Travel Duffle PDF Pattern

$12.99
This is a sewing pattern. To buy a travel duffle, visit the large bags section of my shop. This fully illustrated PDF pattern will walk you through how to sew my popular travel duffle.

This pattern includes a royalty-free cottage licensing agreement. That means that you can make these bags for resale! All you have to do is purchase the pattern from me, and state in your marketing materials, online descriptions (or on a tag, if you sell them in person) "made from a StudioCherie pattern."

This is a PDF file that I will email to you within 24 hours of your payment. You can buy the pattern today and make the bag tomorrow! To open the file, your computer will use Adobe Reader, which is a free downloadable program.

Materials List:
*8 ounce polyester quilt batting 1.5 yards
*Muslin (or other desired lining fabric) 44” wide, 1.5 yards
*Fabric 44” wide or 54” wide, 1.5 yards
*Contrasting fabric for handles 44” or 54” wide, half of a yard
*Heavy Duty Zippers one 21” long and one 13” long
*Jute Webbing (found in upholstery notions)3.5” wide, 3.5 yards
*Narrow Seam Binding– 13”
*Optional Wide Seam Binding 6 yards
*2-1” wide “O” rings

Tools list:
*Cutting mat, Quilter’s ruler, Rotary Cutter
*Sewing machine and thread
*Scissors
*A walking foot for sewing on the quilted fabrics
*A zipper foot for installing zippers
*Iron and ironing board
*Non-permanent fabric marker

The pattern is illustrated with 23 photos and 4 diagrams. There is also 1 full size pattern piece included in the 13 page document. I use 14 point type in the pattern, so the writing is nice and big. I can even read it without my reading glasses.

Here is some feedback on the actual bag itself:
"WOW! I couldn't be more thrilled with my custom duffle! It will be perfect to bring to the hospital when I have my baby. Thank you, thank you!!"

Here is the description of the bag itself:

Dimensions:
20"(51cm)long
12"(30.5cm)deep
12" (30.5cm)high
Strap Drop 11"(28cm)long enough to wear over your shoulder.
There are loops for attaching a longer strap (not included) from the ends if you like.

I've been wondering for a while if I would ever make a bag so big that you could hide inside in case of emergency. Now I am glad I did.

This has been my family beach bag over the Summer. Inside you will be able to carry a beach blanket(we use a queen size quilt,)5 beach towels, bathing suits for 5, and a cosmetic bag. The zippered outside pocket will hold sunscreen. The outside pouch pocket can hold cell phones or sunglasses.

Obviously this can also be a weekender bag. When I flew to Seattle the other day, I tried it out as my carry-on and it worked great. I think I was the best looking traveler in the airport. As far as carrying on an airplane though, you have to be aware not to load it to full capacity, so it will fit in the overhead bin. I had no problem at all.

The handles are made of jute webbing which is exteremly strong stuff that I also use in my upholstery work. I covered them partially with fabric to make them comfortable to hold, but left the edges showing because it looks great.

This bag in my hand was made in Amy Butler's Nigella home decor weight fabric, and the fabric is quilted for added strength. The bag on my shoulder was made to order with an Amy Butler quilting weight fabric that my customer requested.

Everyone has a duffle bag, but not everyone has a gorgeous duffle bag. Practical, yet unique, this bag is totally you.

The photos in this listing show some of the custom duffles I have sold. This listing is for the sewing pattern.

Shown on baby's bottom and on Daddy's shoulder. Finally, a diaper Daddy can wear with pride;) Men have called me to say how much they love having these around because they are thick, absorbent and durable.

When baby grows out of it, you can pass it on, or have the best looking dust cloths around.

When you attend the next baby shower, give one as a gift to the new Grandma. Used as a burp cloth or lap pad, she will love the traditional utility and modern style of these prefold cloth diapers.

Made with all new materials in my smoke-free, pet-free studio. All products shown on models were given to the models in exchange for using their likeness in my promotional materials. All products sold are brand new.

Vintage Luggage Great for Boudoir Photo Prop

Tue, 24 Nov 2009 09:50:57 -0500

$46.00
This case is from the 1940's, and was much loved and used. I was so happy to find it and purchase it from the original owners' son at their estate sale.

The handle is worn in such a way that I would not use it as luggage myself unless I were to find a way to repair it.

The interior has a small area where the stitching has come undone. I have not restitched it because I thought you might want it in original condition.

Otherwise the interior is really excellent and appears to have been well cared for.

The exterior is pretty scuffed, but solid.

The latches work. I have no key for the lock and have not tried to lock the case.

The measurements are:
15" x 10" x 7"

This will ship in a box via parcel post.

