Designer Retro Fabric Cuts!

Retro is everywhere. Whether you see 60s Modern, 70s Boho Chic, or 80s Punk, the past has suddenly become the present. What a great time to come out with some unique fabrics, perfect for our latest pattern, the L2 Bag.

All these fabrics are heavyweight, upholestry fabrics which will create sturdy, professional looking bags.

Bags! Bags! Bags!

Everywhere I look, runway shows, magazines or the internet, I see more and more bags. This spring I am seeing large day clutches, clear plastic totes or patent leather in bold hues, small shoulder bags and finally, my favorite, large and slouchy shopping totes. You name it, you see it: large, slouchy, leather or fabric, metallic or plastic, yellow or python, and you can't forget the fabulous hardware! Where can you get both a great handbag, along with the perfect hardware accessories? Right here!

Introducing our latest accessory pattern, the L2 Bag!

This is Linda Lee's favorite tote bag-thus the name L (squared), her nickname. It's the perfect size. Not too big, but holds a lot, a shoulder bag that fits snugly under your arm, lots of pockets on the inside, and it opens wide, but stays closed with clever magnetic tabs. It's so much fun to make in a great piece of vintage upholestry fabric, a drapery-weight toile fabric or a remnant from your favorite garment. Carry it as a handbag, put your regular purse inside it, or carry your laptop, baby supplies or beach toys in it.
