Working woman

I think I mentioned before that I will be selling bags at my church's Oktoberfest celebration. Well, I've started working and so far I've got 2 done, and I have a couple more special orders too! Who knew so many people would like these? It's funny though because after I make each one I think, "Ooh, I really like this one, I hope it doesn't sell so I can keep it!" I have to stop thinking like that or I'll have 20 purses but no $$! They are like little creations though, and it will be hard to part with them knowing they will be going to strangers! Anyhow, here's the 2 so far:

The purse/clutch. This one I added a removable chain so it can be a purse or a clutch. I liked the traditional flower garden but wanted to give it a modern touch so added the geometric prints as accent and lining. I also love the little bee button too!:





Next is the larger "carry-on-carry-all" bag. I made it a size that will accomodate some magazines, or a book or two. It's perfect for a carry on bag for a flight. It has two open inner pockets to hold things you may want to grab easily, and a larger 5x7 zippered pocket to hold thigs you don't want to fall out like money or credit cards and make-up items. I'll be making a matching make-up bag/wristlet and credit card wallet that can fit inside too.
