Thursday (bag) Eye Candy

It's been lovely reading about what bags you are all cooking up, or are going to cook.  There's something very cosy about knowing that there are lots of us out there all making bags at the same time :)  Have you told us what bag/s you are making yet?  You might win this summer bag if you do; you have until July 10th!

As for the Mac vs PC debate; you kind people have well and truly convinced me that Mac is THE way to go.  At the moment I'm borrowing a PC until Oct when the new Mac OS system comes out...oh my, it does look really sexy, I must stop looking at it, and get on with my work!  Thanks for your helpful Mac recommendations :)

Okeydokey back to business!  Here are some luscious bags made by you!!  Thanks for sending them in girls; you sure sure do know your way around a sewing machine!  Sorry it takes so long to post them, I'm the only person who writes for my blog and answers the all the emails...so things will take a bit longer (and I still can't touch type...dur!).  If you want instant bag fame and well deserved bag recognition why not post your pics on this Blog's Baggy Flickr for all to see?

First up: It just happens to be one of my fave colours; this cute bag in teal...

This Basket Style Bag by Bronwen in UK is as fresh as a daisy!  She has used these handles and popped a very cute Fabric Yo-Yo on the front to show off that yummy lining.  Love it, the colours all go beautifully together.

Next we have another Basket Style Bag...

This is another lovely summer Basket Style Bag, this time made by Cheryl in UK.  She has used these smart handles, and she has made a wonderful job of inserting a zipper into the lining.  Again, the colours all look fab together and this bag is so jolly!

Next up we have two very cute and neat bags...

Both of these delicious bags where made - and sold :(  by Liz in UK in her shop, aren't they both scrummy?  I love those flowers.

Next up we have some amazing leather work...

I think you'll agree with me when I say that these leather beauties by Jenna in USA are astounding!  The amount of detail is mind boggling!  She sourced the leather herself and painstakingly HAND STITCHED both of these gorgeous thing of beauty herself...incredible!

Next up we have another Basket Style Bag (it's great seeing these bags all over the place)

Christine in UK has made a lovely job of this Basket Style Bag by adding a contrasting band at the bottom with matching tab (like in this bag), and using these handles.

 

Next up we have another take on the Basket Style Bag...

I like the way Lynn in UK has taken a pic of her lovely Basket Style Bag amongst the daisies out in the sun (where the hell has the sun gone?).  Isn't it a really cheerful bag?

Next up we have a really delish Messenger Bag...

Is there anything that Claire in UK can't make out of this yummy tweed?  Claire has added a yummy twist to Amy Butler's High St Messenger Bag by making it out of tweed.  I think this bag wouldn't look out of place in a designer shop!  Claire has more of her gorgeous handmade bags for sale in her shop.

 

Next we have some coll retro-ness...

Zoe in UK had made this cool retro style bag using these instructions and these bag handles.  This bag (including matching glasses case and tissue holder) was a pressie for her Mum, and it was very  well received too!

and lastly for all you cat lovers (it seems that a lot us crafty folk have a friendly four legged friend at home - by the way, my Lovely Beans says "Ruff!")...

Patricia in UK has made a lovely shoulder bag with a super cute cat applique on the front, how sweet is that?!
