1-2-3-Go!!!

So last week for Handmade Monday I was a bit rubbish. I was part way through making things and didn't have photos! This week I know the score :) So here are the last 2 weeks makes ...Grey swirl bucket bag - the black swirls are lovely and velvety. The flower is a brooch made mostly from leather and ribbon and can be repositioned or worn on a jacket.
Pink romance bucket bag - again a lovely velvety feel! The brooch is made from leather, cloth and ribbon and again can be repositoned etc.
This bag I'm especially pleased with as I made the handles too! They are brown leather piped and I just love them!

The top two bags are commissions and are off to live with their lovely new owner tomorrow. The bottom bag will be added to my shop shortly!

Hope you like my latest work!

  2. I'm not sure I could pick a favourite! I can see why you would be pleased with the handles they really set it off.

  6. I love these! Love the brooches that can be moved. Very creative and pretty. I admit, I have been thinking of trying my hand at a fabric purse, because I made some paper mache buttons last week (yes, that's how my brain works, a few paper mache buttons, and suddenly it's a purse!) But, these are making me rethink, they are so beautiful, I already feel out of my league! You are awesome. Wish I lived closer. This Homemade Monday is the first thing that has made me wish I didn't live "across the pond"... Well, anyway, I love the gold one, wish it had a brooch!

  9. Well done on the commissions. I absolutely love the first one, it's really elagant. Like the idea of the removable flowers.

  10. Well done on the handles, that's a real achievement. The bags look brilliant and the removable flower is a brilliant idea.
    The second is my favourite, purely because of the colour.

  11. Really pleased you all like them and thankyou for all your comments. I always struggle to part with my bags - especially now that I'm getting better at them. The person who bought the top two had intended to just buy one. When she saw the choice of fabrics she couldn't decide between those two so ordered one of each, planning to choose when she got them and give the other as a gift to her mum. She still can't decide and may keep them both! Out of the three I'm not sure which my favourite is either actually - although I do love the handles on the third alot ALOT!
