I am preparing for next weekend's Art and Design Market at Pioneer Hall, Wollongong. I have sewn some fun and funky handbags from vintage tea towels. These are seriously cute! Mostly they date from the 70s so are genuinely retro.
I also have a range of bags made from old embroidered and chrocheted doilies and tray cloths. Its so lovely to give these handmade cloths a new lease of life. I have been collecting them for ages and have finally found a great way to use them. Lined in bright cottons or corduroys they become cute and one of a kind handbags or iPad bags.
And naturally I have some Art to Wear brooches to sell.
I am also running a give away promotion. If you Like my DarlingBridget facebook page by Friday 16 September you can go in the draw to win a DarlingBridget silk purse.
Cute bags
ReplyDeleteHi Jodie, thanks for saying hi on my blog :) You won't believe it but I'm just finishing some bags pretty similar to yours for a shop order this week! I love your colourful handles; mine are all bamboo circles.
ReplyDeleteI have used some bamboo but like the acrylic ones. I hope you put pics on your bags on your blog so I can have a look. Thanks for stopping by.
ReplyDeleteSee you there!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for coming by and liking my embroidered doily bag! More importantly, inviting me to check your bags out. They are beautiful. I am glad to see I am not the only one recycling all that exquisite embroidery.
