Latest Obsession!

Koi Bag

As of late, I have been nursing a back injury that has taken me off my feet. I can sit for short periods of time and lie down for a while, but there isn’t any length of time I am without pain. I figure since I will be in pain, I might as well bury myself in a project! The latest obsession is Koi Bags!

More Koi Bags

I saw a video on YouTube of someone making a fish bag and it sent my brain into overdrive! I had to make a koi bag! So I dug in and started figuring it out! Here are a few images of the goings-on! Enjoy!

The original one has a ribbon tie that I wrapped around the top of the bag. Then it came to me… Drawstring bags! So I made the second and third with grommets to make them like drawstring bags! I also switched up the body fabrics to make them unique since all koi are unique. I can’t wait until I can show them off to my friends here in town!

For the Record!

Welcome to the blog. This is me tracking my designs and inspiration!

If you know me, then you know that I have spent over a decade creating one blog after another documenting the myriad of things that clutter my brain on any given day. Above all of these things, one thing has remained a constant for me. Designing and sewing my own creations. Until this blog, I had not accurately documented my efforts. I hope to share my design journey with the world in an effort to inspire others to follow their creative dreams.

On with the show!

Scottie Sweater Crossbody Bag

This little Scotty bag was crafted from an old sweater that I would never wear. As a bag, she carried it everywhere!