Four Inch Frame Purse Pattern

Tue, 24 Nov 2009 09:50:57 -0500

$6.99
Full sized pattern pieces and fully illustrated instructions to make this popular frame purse. What you will receive is an Adobe Acrobat PDF file as an attachment to an email.

Details of the bag:
Uses a 4" by 2" metal purse frame - NOT INCLUDED
By ordering the PDF pattern, you can have these sewn and ready for the frames to arrive.

If you don't already have this frame, you can now buy them one at a time at BitsandPurses in the US:
http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=7223960

Here is what is special and different about this pattern:

**The finished bag has a perfectly flat bottom that measures approximately 5.5" wide by 2" deep.

**This pattern features a front exterior pocket with a snap closure that is perfect for folding money, credit cards, or gift card.

**The other wonderful thing about this pattern is that the lining has no bottom seam, making for a very strong bag that can hold a weeks worth of parking meter change. (Parking meters in Spokane are not as expensive as Seattle or San Francisco, so "mileage" of change will vary.)

If you are looking for a cute bag to make for gifts, try this. I think it will be a big hit! Wouldn't it be great filled with candies, cosmetic samples, lip tints or nail polishes? How about full of change for the friend who always gets parking tickets? Gift cards are nice too, tucked into the front pocket.

My instructions include extensive notes for making the bag in a variety of fabric types.

Rainbow Diaper Bag Set

Wed, 18 Nov 2009 18:47:04 -0500

$69.00
I made this set for a meeting that I had with Disney a few years ago. I think you might recognize the cute little caterpillar that holds the key fob. They loved it, but I never persued the big time with them. I can tell you the story sometime.

I thought it was about time someone with a baby enjoyed this bag and changing pad.

The bag is made of Crypton super suede which is moisture, stain and bacteria resistant. It is also machine wash and dry.

The changing pad is my compact travel change pad bag. The wipes pocket is built-in and accessible whether the pad is folded or unfolded.

It has a carrying strap.
Folds out to a 18" by 28" changing pad.

Messenger bag has an interior pocket measuring: 7" by 6"
Pocket behind the caterpillar is 6" by 6"

Duffle Bag Like No Other

Wed, 18 Nov 2009 17:30:20 -0500

$149.00
You will love traveling with your own personal, custom made bag. Everyone has a duffle bag, but not everyone has a gorgeous duffle bag.

Have a gorgeous travel duffle made just for you. Tell me your favorite colors or fabric choice, and I make it and ship it in about 2 weeks.

Christmas Delivery:
For international orders, please order by December 1st.
US orders need to be in by December 4th.

This example shows the duffle in Anna Maria Horner home decor fabrics. This bag has already been shipped to the customer. It is here as an example of what I can make for you.

Dimensions:
20"(51cm)long
12"(30.5cm)deep
12" (30.5cm)high

I've been wondering for a while if I would ever make a bag so big that you could hide inside in case of emergency. Now I am glad I did.

One of these duffles was my family beach bag this Summer. Inside you will be able to carry a beach blanket(we use a queen size quilt,)5 beach towels, bathing suits for 5, and a cosmetic bag. The zippered outside pocket will hold sunscreen. The outside pouch pocket can hold cell phones or sunglasses. We'll be taking it to the ski slopes this Winter.

When I flew to Seattle the other day, I tried it out as my carry-on and it worked great. I think I was the best looking traveler in the airport. As far as carrying on an airplane though, you have to be aware not to load it to full capacity, so it will fit in the overhead bin. I had no problem at all.

The handles are made of jute webbing which is exteremly strong stuff that I also use in my upholstery work. I covered them partially with fabric to make them comfortable to hold, but left the edges showing because it looks great.

The fabric is quilted for added strength. Since this is made to order, I can certainly work with you to choose something you are excited about.

Please be prepared to communicate fabric choice and allow up to 2 weeks for completion of your bag.

Now for the DIY types, you can also buy the PDF pattern and instuctions for how to make this here:

Summer Clutch Pattern Now in PDF

Tue, 17 Nov 2009 13:50:43 -0500

$8.99
Fully illustrated instructions and full size pattern pieces to make a large (12x6) clutch with loops for attaching a strap. I include instructions for the fabric strap like I made for myself. A chain strap might also be nice. It would be very good in velvet for a formal clutch this Winter.

Measurements 12" wide, 6" tall and up to 4" deep.

Important Note: You will have to have page 8 printed at a copy shop that has a large format printer because page 8 measures 20” by 24”. Kinko’s and Office Depot are 2 places where you can email this file, ask them to print page 8 full
size, and pick it up later. Large format printers are also becoming more common at smaller copy shops. This should cost around $3.00. Make sure you have the ability to print a 20" x 24" page at full size before you buy the pattern.

