These silk-lined purse bags from RedRubyRose (http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5429379) are gorgeous, and have been featured in the Storque and treasuries on Etsy several times, and highly worthy of it too. A lot of the fabric used is of the artist’s own design. Here’s some of my favourites:
Old Bag Crafts can be found on Etsy (http://oldbagcrafts.etsy.com) or Folksy (http://oldbagcrafts.folksy.com) and may just have the answer to your Christmas gift wrapping woes. Vicky makes gift bags as well as totes and other accessories, so you can give those awkward to wrap presents in a lovely reusable fabric bag!
I am taking part in NaBloPoMo (National Blog Post Month), so I will be blogging every day in November. Today is post 26: http://www.nablopomo.com/
I put together a couple of graphics for Kat’s shops on Etsy (http://domestickat.etsy.com) and Folksy (http://www.folksy.com/shops/domestickat) and in return look what I got in the post on Monday!
The messenger style bag is made from a suede material with lovely red stitching and coordinating red and cream patterned lining. It also has a lovely zip section making 3 compartments inside! I think she usually retails these for £10-15 which is great value. And I got a matching tissue pouch! I’m going to give these to my sister as a gift.
I also got this cream bag with leaf detailing. Each leaf is individually sewn on, it really must have been a labour of love! Really pretty. There was also a giraffe handmade card and 3 lollies (which I ate) so it was a really nice surprise. Thank you DomesticKat!
