The Maria Denmark Lotta Lady Bag
I loved your guesses as to what I was making in my last post! and I loved how you were "getting warmer" with each guess.
Cake cover ? No.
Sewing machine cover? No.
Cat bed? Well, it did look like a cat bed at one point in the process, but no.
Piece of luggage, like a carry-on? Anna Christina, it turned out much larger than I thought it would so yes, it could be a carry-on, though that wasn't the original intention.
Handbag? YES! Ding ding ding, Tomasa, you are the winner! But you also had insider knowledge (offline chatting about making a bag) so.....
The outer "fabric" is actually two layers....both from Kashi and both with a story I will share next post!
And what makes it so stiff? Peltex.
Deets next post.
Be well!
Stunning bag Kyle. Simply stunning.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Maria!
DeleteVery impressive - can't wait for more details !
ReplyDeleteI just wrote the mega post tonight--please check it out!
DeleteI want these cutout fabrics you're finding.
ReplyDeleteAwesome texture.
Kashi at Metro Textiles in NYC can hook you up!
DeleteI want this bag girl! Love it! What pattern did you use!?
ReplyDeleteThanks! It's the Maria Denmark Lotta Lady bag--it's a digital pattern.
DeleteI missed your last post, so I didn't know you were sewing a bag. Know what's strange, though? I was looking at bag patterns to try and create something similar to the other bag you made with this fabric. Get out of my mind woman! Or maybe I should get out of yours. =)
ReplyDeleteHa ha ha! This fabric is actually different than the last two bags I made--maybe I should do a "group portrait" of all my bags??
DeleteYour bag is just fab.u.lous! Yes, I had some insider info. :) although to be honest, I wasn't 100% sure looking at the photo that that was the bag we were chatting about. It really did look like a sewing machine cover in that photo. Anyway, your bag is beautiful! Great job!
ReplyDeleteI agree. it does have that sewing machine cover look to it!
DeleteLove that bag! What a great job... can't wait for the details.
ReplyDeleteThanks! I just wrote the mega post about it, check it out!
DeleteI am so impressed! You make the most amazing and professional bags! Have you ever thought about doing your own ASE or Craftsy class? I would be the first to sign up.
ReplyDeleteThanks Anna Christina! That's really flattering! Craftsy has a "design your own bag" class that I bought and never watched.
DeleteThis bag looks so professional-it will certainly go with many of your lovely work outfits. I wonder if I could make one in vinyl so it would be washable? Then use it at the barn to carry just a few supplies back and forth. As always Kyle, your work inspires. :-)
ReplyDeleteWow Mary, what a sweet comment! Yes, you can totally make this in vinyl. Mine is neoprene and pleather on the outside, so I think I could hose mine down. and the fact that the zipper is half way down each side means it is super easy to see everything inside.