Materials you will need:
-1/2 yard of cotton fabric for exterior
-1/2 yard of cotton fabric for interior and contrast
-22" of Peltex 70 ultra firm stabilizer
-toggle, purse clasp, velcro, or magnetic closure
-10" of zipper (you can use a 12" zipper and shorten it)
-Thread and sewing machine

Includes instructions for zippered interior pocket.

This one has a purse clasp closure. You might also choose to use a toggle, or a magnetic closure.

I would call this an intermediate level sewing pattern. This will be simple for you if you have constructed garments with darts, pleats, zippers, and button holes. Quilting skills also make for better results -cutting methods, experience with seam binding, experience with sewing layers of fabrics and batting. If you are already a bag maker, I think this pattern will thrill you.

Satchel Sewing Pattern PDF format

Mon, 16 Nov 2009 19:33:43 -0500

$8.99
Full size pattern pieces and fully illustrated instructions for how to build this gorgeous, luggage quality handbag. The pattern is an Adobe Acrobat PDF file that I will email to you after receiving payment.

Note: the page of pattern pieces measures 24" wide by 40" long. You will have to email the PDF to your local copy shop that has a large format printer for them to print page 12 of the PDF. Kinkos and Office Depot both have large format printers. Some of the smaller copy shops are getting them as well. You should make sure you have a local place to print the pattern pieces before purchasing the pattern. The large format print will cost around $5.25.

I have explained every step in great detail with illustrations, so you can successfully duplicate this bag in the fabrics of your choice. Measurements are given in inches and in metric.

There are two zippered pockets with my special way of making them that I am sure you will adapt into other bags you make.

The instructions are broken down into units that enable you to make the bag in several shorter sessions, making it easy to pick up where you left off.

This is a bag that you will be proud to carry and glad you made. It is roomy enough for multiple uses, even as a diaper bag.

Outside dimensions: 15" (38cm) wide at the bottom, 10" (25.5cm) tall, and 6"(15.2cm) deep.

Strap drop to top of bag (not to attachment) is 8" (20cm.) A local gal stopped me in the fabric store the other day to show me the great bag she made from this pattern, and she lengthened the straps to have it as a shoulder bag - it looked fabulous!

Pockets:
1 small exterior zippered pocket on side for keys or other small items,
1 larger zippered exterior for other things,
2 more large exterior pockets,
4 interior elasticized pockets to help you organize

In case you want to shop for materials while the pattern is on its way:

-Main Fabric 3/4 yard (about 69cm)

-Lining Fabric 1 yard (about 92cm)

-Contrast Fabric or Leather/Suede/Vinyl ¼ yard (20cm)
(If not using a contrasting fabric, just add on 1/4 yard to your main fabric measurement.)

-Buckram or fairly stiff interfacing (like Craft Bond 808 by Peltex) 1.5 yards (1.4meters)

-Peltex 70 Ultra Firm Stabilizer piece 7” x 14.25” (18 x 11 cm)

-Lightweight cotton fabric for pocket lining 1 yard.

-Piping – I used Wrights Maxi Piping product #303 – 3 packages (6 yards needed) www.wrights.com

3 zippers – 18” (45-46cm), 7” (18cm), and 3.25” (8cm)

3/8” (1cm) wide elastic – 28” (71cm)

This pattern will work best done in a home decor weight fabric. Experienced seamstresses will certainly be able to adapt fabric and interfacing choice to work with lighter or upholstry weight fabrics.

The rose fabric in the photo is Norfolk Rose from the Waverly Vintage Collection, and the red suede is Crypton Raja. I used tea stained muslin for the pocket lining.

Easy PDF Frame Purse Sewing Pattern

Mon, 16 Nov 2009 16:30:12 -0500

$6.99
Just use the pattern and follow the instructions to make your own perfect little bag. This purse is small enough that I am able to fit the full sized pattern pieces onto a file that you can print at home. What you will receive is 2 Adobe Acrobat PDF files as attachments to an email. One file is the pattern pieces and the other is the fully illustrated instructions.

If you have been wondering how to make one of these cute frame purses, this pattern is your answer.

Details of the bag:
Uses a 4" by 2" metal purse frame - NOT INCLUDED
By ordering the PDF pattern, you can have these sewn and ready for the frames to arrive.

If you don't already have this frame, you can now buy them one at a time at BitsandPurses in the US:
http://bitsandpurses.etsy.com

Outside the US, you can get them from suppliers in Hong Kong.

