New Bag in the Works

I've been working on this new design - It's a simple hobo with quilted patchwork stripe on either side, appliqued onto linen (this is my first time working with linen, and I'm loving it).

I love the way it hangs!

Using some scrap pieces, I completed two different patchwork stripes on either side of the bag.

Lined with Amy Butler's Midwest Modern line, and a square interior pocket.

So now I need a name for this purse. In the past I have used my nieces names for my other purses/clutches. I'm thinking the "Sammy" (after my nephew...but Sammy can be a girl's name too) - to me it echoes spring and summer, fun and easy. This one will be a gift for my sister for her birthday.

I will definitely be making more of these, and be sure to check out my shop for new designs!
