Busy, busy!

I have been happily busy these past few weeks, making custom orders for friends and customers. Three people have requested custom-made Plover Pleated bags (as I now call them--after the bird, of course!) in black, gray, and a plant print. I loved doing the solids because I NEVER use solid fabrics unless it is for the linings. I don't know why I never do, I guess I just prefer prints and lots of color. But there is nothing wrong with a solid color, especially when it comes to matching your wardrobe for everyday use.

So, I would like to keep trying new things and want to do a bag in solid plum for fall. And maybe one in a cinnamon or chocolate brown. Yum.

The solids showcase the details of the bag so nicely. Prints tend to overpower them and you don't notice them unless you are looking close. That is another positive of a solid colored bag.
