Mary’s Fairy Bags

Love the fairy horse for my denim go-go bags.  My husband and I make them out of recycled jeans and love the western and southwestern embroidery designs for them.  That horse is gonna be a big seller and I am hoping to get to the embroidery tomorrow.

We always donate the money we get for the bags to homeless vets, so I really appreciate when you put your designs on sale like you did today.

This is really wonderful of you both Mary!  Suz

Here are some pictures of those go-go bags we are making.  We go to the thrift shops and find the good, old, 100% cotton jeans.  Then my husband Paul is so good to wash, sanitize and dry with scent beads so I have a nice clean pair of jeans to deconstruct and sew.

These little bags finish out at about 7X9.5 inches and I just made up the pattern. They actually sell like crazy.  LOL!  I think recycled denim is hot right now.  I also attached a pic of a tote I made with one of your face designs.

Sunny’s Tote Bags

I almost forgot to send these along.  The last two of nine!  These are of dark brown denim; the others were black denim.  They are actually larger than they look, because the bottom is folded as are the sides.

Everyone LOVES them, Suz!

I made 9 of them for Christmas gifts on denim grocery totes, and one

daughter said the store employees at Trader Joe’s (a high-end grocery

chain on the West Coast) crowded around her to look at hers and even

took photos.  She insists I should make more to sell!!!  I just finished

stitching out the kitten on its back and one of the trios you split up.

These will be my 13th kittens!  The lady across the street (my Tai Chi

partner) got two on her tote bag and when a visitor friend of hers saw

it, she wanted one too!  So here I am, stitching yet more kitties!  I

swear Suz, these things are so very popular.  First, they are colorful

and not dense, and second, they are very well digitized.  You deserve a

medal for these little felines.  Just a note to tell you how popular

they are here in the San Francisco Bay area!!!

Great job as always Sunny!!!

Jan’s Safari Toy Bags

Used the Safari Series to make toy bags.  They are drawstring bucket bags and fully lined:  the original has a clear plastic window on one side and the embroidery on the other.  Had to re-engineer it to accommodate the height (Toy Bag 2.0) Parents like to use them for stuffed animals because stuffies are dust collectors, or to take favorite toys to Grandma’s house.  In later years they can be used as laundry bags.  Your Safari Series worked perfectly and these bags will be very popular.  Jan

This is a super idea Jan!!!!  So many designs could be used depending on the child or the parents wishes!  Suz

These designs can be purchased individually or in a combo set.

Jan’s Sally King Shoes

Jan makes shoe bags and puts one of Sally shoes on them!  What a great idea.  Suz

Attaching some pics of shoe bags.  They are fully lined with a dividing panel in the middle so that the 2 shoes don’t scratch each other.  Have given away at least a dozen (each one is different).  Will have to make some new friends as I still enjoy making them.    Jan
