Laptop Totes and Soft Luggage


FEATURING FABRIC COVERED BUTTONS
I use a vintage industrial button press and dies
 to make matching buttons for soft luggage, totes, and purses. 


There is a slim pocket for a pen, and 4 exterior drop and go pockets.

Free motion quilted cotton duct lining makes for a very strong bag.

Above photo you can see a pocket hidden inside another pocket!

A zipper pull with metal wristlet connector, split ring, and fancy black suede fringe charm adds flair.

 The free motion quilted interior is padded,
protecting your valuables, and giving this bag strength and durability.
Two rows of divided and undivided interior pockets

Side panels allow bag to "grow in size" to accommodate
all your travel items.  
COST: $45.00


BRING ON THE BLING!

I guarantee you'll love the feel of these hand-sewn slick glass and metal beads.

This piece of luggage was sheer joy to create,
 allowing me the freedom to quilt randomly.

Elegante Nubby Black & Tan Upholstery Fabric, 22" Sports Zipper, polyester quilt batting, handmade tan and black Polymer Clay Beads, store bought Glass Feather Beads, Dragon Fly Brass Charm from my vintage jewelry stash with Black Cord




    The zipper pull is made of handmade tan and black polymer clay beads, that I paired with some glass feather beads and a large coin charm featuring a dragon fly strung on a black cord. Grabbing a handful of beads to zip and unzip this bag adds function, feels nice, and gives the bag a totally feminine look.


MATCHING PURSE

Handmade Polymer Beads for a fun Zipper Pull

These zipper pulls are my signature design element
on all of my soft luggage, totes, and purses.

"Tribal Seal" decorates the front pocket.  Machine embroidered here in my studio, 
it is a design I purchased from designer Derrick Castle.

Sturdy upholstery fabric makes a great laptop tote
and matching Kindle bag in Navy with orange accents.

Nothing thrills me more than to add decorative features.
The orange diamonds parade around the side panel of the tote.

Padded Construction
