cloth bags

 
 



 
i've been making these little cloth bags for a while now.
repurposed completely from pre-loved fabrics.
 
starting with a new one for myself
after my previous one that i'd picked up during travels
was beyond further repair . .
thread bare . .
after a couple of decades of constant use.
 
 
 
 

 
 
 
after which i just kept making more.
using up pieces of pre-loved fabrics.
cloth from travels.
clothes.
 
doing a little bit here.
a little bit there.
inbetween.
 
 
 
 

 
 
turns out i have a little stack now.
finished.
and another little stack on the go.
in various stages of process.
having a period of sitting . . 
for now . .
while i paint.
 
 
 

 
 
 
it's something i love doing.
when the urge takes me.
mixing the fabrics.
making something useful.
 
they are part machine-sewn . . 
part hand-sewn.
i tend to sew the straps on by hand
because i like the way it looks
better. and feels . .
sitting with the needle
and the slow stiches.
 
 
 
 


 
i've decided to offer these for sale.
there are only so many
you can give to loved ones.
and they're not useful
unless they're in use.
 
i'll be adding them to an online shop.
at sometime . . .
. . .  later.
