Something new!

I have finished a new model shoulder bag/rucksack/backpack. I found this through Pinterest and came to this Rumanian blog and thought I might try to do something similar. It is made of vegan suede and handwoven wool. The lining is a sturdy cotton with small flowers.

And here is my prototype:

In between countries

Just before going back to Switzerland for two weeks, to set everything in motion for the restoration of a house and to clean up the garden, I had to finish these two bags which will stay in Scotland! They turned out rather well. They are both gladstone type bags, lightweight, made of faux suede, wool (some handwoven) linen and viscose. The blue one has some bedouin silver beads on it as an embellishment!

I also finished this bag/rucksack/backpack, a commission from Switzerland which we took back with us. I is made of grey upholstery fabric combined with a handwoven woollen strip.
