Geo Chocolate Nile

That is the name given to the fabric for my 4th Dee shoulder bag. I decided to accent the blue in the print for the lining and strap contrast. I think it helps brighten it up.


The bottom is blue too, just like all the bags with the contrasting color. The blue may get dirtier than the print would, but if I make all the bags with dirt in mind, most of them would not get made. Lighter colors get dirty, it's just the way it is. I actually snicker to myself a bit whenever I see someone set their bags down on the ground & then get upset when the bottom gets dirty. Um, yeah, it's gonna happen when you set stuff down on the ground.
Anyway...


I am really liking what initially was done because of a fabric shortage...the contrasting top bits of the straps. The underside was always a contrast, but the tops came about from a goof.

And lastly, the inside. This sucker is just huge. Seems that way to me anyhow. Although, my bags tend to be on the smaller side. But I could totally fill this up - easy.

Blue and Green Diamond Pillows

More diamond reverse applique pillows. These two were made with Matelasse like my first yellow one. The green one has pink and yellow stitching, although the yellow is difficult to see in this pic.

And the back...

The blue...with a too bright flash that washed out the color. Darn me for finishing the pillow at night :P

And the back side...

I like how these close ups show the stitching. I semi-randomly chose the stitch paths. I like how they run into the other diamond sometimes.
