Ok, here are a few pics of some of the handbags I've been working on. I plan to take them to the Toynbee School Craft Xmas Fayre on Friday night. I'm getting pretty nervous as this is my first show ever. Hopefully people won't go by my table and think, 'Why did she make her stuff out of such weird fabric? It's tacky!' Do you think people will think that? I wanted to stand out a bit with these, but I hope they don't stand out too much...
Anyway, the bags measure 16 inches at the bottom, 10 inches across the top, and the handles are around 18 inches long. Long enough to use on your shoulder but not so long your stuff's on view to the world. I'm thinking I'll probably price them around £40. If you really want one,
email me or go to
my etsy store, contact me through that, and I'll make one for you. Shipping in UK is £2, everywhere else $5. (NB: my etsy store is empty right now, because I'm pretty busy doing Xmas craft fairs. I'll stock it properly after 4 Dec. I hope.)
