A Break From Bags


I took a break from sewing bags for the sale and made some bucket hats for my boys. It was a lot of fun to do, but also a lot of work! I don't think I could ever make apparel for sale, but only for love. It took me approximately 10-12 hours to make two of these hats, and that doesn't include shopping for supplies. I decided on the theme by picking out the buttons first, then finding fabric to match.
Ray thinks his new hat is pretty cool, and will wear it outdoors - once we get inside, he tears it off his head.
Uh, Dario doesn't much like wearing hats I guess.



I also made the sign for our booth, and sales tags for my items. I plan to write the price and washing instructions on the back of the tags. Since there are going to be 4 of us selling in the one booth, we all decided we needed to put our name or "business name" on our stuff.

New Beach Bag

Made of sturdy outdoor fabric, great for taking to the beach or just out and about. Measures 11" deep, has a flat square bottom measuring 12.5"x 6". Handles are 25" long. Inside view of bag - unlined, but quality craftsmanship. All seams are finished so the fabric will not fray! Corners of bag and handles are triple sewn for extra durability.
Eye catching gold-tone rings at the handles.
