Little bags

Hi there, I haven't posted for a little while but I still have been busy creating more artworks for my Etsy shop :) 



I am also trying to expand the range of my products and I have been playing with a few ideas for a while.  One idea that I really liked was to make bags.  It would still allow me to use my embroidery skills to decorate them and  I would have the opportunity to play with fabric patterns and colours…  

So lately, I have been working on a few bags designs.  I have concentrated my focus on little bags only. They can be used as new baby gift bags, Christmas stocking fillers etc. 
I just wanted to share with some pictures with you. 


The first batch was a mini tote bag design with appliqué. The appliqués have been made with the free embroidery technique. 








The second batch is made of mini drawstring bags.   For these models, I focused on new baby gift bag. The blue one will be a gift for a little boy born not so long ago. It has his name hand embroidered on it.  The second one I made is for little girls. This model is fully lined and the string casing has been sewn on the exterior of the bag. I have embroidered a little pink heart (free motion embroidery) on the front. 







I am very happy with them and I am really considering starting to sell them online. The design possibilities are infinite and it is really great to make something nice and useful :)
