Bags

Big and sturdy bags designed to last

My mom asked me to make her a patchwork bag four years ago from our old family clothing… Ever since I made that first one I’ve been on a quest to make *the* perfect bag, and I think this design is pretty darn close. 

Each bag is made entirely from scrap fabric I receive from various local dressmakers and mills and is therefore completely unique. I carefully sort, wash and organise the scraps before I start. I then create a composition and sew pieces together, slowly building it up until it’s the right size, and do the same for the lining. I often try and use the fabric scraps in their original state - I find this often leads to more interesting shapes and structures.
