Bag-maker always looking for ways to upcycle materials. I never make the same bag twice. If you want something uniquely you, for cosplay, a repair, or you want me to incorporate something you love into a bag, reach out!
I got the otter fabric on Spoonflower. The artist is scrummy so you can look them up.

I’m so sorry - I have been in similar situations and I know it’s so hard. Hang in there…

The white accent and handle fabric is upcycled from a discarded and damaged headboard. Pattern is the Boronia Bowler from @bluecallapatterns.bsky.social. #bagmaking #sewing #handmade #supportukraine

Here's one of the bags I've made from old billboards. 😀 I LOVE the idea of the vintage sheets! Your stuff is so cute - following!

There are a couple of companies making bags from old billboards. But they sort of lose their appeal considering the materials and finished products are flown all over the world, and newly-made hardware and lining are added. So I constructed these with material found locally and adding nothing new.

Also I want to add that Jess at @oklaroots.bsky.social has been such an inspiration. I took up bag-making mostly as therapy and have gotten so much from her detailed and fun videos. Thanks for being on Bluesky, Jess!
