On Monday I posted
this tote bag in
my shop. I am so excited about adding some bags! Primarily tote and a mobius shoulder strap number. My collection of thrifted leather belts is growing so that I'll have ample supply for straps. I love disassembling the belt components and combining them in new arrangements with grommets, rivets, snaps and such for straps, although I do need a much sharper hole punch for leather.
So this is the first one to go into the shop. It's made from organic cotton canvas & linen with detachable straps so they can be removed for laundering. I'm awaiting a few yards of a new, fairly heavy-weight hemp that I'm hoping to use for bags and a couple other items.
I'm LOVING these totes with upcycled straps! The dark tones of the straps and light tones of your eco fabrics make for a striking look. Cheers!
ReplyDeleteThank you Miss Mandy! It's fun getting to shop for belts and it helps to satisfy my interest in buying. I've dismantled a few to turn into cowgirl belts for the girls, so now I must keep them out of sight. Also learned that it's best to never let Miss I attempt rivet setting with a hammer while I hold the rivet setter in place on the anvil with my fingers.
