This is a great way to see some awesome ideas and art that is being created...  If you want to see more artists, go to Instagram and search for the hash-tag #the100dayproject...

I was cautious to join this program as it does take a certain level of commitment, but I threw myself into the challenge and I am totally enjoying it.  I have met some wonderful new artists and have seen some great works!!!

Design: Cross it Over your Body...

New Design Prototype!

Well we are on a roll this weekend.... One of the prototypes are complete!!!! Now please, excuse the material choices and the sewing ewes and yucks....

This is a Cross Body I have wanted to design for sometime now. It extends down to below your hips (well my hips), strap is approximately 61" (possibly will be shorter) in total length and is attached up the side of the bag partially...

This unique 10" x 10" Cross Body Bag boasts a pocket inside and a flush pocket outside on the back... and has a modern looking flap with a snap closure...

Now there are just some minor changes I want to make, but I think this may be a winner!

Take a look at the photos and let me know your thoughts!!!

Size approximately: 10" (w) x 10" (h) x 1" (d)


A Flush Pocket has been inserted on the back side to hold your phone or photo ID/credit cards...


Strap is approximately 5/8" wide and runs partially up the side of the cross-body... (Honestly, I think I am going to make this wider...)


Uses a magnetic snap for the closure...



...even has an inside pocket!
