrics, and gave me a kick in the pants, and here it is! It has a zipper at the top and a wide strap that goes over her shoulder or across her body.

I'm working on another one right now that is destined for Chicago... It's called a "city bag".