Here is what is special and different about this pattern:

**The finished bag has a perfectly flat bottom that measures approximately 5.5" wide by 2" deep.

**This pattern features a front exterior pocket with a snap closure that is perfect for folding money, credit cards, or gift card.

**The other wonderful thing about this pattern is that the lining has no bottom seam, making for a very strong bag that can hold a weeks worth of parking meter change. (Parking meters in Spokane are not as expensive as Seattle or San Francisco, so "mileage" of change will vary.)

If you are looking for a cute bag to make for gifts, try this. I think it will be a big hit! Wouldn't it be great filled with cosmetic samples, lip tints or nail polishes? How about full of change for the friend who always gets parking tickets? Gift cards are nice too, tucked into the front pocket. I hate to say this because I don't smoke, but it is a good size for cigarettes.

My instructions include extensive notes for making the bag in a variety of fabric types.

Thanks for shopping with me. I look forward to helping you make some beautiful things.

Weekender Duffle Made to Order

Sat, 14 Nov 2009 15:11:53 -0500

$149.00
A recent customer said: WOW! I couldn't be more thrilled with my custom duffle! It will be perfect to bring to the hospital when I have my baby. Thank you, thank you!!

Everyone has a duffle bag, but not everyone has a gorgeous duffle bag. Practical, yet unique, this bag is totally you.

Dimensions:
20"(51cm)long
12"(30.5cm)deep
12" (30.5cm)high
Strap Drop 11"(28cm)long enough to wear over your shoulder.
There are loops for attaching a longer strap (not included) from the ends if you like.

I've been wondering for a while if I would ever make a bag so big that you could hide inside in case of emergency. Now I am glad I did.

One of these duffles was my family beach bag this Summer. Inside you will be able to carry a beach blanket(we use a queen size quilt,)5 beach towels, bathing suits for 5, and a cosmetic bag. The zippered outside pocket will hold sunscreen. The outside pouch pocket can hold cell phones or sunglasses. We'll be taking it to the ski slopes this Winter.

When I flew to Seattle for the weekend, I tried it out as my carry-on and it worked great. I think I was the best looking traveler in the airport. As far as carrying on an airplane though, you have to be aware not to load it to full capacity, so it will fit in the overhead bin. I had no problem at all.

The handles are made of jute webbing which is exteremly strong stuff that I also use in my upholstery work. I covered them partially with fabric to make them comfortable to hold, but left the edges showing because it looks great.

This bag was made in a beautiful peacock theme fabric called Proud. The fabric is quilted for added strength. If you prefer a different fabric, I can certainly work with you to choose something you are excited about.

Please be prepared to communicate fabric choice and allow up to 2 weeks for completion of your bag.

Donna Travels Customizable Tourist Carry on

Sat, 14 Nov 2009 15:11:05 -0500

$198.00
I thought of you hiking the hills and cobblestone streets while I made this bag.

Then I got thirsty, so I added the water bottle pocket. I'm glad you like it.

The passport pocket zips toward the center of the bag, to make it easy for you to pull it out but harder for a pick pocket.

Because you are so paranoid, the top closes with both a zipper and a flap. For myself, I'd like this bag with no flap and no top zip. For one photo, I folded the flap out of the way, so you can see the bag as it would be with no flap. I think a bag clasp on a tab flap would be cool, and a big interior zippered pocket to hold anything that might fall out if the bag got jostled on the airplane.

Your great huge wallet will fit nicely inside one of the interior pockets. And your ginormous hard, plastic sunglass case will fit in the other.

I made this bag deeper than usual becuse I know you want to carry a sweater while you are touring around, and slippers for the long flight.

The camera pocket has a flap and magnetic snap closure. I expect you to get some good photos. It's big enough that you will be able to carry extra batteries too.

I also included a map pocket in the back for the maps and brochures you pick up on the way.

I almost forgot, there is a pen holder worked into the flap of the camera pocket - that will be handy.

Thanks for asking me to quilt the fabric, I think it really gives it a luggage feel.

The pictured bag was custom made specifically for Donna. It is fabricated of washable, moisture stain and bacteria resistant Crypton fabric. I think her ideas of what she needs in a touring bag are so good, that I wanted to offer to customize this bag for others.

This listing is a place for you to order your own custom travel bag of the same or similar fabrics - there is a huge color range available.

The overall size of the bag is 12" by 12" by 5"

It can be made with or without a top flap. With or without a top zipper. The specific pockets you need inside and out, including water bottle pocket if you want. The strap is adjustable.

Donna loves her bag, and I am sure you will too.

Vintage Style Frame Bag Sewing Pattern

Sat, 14 Nov 2009 10:25:45 -0500

$6.99
Using an 8" kisslock purse frame, this makes a medium sized bag with a great vintage look.

