This listing is for fragrant Sweet pea
What makes Sweet pea unique is the amount of small fabric pieces pieced together. You will see square, strips and tiny stripes through out this design.
She measures around 13x16x7 (fold out at the base)
This bag has a deep purple waxed canvas bottom and soft, unstructured sides. Fully lined in a white cotton with a tiny black dot.
Straps are wrist or shoulder length measuring around 17.5 inches and a tie option on the opposite sides as the handle to close the bag decorated with a sparkly purple cotton flower.
The Story:
I have been working on this collection with the goal of creating a zero-waste studio. There are a lot of leftover materials and scraps from making bags. These bags are all unique and made from printed or hand-painted fabric as well as cotton fabric from my collection.
Making these bags are very labor-intensive. They are all one of a kind.
I start by cutting the scraps into blocks or strips, then I sort and organize them by color. After a quick planning session, I sew the pieces together into strips, which are then sewn into pieces large enough to make a bag.
I hope you love them as much as I do
