I think I started making bags when I found a gorgeous piece of fabric, and so created a bag to show off the design. Not a fancy pattern but just something out of my head. I was hooked! I made bags for anyone who admired my handy work.
The first structured bag I made was at a class with Carolyn, to make her design, a Rittzy Tote Bag. What fun that was. Needless to say I was stuck with this idea. All the girls in my family got a bag, including one for a d-I-l living in Manila. After 6months, and it hadn’t arrived, I was devistated and imagined someone walking around Manila with my work of art hanging off their arm. Imagine my joy when I got the call to say it had arrived! That was quite some time ago.
This is still one of my favourites, and it certainly has been well used.
Bags of Fun 
Your bags are wonderful creations. There must be as much pleasure in the making as in the receiving?

Thanks. I have graduated from making clothes to quilting and now I just love making bags.