If you like to work with vintage fabrics or if you have always wanted to learn how to work with these fabulous metal frames, I think you will love this pattern. Perfect for making your own shabby chic looking bag.

I carry the rose bag in the photo and have had people ask me about it. They are amazed when I tell them I made it because they assumed it was a vintage find.

I love the capacity of this bag. I also love the easy access of the wide frame opening.

Finished dimensions of bag:
Frame is 8" wide (20.3cm) by about 3" tall (7cm)
Bag height is 8.5" up to edge of frame (21.5cm)
Bottom width of bag is a substantial 12" (30.5cm)
Depth measured at bottom of bag is 4.5" (11.5)
Your strap drop will depend on the length of chain you use. The bag is pictured with a 30" ball chain, doubled to a 15" chain for a 7" drop. BitsandPurses sells a better quality of chain that I use now, but it is not in the photos. (see link below.)

I think you will be proud of your neatly top-stitched, firm bottom, and the styling and performance of your bag.

Pattern is emailed to you and includes full size pattern pieces and fully illustrated instructions. Open the PDF file at 100% and print at 100%. One inch reference squares are printed on each pattern piece so you can verify that you have printed the pattern at the correct size.

8" frame must be purchased separately and is available here:

Vintage Swiss Army BYOB Bag

Sat, 14 Nov 2009 10:25:30 -0500

$36.95
Bring your own - breakfast: the Swiss army is famous for both being prepared and not going to war. The result is this well designed, handsome vintage bag that is clean enough to carry a meal.

Bring your own - bottle: fits 3 beer bottles, with room leftover for wallet and keys.

Bring your own - binoculars: has a great ergonomic shape for hikes. Cleverly converts to back pack.

Bring your own - book: sturdy construction and weather resistant fabric.

Attractive to both men and women, this bag makes a great gift.

Inside features a drawstring "pocket" with no bottom and a flat pocket that measures 5.5" square.

The top secures with a button, and the fit is such that the button is a little redundant. The top stays closed pretty well while unbuttoned.

There is a second button below the main one and it is broken, but I left it on because it is sewn on so well that it is staying in place.

The strap is adjustable.

Dimensions:
8.5" tall (21.5cm)
8.5" wide (21.5cm)
4" deep (10cm)

When we took this on a little hike for the photo shoot, I found it to be very comfortable to carry. It held my Canon A540, a water bottle, and my sunglasses. There was plenty of space leftover for wallet, keys, cell phone, etc.

The numbers on the front are the serial number. Everything in the Swiss army has a serial number.

A woman who bought two of these from me said: "Wonderful work. These are much loved and my daughter and her friend ill love the little bags. StudioCherie is the place to shop! Thanks for everything - the great craftsmanship and fantastic service."

Silver Heart Bag Clasp Made of Nickle

Thu, 12 Nov 2009 13:12:49 -0500

$12.00
This is a beautiful (and heavy) bag clasp. I always get a lot of compliments on my bags on which I have intalled this clasp.

I recommend using it with leather, quilted, or equally heavy fabrics. Since it is a heavy clasp, it is not suitable for lightweight fabrics or tiny projects.

To install heart, mark and cut center hole and screw holes, put the front and back in place and install screws to secure.

To install toggle, mark and cut slits, push prongs through slits, push back plate over prongs from back side of fabric and bend prongs out to secure.

Please be sure you want a heavier clasp before purchasing this item. If you need something lighter, I have a brass plated purse clasp that is very lightweight.

Heart measures 1.75" wide by 1.5" tall.

This clasp was made in China, and there are no documents detailing the metal, but it looks and feels like nickle.

Wed, 11 Nov 2009 16:38:41 -0500

$46.00
Made with the hottest cute fabric around and coordinating fleece, this is the go everywhere solution for traveling with babies and toddlers.

Zippered pouch is attached to changing pad, and keeps wipes accessible and handy with room for a few other things in it as well.

Changing pad has a soft warm fleece side and a easy wipe up lead free vinyl side.

Easy care - machine wash and dry.

My friend who has been testing the very first one for me since December of 2006, still uses hers and loves it.

In the standing up photo, the pouch is filled with two size 5 diapers, a full travel wipes pouch, a baby bottle, and there is room left over.

The baby photo was obviously on a different pad - the mom kept that one!

I have received emails from people telling me how much they love these for toddlers because the size of the pad and how handy it is to use instead of a diaper bag.

The pad measures 18" x 28."

The pocket is 9" tall x 7" wide x 2.25" deep.

