Up and Running!

I announced the opening of my Etsy shop "Bucklebee" today! I have 7 bags listed; please stop by and take a look around. There's a link on the bottom of this page right to the shop--a few thumbnail photos of my listings are down there, as well.

Why Bucklebee bags? They're sleek, and designed to remain that way. The interior pockets expand toward the inside of the bag so they always look fresh and crisp. They're fashionable. Up-to-the-minute colors, styles and details keep you in step. They're unique! I design and construct every bag myself. Each bag is one of a kind. They're fun! Unexpected detailing will make you smile.

Yes, I will custom-make bags. If you have a special request, just let me know and we'll get to work!

I wanted to make some accessories, so I did!   Weekender-sized tote bag  (20" x 15"), iPad cover with interior padding and elastic closure, wallet with interior zip coin pocket and bill pocket, steel-frame coin purse and box-shaped cosmetic bag (and a composition-book cover, not pictured) were all made from 2 yards of "Patricia" by Linda Swensson for IKEA, and 1 3/4 yards of lining fabric.  The telling yardage, however, is the interfacing.   I used 4 yards of Pellon Decor Bond, and just over a yard of Pellon Craft Bond.  Everything looks crisp and professional.
