Hi Kindra,

No, I usually sell to friends and relatives. I cannot possibly recover the cost on Etsy. Sometimes I do commissions but with high-end prices. The design process is exacting and trying so I do try to avoid it unless it is a very simple job.

Thanks for asking, though. Here are a few photos of my favourites:

Roy Lichenstein-style purse
I love blueberries. With red linen cuff, button closure and old-fashioned rick-rack.
Polka dot and checked print
Pillar-box-red messenger bag with outsize frilled button in contrasting green
Owl Shopper with black-and-white check detail
Colourful, jaunty girl’s bag that I gave to my niece as a present
Frilled purse with faux leather handles
I sewed lace and buttons onto these jeans BY HAND. More than 60 buttons! The effect was fabulous, though I say so myself
Hollywood Golden Greats purse
My sewing companion sewed this lovely butterfly purse. I also sewed a sports bag in this fabric
I got this amazing turquoise lobster/crab print with complementary orange accents from an American custom-printing company in North Carolina
Retro with lemon cuff
I upcycled a rice bag with this amazing giraffe print
The photo dosen’t do this amazing fabric justice. Native American Indian symbols: spirals, the hand, horses, the man from mars
This bag is still in stock. It is a most unusual French arty print in deep red that I have embellished with red string (using the wonderful couching foot). It is lined with a high-end brocade-like fabric with an inside zipper pocket and burning orange straps.

BHD: I haven’t forgotten that you asked once too. I hope you both like the photos.xxx
