Putting that old canvas to use

Now that Otto the puppy has come into my life, my sewing time is organized around his nap time. Which, luckily, is often. As it turns out, puppies love fabric…and cutting mats, and thread, and pins. So for now, sleeping Otto is the only Otto allowed near my sewing machine.

In the mean time, I made a new bag for a friend’s girlfriend. He and I had a little conference over the phone and came up with the colors. The cream is a sail canvas, and it has a nice texture to it. We went with navy for the body and a beautiful pink for the lining. The pink fabric was a great find, a Robert Kaufman print from my local quilting shop.

So that’s what I’ve been up to while puppy is sleeping, and when he’s not:

    Hi Mary! I’m so glad you like it, Jay came up with all the ideas for the colors. Congratulations on graduation, looking forward to meeting you sometime soon!

    Hi Emily,

    I’m the girlfriend! Haha! Jay gave me the purse this weekend. I just wanted to let you know how beautiful it is – you did an amazing job! When I saw the one you made for his mom I couldn’t get over how much I liked it. I love that it is made out of sail canvas and the pink is the best part :-)

  • Hi Emily! Your bags are so awesome! I’m just wondering how much one of these bags would cost if I wanted to buy one? I’m looking for a bag to keep my camera lenses in while shooting weddings (non zipped pockets on the inside would be best so the lenses are easy to grab!). If you could shoot me an email at mistyskyephotography@gmail.com with the prices that would be so awesome of you :) . Thank you so much!
