Some Assembly Required...

Brynwood Needleworks - Bag Making Components

The fabric I've been waiting for arrived Monday, so I spent today preparing it, along with a few others for my current bag projects. These will become BW Nocturne Travel Bags, and I'll be creating BW Ensemble Hobo bags to match. I pulled all the hardware I'll need, and put my new custom zipper pulls on the zipper tapes. I'm going to add key fobs, featuring my Brynwood logo hardware, too.
 
The bird fabric (on the top of the fabric pile) was a request from my sister, Di - a belated Christmas gift, and one of the batiks is for a good friend. We did a little bartering. The map fabric and the other turtle batik will be for my shop when they're finished.

I still have to cut out linings and coordinating cork accents, after I get home from my PT appointment this morning. I'm expecting to start sewing on Friday, and will have everything finished over the weekend. I've missed my bag making, so this is going to be fun!

    Beautiful bird fabric. Reminds me of William Morris. Looking forward to seeing the end results. Have fun.

      Hi Charlene:
      I agree! It reminds me of "Strawberry Thief" by Morris. I got your email and will respond privately. Big Hugs,

    The fabrics are beautiful. It will be nice to see the bags you make. You give me inspiration to want to sew some bags again too. I redesign old embroideries into new bags. I have a lot of old embroideries which peope don't want anymore. They was given to a flea market organized by the Norwegian Mission Society. But there are few who want to buy them, so I get them to make bags out of them. Then they are sold at Norwegian Mission Society's Christmas market.
