Messenger Bag {handmade wares}

My first messenger bag y'all!

A little birdie told me that I should make a messenger bag since they are filtrating the spring fashion lines. I typically make my first sample in fabric I love because I like to test the design out for a week or so.

This turned out great on the first try! It's a great size - about 14" by 12". I did not put a snap closure on the sample (I will update that on the next go-round), but I've found that the flap is long enough to keep the bag closed.

I added pockets to each side for the little things you don't want to get lost in the shuffle.

Overall, I loved the way it turned out! You're sure to see more of these in the future.

Laptop Cover {handmade wares}

I've been wanting to make a cover for my laptop for a long time and since I had a business trip to Atlanta Saturday, last week was the perfect time! After all, I needed the cover to protect my laptop in my carry-on:) I made a simple, lined fold-over cover with a ric-rac and button closure.



This one is big enough to also fit my charger.





The coral fabrics looks great as it does on nearly everything! Do y'all think this is a good product to add to the PCM catalog? It would be great with a handle - messenger style, I think.

Custom Bags {handmade wares}

I'm still working on the other pages here, but it's coming along. I would ultimately love to get my products into a easy to view gallery style format on my products page, but I can't find a plug-in or widget for it. So I'm experimenting:) Please let me know if you have any tips or suggestions!

Monogrammed Beach Bag {wedding shower gift}

Here's a beautiful striped beach bag I had monogrammed and gave as a wedding shower gift with a monogrammed beach towel and a matching clutch. This bag style has quickly become my favorite go-to bag because you can use it for anything! I used mine for my carry-on last week and of course I take it to the pool and beach regularly!









{all bags available for custom order, starting at $35. Choose your fabric, trim, etc. Monogramming available for $10 extra.}

Studio Updates

There's been beautiful weather and lots of custom orders around these parts recently, but I did find time to make a new set of bags for my self. A beach bag, a small tote, and a clutch. The beach bag will get monogrammed soon!

Monogrammed Annabelle Bags

Wow, I've been a bad blogger this week! I've been here, there, and everywhere: only not on the computer. I apologize dear readers!

I have been wanting to show ya'll my Monogrammed Annabelle bags for a few weeks now, so I'm excited about this post today! This bag style is easily becoming my favorite. It is easy to use, lightweight, and usually big enough for everything I need. On days that I need more stuff, it fits comfortable into my tote bags. Monogram is available for $9 extra!

I hope to update my Etsy store this month & this will definitely be in the shop!
