Finally got around to sewing all the bag shells I had cut and pressed a week or two ago. Definitely learning how to do things more efficiently every day I work on them!
Pockets were done too and all that’s left is to sew the linings then put each bag together. Oh, and I need [...]

Needed some new scarves for the bags I’m working on so I headed to my hometown, Pasadena, for the Rose Bowl Flea Market.
I could literally spend all day there but I was on a mission: dig through this for scarves that are destined to be one-of-kind hand bags!
