About this Product
This cute denim bag is designed to hold just about anything you want to carry with you. The Gnome is embroidered on a center pocket with a smaller pocket on each side of him. The other side of the bag has a spacer mesh pocket with an adjustable cord closure to carry a water bottle or other bulky items. The inside is fully lined with durable fabric. Each side has several smaller pockets of varying sizes to hold the smaller things and keep them from getting lost in the bottom of the bag. A handy leash with a snap will clip to your keychain so you don't lose track of your keys.
The bag measures 16" across by 13.5" tall by 6" deep. The handles have an 8" drop.
All my bags are sewn on industrial machines with heavyweight nylon or polyester thread and are designed to last.

Meet the Maker
I started making things when I was a child. My mom was a sewer. She sewed our clothes and sewed for neighbors who wanted clothes made for special occasions. I always wanted to "help" her with her sewing, so she taught me to sew for myself. By the time I was 11 I started making my own clothes from my own patterns. My mom was not a hoverer and would let me decide what to make and pick out the fabric. I made mistakes and learned a lot.
In my later teens I started making leather purses and my mom would sell some of them to women she worked with. I learned how to knit to make my own sweaters and I crocheted afghans and made gifts for family and friends.
When we bought some horses I learned how to make leather bridles, reins and halters. Then I heard about Biothane and started making horse tack from it and sold a lot of custom bridles and halters online.
When my neighbor started his own medical device company he needed someone who knew how to sew, so I went to work for him for several years. I trained and supervised the sewers and worked in R&D developing new products. When the company was sold to a huge corporation it was time for me to move on, creativity and big business don't seem to work well together.
It was at this time that I decided to do what I'd wanted to do for years, make jewelry. I started out with copper because it's easy to get and inexpensive. I thought I'd practice with copper and then move on to sterling silver once I got good at it. The more I worked with copper the more I appreciated how beautiful it is and silver seemed kind of boring in comparison. I tried wire wrapping first because it seemed easier than trying to shape copper sheet. After awhile wrapping wire started to feel tedious and repetitive so I decided to get out my torch and hammers and try shaping copper sheet instead. I watched a few YouTube videos to get an idea of how to start. Once I got going I realized this was what I really enjoyed. Who knew heating copper to a cherry red and beating it with a hammer could be so much fun!
Since I enjoy making the components for jewelry more than assembling the pieces to make a finished piece, I'm selling the bead caps, coiled beads, links, bails and chains so others can design their own. I hope you enjoy browsing through my shop. If you have any questions, just ask.

How it’s Made
I enjoy embellishing my bags with embroidery to make them unique. Choosing which colors to use is the hardest part.
