Hey! Do you want someone to make you a bag???

Occassionally I get requests for handmade bags, which I used to do all the time, but now I am just too busy designing patterns and fabric.

So I decided to do a little highlight on a wonderful handbag-making blogworld friend, so you could get your hands on some of her great handmade stuff!

This person was the author of the zippered pocket tutorial you can see on this blog, just under the Onesie dress tutorial.
Here's a little bit more about her.

I’ve been sewing since I was about 4, starting with doll clothes. From about 8^th grade on I made clothes for me and my sisters, including wedding dresses. I got into making bags and accessories 3 years ago after I retired and my husband had a stroke. I didn’t need more clothes but I had to stay close to home taking care of him. My real love is the fabrics and it’s been fun and good therapy creating useful things that people seem to like. My other favorite thing to do is spend time with family—lots of sisters and brothers, four sons, and 9 grandchildren.

Here's a picture of Christine and her lovely family! That's her in the middle. (Pale pink shirt)
Great family, Huh?

Here are a couple of samples of her work:

This last one here is my Bellanca Bag pattern. She did a fabulous job with it!

So there you go! Thanks for the info, Christine! Keep up the great work!
