Thistle and Bramble

I received very "urgent" last minute requests this morning for 2 custom vinyl backpacks. I was very clear I was short on time but was promised they would be happy with whatever I could get sewn up. So here I present you with my 2 latest bags... Please note I find it very ironic that getting my girls to actually do remote learning is the ultimate battle but they have no problem playing school with their dolls #motherofdaughters #girlmom #momsinbusiness #dolls #pretendplay #dontlookatmystitching #5minutesew #lockdowndays #coviddays

I think this bag is one of my all time favorite builds so far (well, out of my purse builds anyways)It's rather simple and yet full of details with those straps and middle seams. It is made with a vegan leather/vinyl outside and the interior is made with cotton/Lycra (which is the sweary fabric again lol so I will post the interior picture in the comments again) **As an aside- you may have noticed I have started stating where my fabrics are sourced from and tagging those comp...anies in my posts; I am doing this to give credit and to show support to other Canadian businesses (I source all of my supplies within Canada). We all need to stick together and help where we can, especially during these uncertain times Vegan leather/vinyl is again from Restwell Upholstering Co. Inc. Interior sweary fabric is from PWF-Pixel Weave Fabrics . . . . . #shoplocal #supportlocal #womeninbusiness #womenempoweringwomen #makersgonnamake #keepamallbusinessalive #sharethelove #womeninbiz #handmadepurse #bags #baglover #sewist #sew #sewistsofinstagram #sewsewsew #moonwakehandbag

To say 2020 has been difficult is an understatement; My family and I are wishing you ALL of the things that bring you peace and joy in the new year.

Another Christmas gift; this one was made for my amazing friend. She is heading off to grad school in the next year and I figured she needed a nice bag to carry her laptop and notes in . The interior divider has a fun "sweary" detail to commiserate with her on the frustrating days lol (I will add a picture in the comments so those who don't care for cursing do not have to look at it ) This messenger style bag is made from vegan leather/vinyl and the feather accent is full... grain leather,interior is lined with cotton. Vegan leather/vinyl is from Restwell Upholstering Co. Inc. , Leather is from my stash Cotton liner is from Blue Heron Quilts and divider is from PWF-Pixel Weave Fabrics . . . . . . #handmadechristmas #handmadegift #thistle_and_bramble #handmadepurse #womeninbusiness #canadianmaker #leathercraft #bags #messengerbag #gradschool #makersgonnamake #shoplocal #shopsmall
