soft like a baby's bottom...hee-hee

i found some great quilted place mats at savers (thrift store) and when combined with my re:use stash i came up with these soft purses for my collection of fabric (eco-friendly) bags. chosen for their bright colors there's something very comfy-cozy about them. i love them!

the green blackbird purse has a strap made from a white/green/tan striped canvas belt, which i printed a tree on. the inside and outside of the purse has pockets made of reclaimed suede and the exterior decorated with a blackbird and flowers (kept closed with velcro). the purse closes on top with a silk cord and big vintage button.

dimensions: 12" x 8" and strap is 22"

the sunshine purse is a soft yellow omelet shaped bag and it's strap is made from a vintage silk necktie. the inside is a brown floral pattern and outside is a bright yellow (w/ white polka-dots) with it's resident skunk smelling some flowers.

dimensions: 13" x 7" and strap is 22"

they are both oh-so perfect for holding everything you need and more...beautiful, sturdy, washable and eco-friendly!!!

just the necessities please....

trying to lighten your load? i am....so i've started making these one-of-a-kind suede clutch(s). they are the perfect size.... it's big enough to carry around all your everyday necessities. it's made 100% from reclaimed material from the re:use market here in boise, id. this bag measures approx. 12.5" x 8.5". bag has a zippered top and a little handy-dandy key ring. the inside is lined with silk and each one i make has a personality all it's own. very sturdy, beautiful, and eco-lovely!
