My name is MaryBeth, I am a wife to a very supportive husband, mother of 2 very active boys, and the sole seamstress and designer behind "Island Girl Bags". I started sewing in 7th grade when I learned in Mrs. Hall's home-ec class and I haven't stopped since. My mother helped me perfect the skill during my high school years and I make a lot of my clothes. Let me tell you, I had "hammer pants" in every color!
Through out the years I've always admired those people at arts and craft shows...thinking "I can do that"! Well in 2007, my friend and I took the plunge and did our first arts and crafts show. I haven't turned back since. I sell most of my handbags and accessories at these types of shows and I also started doing home Trunk Shows in 2009.
I love making one of a kind handbags and accessories to match your personality! Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or concerns, my door is always open!
