Q Where does the fabric come from?

A. 1. I use fabric that has come from people who are clearing out their fabric stash because they don’t want to throw it away and have it end up in the landfill when it’s in perfectly good condition. I also use my own remnants from my own sewing. All fabric is washed before being made into something new.

A. 2. When necessary, especially for ornaments, I buy fabrics from other small businesses.

Q. Why don’t you add the handle to the side of the bag like I’ve seen on other bags?

A. I add a handle with a lobster clasp to the zipper tab because I, and my customers, have found that it’s easier to open rather than fiddling with a zipper tab by itself. Having the handles added this way make it more accessible to those who may have pain in the hands, e.g. arthritis, which makes it harder for them to get hold of the zipper tab.

Q. All the linings look like they’re white, why not use colors.

A. 1. I inherited a large quantity of sheets and since they didn’t fit our beds, it made sense to use them as the bag linings.

A. 2. I’ve found that a light colored lining helps the contents to be seen more easily. I’ve been given some lovely project bags with lining that are dark prints and it’s harder for me to see if I’ve left something at the bottom, like a small pair of scissors.
