bad light – stopped play
Hmmm, I get a feeling that I’m not going to be able to photograph any of my new bags today : ( I have four already to go onto Etsy, but terrible weather = terrible light : (
Yesterday I did take some shots of one of the bags, just to show someone what they thought and they had asked if I could make one this big, so watch out!!!
and inside,
It is the biggest bag I have made so for, I was asked for a market type shopper, so it measures 16.5″ wide, and is 19″ deep, and the handles are 16.5″ long, so really quite large compared to my normal bags.
It is mainly made from a really pretty heavyweight cotton made by John Lewis, and then the last of the oatmeal linen I had left from the bags I had made last week.
I have done extra stitching on the handles for strength and I have stitched the outer to the inner, pleased with how it has turned out : )
Now the only problem is pricing, any ideas??

It’s lovely Alice. And pricing? Did you read Lisa’s post about it over at U handblog? She has a lot of good points.

Hmmmm…that is indeed a very lovely bag! I think $32 plus around $5 shipping & handling seems fair to me. Just feedback from a frequent etsy shopper — hope that helps.

BTW, I think you should definitely consider making similar bags from corduroy (instead of linen) now that autumn’s around the corner…

With longer handles, I might add…I’ll stop posting now!

I love your bag with the blue flowers – i see that you sell them on Etsy. Do you have any left? 😀
