.... well lately anyway! These bags were done on a heavy muslin base and put to-gether like crazy patch. I used my embroidery machine to do the motifs.Some of the bags have parts of recycled bluejeans. I particularly like to use the pockets which gives extra little nooks and crannies to put things.
I have shown you both the front and the back Each bag measures about 12" x 12" with linings which are bright and cheerful with pockets for extras including a cell phone. I have some new ideas brewing which I will divulge later on when I actually get something tangible to show you.

Your purses are lovely! I went through a tote bag 'stage' last year and now I'm onto knitting bags and assorted geehaws to go with them. Recycled denim for the most part.

Maggie, you've really put a lot of great work into these bags. Really nice.
ooh, love the Japenese ladies and the cat bags, beautiful
Dolls, beads, quilts, paper crafting. What more can a woman ask for other than maybe more time to do it all in? :) Love the beaded trim at the bottom of your bags.
Great story for your doll too.