It folds up and secures in place to a compact 9" x 7" size, perfect for tossing in your tote bag. Believe me, when the "baby" is 2 years old, and you need to be prepared for a possible diaper change, you don't want to carry a diaper bag anymore!

Office Chair Slip Cover

Mon, 09 Nov 2009 10:51:07 -0500

$105.00
Add some life to that cubicle or dorm room by slip covering your drab office chair.

Simply tell me your colors in a message at checkout, and I will find a great fabric for you. I will also need these measurements from you before I can start:

Seat - The one in the photos is 16.5" square with rounded corners.
*Measure straight across the center of the seat, allowing your measuring tape to follow any contour, so the tape is flat on the surface of the seat.

Back - The one in the photos is 14.5" wide in front and 18.5" wide in the back (also with rounded corners)and is set at 13" high from the seat. It has a big knob in the back for adjusting the height, so that is why it is wider in the back than in the front - measurement includes going over the top of the knob. I need you to measure your chair back from the front side and the back side. You need to be sure you have it adjusted to the height you like for the cover to be perfect.
*Measure the same way you did for the seat, so I am getting the widest measurement.

The chair cover in the photo has about a hundred pleats in the skirt. If you prefer I can make your skirt with pleats only at the corners, or with a ruffle. I will assume you want the 100 pleat skirt unless otherwise specified.

This price is for office chairs with seats and backs up to 20" by 20" and a short skirt. If your chair is bigger than that, or if it has arms, please contact me with your measurements for a custom price quote.

The seat cover and the back cover are separate pieces. The seat cover is held in place with elastic at the bottom which is completely hidden. The back cover is held in place by the amazing custom fit.

Here is some feedback from a recent slipcover customer:
"Hi Cherie. I wanted to let you know that the slip cover arrived and it is just BEAUTIFUL. It fits the chair perfectly - just loose enough to go on easily, but fitted enough to look very sharp.

Thanks so much for the fine job you did on the slip cover. I am amazed you got such a good fit working on it with just pictures and measurements. I will definitely recommend your work to anyone who might be interested in slip covers."

Weekend Duffle Bag Made to Order

Mon, 09 Nov 2009 10:50:01 -0500

$149.00
A recent duffle customer said: Love, love, love the bag!!! Quality and adorable bags.....fast....and so easy to work with.

This example shows the duffle in Amy Butler home decor fabrics. It was made for a customer who will be mainly carrying it with a long shoulder strap attached to the rings. The more I know about how you will use the bag, the more I can customize it for you.

Dimensions:
20"(51cm)long
12"(30.5cm)deep
12" (30.5cm)high

I've been wondering for a while if I would ever make a bag so big that you could hide inside in case of emergency. Now I am glad I did.

One of these duffles was my family beach bag this Summer. Inside you will be able to carry a beach blanket(we use a queen size quilt,)5 beach towels, bathing suits for 5, and a cosmetic bag. The zippered outside pocket will hold sunscreen. The outside pouch pocket can hold cell phones or sunglasses. We'll be taking it to the ski slopes this Winter.

When I flew to Seattle the other day, I tried it out as my carry-on and it worked great. I think I was the best looking traveler in the airport. As far as carrying on an airplane though, you have to be aware not to load it to full capacity, so it will fit in the overhead bin. I had no problem at all.

The handles are made of jute webbing which is exteremly strong stuff that I also use in my upholstery work. I covered them partially with fabric to make them comfortable to hold, but left the edges showing because it looks great.

The fabric is quilted for added strength. Since this is made to order, I can certainly work with you to choose something you are excited about.

Everyone has a duffle bag, but not everyone has a gorgeous duffle bag. Practical, yet unique, this bag is totally you.

Please be prepared to communicate fabric choice and allow up to 2 weeks for completion of your bag.

Now for the DIY types, you can also buy the PDF pattern and instuctions for how to make this here:

I have one just like it that I use everyday, so I never leave my glasses lying around or in my bag unprotected.

This item ships via priority mail.

Custom Furniture Cover for Childs Dining Chair IKEA styles AGAM or HEPOLA

Sun, 08 Nov 2009 00:35:33 -0500

$115.00
These are small, armless, highish chairs, perfect for your 4-7 year old to join you at the table. You buy the chair, I sew the cover and ship to you via Priority Mail in the US.

Let me know if you have a theme you are working with, or a specific fabric request. The chairs in the photo are the same size and style, but shorter than the high chair and were made for tea party chairs in a girls room. I would expect your needs in the dining room would be more subtle. If you send me a photo of your dining area, or where the chair will be used, I will take special care to coordinate. We can exchange swatches or whatever it takes.

I have been sewing slip covers for about 8 years now and am a bit of a perfectionist. I am happy to send you references, or you can read the feedback here.

