This gallery displays all of my tote bags, accessory bags, purses and any other types of things I make to carry other things.
NOTE: Below are the designs I offer, but please ask about the availability of any tote or accessory before ordering. My preferred fabrics for use with my fabric transfers and also colored fabrics have been difficult to find, and they are time-consuming to make, so I need to be sure I either have the finished bag in stock or I can make it in a timely manner. Hopefully this will change!
Tote Bags
Accessory Bags
Purses
Blending Purse design is 11″ wide x 17″ tall, printed in reclaimed linen tablecloth fabric and lined with more reclaimed tablecoth fabric. Straps are braided sparkle cord attached with a grommet at each top corner. Bag closes with a magnet. Each bag is handmade and may vary slightly in size or materials.
About the artwork
Blending bag, with braided olive/copper rope ribbon through grommets, snap or magnet closure.
I use commercial-quality fabric transfers to make fabric “swatches”. Like my accessory bags and cloth placemats they are printed on reclaimed fabrics from tablecloths, curtains, and any other clean, sturdy solid-colored fabric that won’t melt in the heat press. This bag is printed on an old frayed linen tablecloth trimmed down to give the fabric a new life.
It’s also lined with a solid white polyester tablecloth from a friend’s wedding. I can make use of my old printed textiles, and others I can collect, in the same way. So much is thrown away, and many fabrics are not ethically produced and have environmental impacts, so why not use something that’s already here? And although I know I’ll never use those tablecloths again I have a real attachment to them, so they get another life.

Market Flowers Purse design is 14″ wide x 11″ tall, printed in reclaimed damask tablecloth fabric and lined with more reclaimed tablecoth fabric. Woven 1/2″ straps wrap around the bag as handles for hand or shoulder. Bag closes with a zipper. Each bag is handmade and may vary slightly in size or materials.
About the artwork
Market Flowers bag, printed on both sides, with white tape trim handles that wrap around, zipper closure.
I use commercial-quality fabric transfers to make fabric “swatches”. Like my accessory bags and cloth placemats they are printed on reclaimed fabrics from tablecloths, curtains, and any other clean, sturdy solid-colored fabric that won’t melt in the heat press. This bag is my most favorite old damask tablecloth, now too stained to ever use, but I can make use of the clean areas and give the fabric a new life. The damask pattern shows through just enough to almost give the flowers a little dimension.
It’s also lined with a printed tablecloth that has a pale pink flowery border. I can make use of my old printed textiles, and others I can collect, in the same way. So much is thrown away, and many fabrics are not ethically produced and have environmental impacts, so why not use something that’s already here? And although I know I’ll never use those tablecloths again I have a real attachment to them, so they get another life.
