Friday Finds: Shades of Teal

Teal is one of my favorite colors. I love it in all shades and hues --possibly prefer it more on the blue side...at least for today.  Which is why I was SUPER excited when I found this Teal Blue leather!  And it's distressed, too!  *Swoon!*

Although I've made only one Hip Pocket in this beautiful leather, keep an eye out for more designs coming soon. The Baby Ruche may be next because it's my next batch of bags to make and ship by next week! Fortunately, I'm a little ahead of my sewing schedule because I worked a couple hours overtime yesterday to finish all the fabric Travelers that shipped out today.

I haven't had a lot of time to make new bags because of the current queue but no worries, I'll be working overtime in the next few weeks and you'll see a new bag design (that I designed over six months ago) that will be launched, along with new leather colors and fabrics. :)

And now, to the featured picks of the day from some of my favorite Etsy sellers!

More Margot Bianca Batiks!

I've added more bags in batik!

This fabric is handmade by one of my favorite Etsy sellers, Margot Bianca. She applies wax in a particular design to the fabric, dyes it with rich colors, and then boils out the wax to create these wonderful and very functional batiks!

Spring 2009 Sneak Preview

Whew, the holidays brought many nights of sewing great leather bags! Thanks to all of you for supporting my budding business. You're making an investment in my future career (I'm hoping!). With the economy in its state, I think it may be a bit difficult finding an engineering job, so...accessories it is! :)

Moreover, I've had some time to work on the upcoming Spring 2009 collection. This spring will bring many bags bearing the beautiful batik fabric of the wonderful and talented Margot Bianca. Talk about alliteration. Some of you may know her from her feature on Etsy before Thanksgiving. I fell in love with her wonderfully functional batiks, I had to incorporate them into the new spring line! I'm very excited about our collaboration!

I hope you are, too!

Pouches clad in beautiful batik and close with pearl snaps.


Lacquered bamboo rings make for easy carrying on barefoot walks on the beach!


They stand up all on their own! Interfaced with an extra layer of natural cotton canvas for increased strength and durability! Holds its shape nicely.


Lined with soft brushed natural cotton canvas. If you have a recent bag, not sure if you've noticed the season and year indicated on the back of the tag. You can follow my improvements as the seasons pass!

Look for a spring preview sale at the end of January! :)
