Instructional video for Bali Bags – Alternative to Clothesline

June 09, 2010  //  Posted by: admin  //  Category: black handbags

We have developed an alternative technique for filling the 2 1/2″ fabric strips with cotton batting or cotton flannel insteady of cotton clothesline. We recommend this method Bali Bags, Bali Squared, Bali Briefcase and Bali Bath patterns. The rope is softer and more pliable and does not have the ridgitiy needed for the Bali Box and Bali Bowl projects.

how to make a CAPRI SUN BACKPACK!!!

May 28, 2010  //  Posted by: admin  //  Category: backpack purses

song – of montreal “Wraith Pinned to the Mist and Other Games”
video – me

*UPDATE*
DIRECTIONS:
5 main parts, front, back, bottom, top, straps

1- the front and back are made of 9 pouches.. 3×3
2- the bottom is made out of 5 pouches.
3- the top is made out of 6, then u cut in half and add the zipper
4- the straps: i just have foam, cut to comfort/size wrapped in a nylon fabric and stapled( the sewing machine broke several times the first time i tried sewing this much material). make sure to leave extra space at both ends of the nylon so u can attach the rope part of the straps and attach it to the backpack itself.
5- so basically, the straps are 3 parts. 1. the foam part. 2. the rope part u attach to the foam (1:14 in video). 3. the rope u attach to the main 3×3 back of the backpack (1:25 in video)

so now u have the front (3×3 cut with the curved top), the back (3×3 with straps attached and cut with the curved top), the top with the zipper, and the bottom.

optional: on my backpack, i put the green liner on the front, back, and bottom parts. you can do this by simply sewing a desired material to the capri sun.

now, the hard part, attaching all the main parts.

i do this inside out. so my green liner was on the outside, and the capri sun was on the inside. Then, when you are all done sewing, you reverse it inside out.

this is how i sewed the parts in order.

1.you have the back part with the straps, capri sun side facing you then u attach the bottom so u have equal amounts on each side
2. then you attach the zipper, making sure its equal on both sides.
3. then u attach the top. making sure the material(green liner) side is facing you. you should end with a backpack thats all capri sun on the inside, and all material on the outside.
4.then u flip it inside out.

hopefully this helps.. the last steps are the hardest and take the most time

Gucci Handbags

March 15, 2010  //  Posted by: admin  //  Category: oversized handbags

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002JQYEUU?ie=UTF8&tag=husohdxrre-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B002JQYEUU
At our website you can easily buy Gucci handbags at discounted prices, sale prices and all you need is choosing the item you desire among hundreds of Gucci. Wonderful Gucci handbags collection: authentic Gucci handbags and discount Gucci handbags by Amazon.
Gucci Replica Handbags for sale , Gucci bags, Gucci 2009 Handbags, Replica Gucci Handbags,High Quality, 100% Genuine Leather. Gucci presents the Hysteria collection, invented and designed by Creative Director Frida Giannini, an extensive and covetable new series of elegant bags in six powerful shapes. She has also introduced the Gucci crest into the design vocabulary of the collection and uses them as decorative metal studs.

Gucci’s Spring Summer 2008 accessories fashion statement, this collection of handbags “has a cool ambivalence about it that matches the attitude of the ready to wear,” explains Giannini. “It’s a bit mysterious and dark, but also very sexy.”

The large, incredibly soft and lightweight handbags, from sleek to squishy, are spacious and oversized. Luxurious details, such as the Gucci crest studs, add sophistication, while the graphic colors and choice of materials anchors the collection in youthful modernity.

Modern materials and shapes contrast purposefully with Gucci’s historical crest. Introduced in the 1950s by Guccio Gucci, it depicts a knight in armor carrying luggage, under a rose and helm, symbolizing the family’s refinement and entrepreneurial power. An early Gucci branding tool, the crest was recently re-inserted into a modern day context, as a decorative metal hardware throughout the Hysteria collection.

Together with the collection’s key colors (metal bronze, yellow, pink, white and black), the crest provides a striking visual effect, and a melding of Gucci’s rich history with its bright future. Gucci handbags
