SunshineBags

Sewing is one of the first things my mother taught me as a child and it continues to be one thing I still love! I never thought of it as a craft or hobby, but more of a necessity. She used to make all my dresses - I have crooked hips and and small shoulders, so buying a dress off the shelf never looked quite right on me. Once I got old enough, I began making my own dresses, tops, jacket and my favorite... HALLOWEEN COSTUMES!! :0)

Another one of my all time favorites, is bags! All shapes, sizes and colors, I have quite a collection! Many times I would search the stores for a bag that had a particular use and noticed it was hard to find "just the right" bag, purse, wallet etc, so I would sit down with a chunk of fabric and custom design one. Those were the ones I always got compliments on, because they were truly unique designs. The bags you will find on my page may have started as a standard pattern, but as I develop each style, I change it up and add my own touches, so that each one is different. Some of the bags are created with prototypes right out of my head, from a crazy concept or vision I had.

I believe that handmade items are special and unique. In my shop, and life, no two items are alike, and yes, there may be tiny "handmade" flaws. I do, however, still believe there has to be quality control, and will not send you anything I would not use myself.

I hope you enjoy my bags, my page and my story, and if you do, please feel free to share with your friends! Thanks for stopping by!! Heather
