I'm in the middle of finishing off a toiletry type bag for a friend of mine. She wanted a small bag to keep all her dog grooming brushes, combs, nail clippers etc in. So I designed a bag with that specific use in mind and I'm pretty pleased to say that this little sewing project is turning out the way I envisaged it. I hope my friend will like the dog grooming bag I've come up with.
I've now been asked by several people whether I would be willing to make bags on commission. Well I suppose I can, I'm still learning about bag making but I'm actually really enjoying being creative. I guess if I do start doing this more regularly then I might need to get some labels made, something that says "Hand made by ..." or "Hand made designs by..." and add them to my creations.
I really enjoy making these bags, so if there are people our there who want me to make them a bag I will be very happy to put one together for them. They will have to be patient though as I am not the quickest when it comes to making these bags. I want to make sure that they are right and well made.
This is the grooming bag I made for my friend, I made it up as I went along and the design worked much better than I thought it would. My friend is over the moon with her new bag, and to me that is what it is all about! I suppose the next thing I should do is draw out the design so that I can recreate it if needed.