The way these work is that you pay 1/2 up front and the other half after I post the finished photos. Most people order them two at a time, so buying one listing becomes your down payment. The listed price is for 1 slipcover and includes labor and materials as well as shipping inside the US.

Feel free to contact me if you have any questions. I don't work on Sundays, so please allow reasonable time for me to get back to you.

**The finished bag has a perfectly flat bottom that measures approximately 5.5" wide by 2" deep.

**This pattern features a front exterior pocket with a snap closure that is perfect for folding money, credit cards, or gift card.

**The other wonderful thing about this pattern is that the lining has no bottom seam, making for a very strong bag that can hold a weeks worth of parking meter change. (Parking meters in Spokane are not as expensive as Seattle or San Francisco, so "mileage" of change will vary.)

If you are looking for a cute bag to make for gifts, try this. I think it will be a big hit! Wouldn't it be great filled with candies, cosmetic samples, lip tints or nail polishes? How about full of change for the friend who always gets parking tickets? Gift cards are nice too, tucked into the front pocket.

My instructions include extensive notes for making the bag in a variety of fabric types.

$89.00
Crypton Washable Organized Diaper Bag "Love"
Love that no one knows it's a diaperbag.
Love how beautiful and touchable it is.
Love how it stays clean.
Love how it simplifies travel with baby.

I've named it Super Momio Change Cube because it is fabricated of Crypton which is a super performance fabric. Developed to resist moisture, stains and bacteria - perfect for all the places you'll take this.

The integrated changing pad opens up to cover most changing tables completely.

Bag Size: 12" wide by 8" high by 5" deep.

I designed this bag, made the pattern, bought the fabric and hardware, and had it sewn by a local woman who has an industrial sewing machine in her home. This is a heavy duty, piece of baby luggage that can not be duplicated on a home sewing machine.

There is a place for everything in this bag, which makes even the newest Mom feel like a pro when she's out and about with the baby. The wipes are usable from their place in the bag, which is a feature that I pioneered a few years ago and that the big companies are beginning to catch up on.

A place for empty plastic disposal bags is incorporated as well.

The strap is fully adjustable to wear the bag across the body, or to carry it like a satchel.

Save by buying this bag here, directly from the designer.

Easy care - machine wash and dry.

My friend who has been testing the very first one for me since December of 2006, still uses it and loves it.

In the standing up photo, the pouch is filled with two size 5 diapers, a full travel wipes pouch, and a baby bottle.

One photo shows how you can access the pocket for wipes or whatever while the pad is still folded up.

One photo shows the pad partially unfolded.

The baby photo was obviously on a different pad - the mom kept that one!

I have received emails from people telling me how much they love these for toddlers because the size of the pad and how handy it is to use instead of a diaper bag.

The pad measures 18" x 28."

The pocket is 9" tall x 7" wide x 2.25" deep.

It folds up and secures in place to a compact 9" x 7" size, perfect for tossing in your tote bag. Believe me, when the "baby" is 2 years old, and you need to be prepared for a possible diaper change, you don't want to carry a diaper bag anymore!

This is also exactly what you need for traveling on an airplane with baby.

If you need this for a man, we probably are going to choose something other than Amy Butler fabrics, but I am happy to work with you to make it the perfect gift.

Since I am an upholsterer and slip coverer, most of what I do is custom work, so you can be assured of professional service. You will need to allow a couple of weeks for the item to be completed, then I will ship priority mail right away.

Feel free to contact me with questions. Amy Butler has a beautiful range of fabrics, lots of gorgeous pinks as in the photos and this season she has wonderful blues as well. We will agree on the fabrics before I begin sewing for you.

If you travel with your inventory to shows, this is a great way to protect your handiwork.

This suitcase is the smallest one in this set. It measures 20" x 15" x 7". It appears to have been used very little for it's age. I am guessing it is from the 60's or 70's. I purchased it from the original owners' son at their estate sale.

There is a stain on one of the inside pockets.

The outside is a little bit scuffed, but still has its nice, butter yellow color.

If you are interested in the entire set, all three are currently available. The medium sized bag can be found here:

And if you want photos of the large bag, I can provide them. The lining has come loose on the large bag.

Sat, 19 Sep 2009 10:46:03 -0400

$49.00
A great back to school bag for the person who wants to stand out - like my daughter. I made one just like this for her.

If you are buying this for a shorter person, let me know and I will make sure the strap will adjust more if needed.

The grey and black fabrics are USA made Crypton performance fabrics which are moisture, stain and bacteria resistant as well as washable! This is a bag that can take a lot of use and abuse and still look great and perform as well.

