Finally got round to bag photos!

Sorry to all that have asked me for bag photos! Have finally got around to it! I saw a friend who was making bags so I re-invented a pattern of my own incorporating the plastic idea and started sewing like mad!I have developed three sizes (only the small "handbag" size and the medium size are featured in these photos) there is a bigger size (kind of beach bag size) but these are a mission to sew so I am still working on them! The first two photos shows my latest addition - adding button clasps to "handbag" sized bags. I am also making small baby towel for the baby bags and matching fabric/plastic changing mats that roll up for something a little extra in a baby bag. I have recently designed my own pattern for a little "handbag" pouch (perfect for carrying lippies and tissues) these are made from matching fabrics and should be posted on the blog in the next week. I am trying to avoid using fabrics more than once (sometimes I use them again but change the inside fabric or the size of the bag) so everyones bags is a one off unique creation! Hopefully I will have some more people who have a different bag for every day of the week like I do!
Hope you enjoy!

This handbag closes with a funky big button for a little something different!!

This bag was developed with a specialised stethoscope pocket for busy nurses!

I call this bag the "Busy Garden"! These colours look awesome under the plastic!

Some of my latest favourite Amy Butler "Daisy Chain" fabric, all her fabric looks amazing and very unique as a bag!

Nothing like Dorothy and Wizard of Oz, this is my work handbag!

This fabric is the most popular, I have more of it and every time it has a different lining, always comes up beautifully!

I am a cupcake fanatic, I have heaps of this fabric and this one comes with a little cupcake bag charm (shown in the photo above)

Another one of my favourites, monochrome always comes up really well in the bags!

Book Layouts

I finally got around to my first post! Just wanted to add some photos of 2 of my most popular layouts, the medium soft cover layout and the large hard cover with dust jacket layout. These give you an idea of the products and what they look like in real life. I often provide clients with the book as a slideshow version on a DVD and it is sometimes hard to get the image of what the actual book looks like! 

The three pictures above are the medium soft cover book ( is shown as the open book in the first 2 photos in size comparison to the large size hard cover book). This is great for trip photos or as a brag book as it is small enough to fit in your handbag. Although it doesn't have the dust jacket presentation or the hard cover book it is a nice alternative!

These four photos above are of my most popular layout request. This the the full sized (28.5cm x 22.5cm) hard cover book with glossy dust jacket. This book is great for a professional presentation of your favourite photos from a trip, family occasion or just to present your best photos in a more professional way. The title of the book is etched in silver onto the actual cover so it can be displayed without the dust jacket if required. The layout of the pages is just one option of many different layouts offered. This one is based on a photo "tile" and I find it a good one for holiday snaps as it fits many photos on one page. 

Hope you enjoy, I will be posting photos of the calender and card options very soon!