More details:
Under the flap, on the inside front of the bag, there is a generously sized pocket with a magnetized snap closure.

There is also a clip for your keys. It is a lanyard recycled from a conference name badge.

The strap is fully adjustable with simple belt type buckles on either side.

The dragon fabric is a cotton fabric, woven and printed in Japan.

The black Crypton suede in the back forms a flat pocket pocket for mail, a notebook, or similar items.

The dimensions are 11 inches wide 12 inches tall and 4 inches deep.

Studio Cherie bags can be found in high end boutiques around Seattle and Los Angeles. Save by buying directly from me here. Crypton bags usually sell for well over $100. This bag is an incredible deal.

Peace, Love and Crypton

Red Crypton Suede Gold Fringe Large Clutch

Sat, 19 Sep 2009 10:40:40 -0400

$44.99
Interior photo shows the amazing capacity of this clutch. The interior zippered pocket is quite spacious, and could hold the entire contents of the bag if you wanted it to.

The overall dimensions of the bag are:
Width 14"(35.5cm)
Height 6.25"(15.5cm)
Depth flat or up to 4"(10cm) thick

If you don't know about Crypton, let me just say it's your new favorite bag fabric. Made in the USA by a patented process to be moisture, stain and bacteria resistant, it is also washable without losing any of its performance properties. Imagine a bag you can set down anywhere without worry. This is it.

Due to the fringe, I am recommending hand washing on this item instead of machine washing. The crypton will keep it clean though, so washing would be rarely if ever necessary.

This item is ready to ship via priority mail. Gift wrapping available upon request.

Navy Blue Clutch

$36.00
Invisible magnetic closure. Amy Butler designer fabric.

This clutch is 10" wide by 5" tall by 2" deep.

For me this fits my small wallet, gum or mints, my business card case, and lipstick. There is room leftover, if you like to carry more make up, sunglasses, etc. 2 of the photos show the capacity of the clutch. My current contents are more like, new video camera, card-ID case, sunglasses, lipstick.

Clutches have completely invisible magnetic closures and a rigid form to them that helps them keep their shape no matter what you put inside.

These clutches are an elegant choice that your bridesmaids or mothers of the bride and groom. It is a gift they will appreciate for years to come. See my 5 for the price of 4 listing for bridesmaids sets.

Blue Argyle Compact Travel Changing Pad/Bag

Fri, 21 Aug 2009 15:04:06 -0400

$38.00
My most popular choice for boys and for hip new daddys.

Use the lead-free vinyl side for easy wipe up of messy changes, or the soft fleece side when you want some cozy time.

I designed this product to solve 2 of the most pressing travel with baby problems:
#1 Where do I set the wipes?
The design of the wipes pocket allows you to access wipes without removing them from the pocket, so they are always available during changes and even when the pad is folded. So if you need a wipe to wipe hands or face, they are handy.

#2 Which end of the baby do I leave hanging off the changing pad? This pad is 18" (45.5cm) wide by 28" (71cm) long to fully cover changing stations and even allow you to change toddlers comfortably.

The number one issue for traveling (or even just being out and about) with the not-yet-potty-trained-toddler is preparation for changes without carrying a diaper bag. All you have to do, is slip a diaper or two into the folds of this pad, and you are ready.

The pad folds and secures to a small 7" by 9" (18x23cm) size which you can then slip into your regular bag or carry by the strap.

Easy care, just machine wash and dry.

Keep one of these at Grandma's house too, so there is always a place ready to change baby, and she can keep it in a bathroom drawer.

Makes a great shower gift. Everyone will be impressed and want one for themselves.

Custom Slip Cover for IKEA childs chair AGEN

Sat, 08 Aug 2009 16:02:00 -0400

$125.00
You buy the chair at IKEA, and I sew the cover and mail it to you via Priority Mail. Free shipping in the US. $105 is the price per slip cover.

You may specify your color preferences and also let me know if you want 5 fabrics, as in this pink chair, or 2, as in the aqua and purple chair. Let me know if you have a theme you are working with, or a specific fabric request. These photos show a custom order I did for 2 little girls who do not want their chairs to match.

I have been sewing slip covers for about 8 years now and am a bit of a perfectionist. I am happy to send you references, or you can read the feedback here.

The way these work is that you pay 1/2 up front and the other half after I post the finished photos. Most people order them two at a time, so buying one listing becomes your down payment. If you just want one, I will post a new listing for your down payment. Just click on "request custom item" to the right on this page.

The cover has an underlining of fleece for padding on the seat, back and arms.

If you sew and you've always wanted to learn how to slip cover, my pattern is available for these chairs.
