Fabulous Bags Hit New York!

[NannDee]

This is my 3rd original bag design. Most of them are inspired by stitches I learned while making various baby blankets. I ws encourage to take them to a designers Open Call at Bendels in NYC. The buyer liked them, but conveyed that they have problems selling bags that have little or no structure. I had 90 seconds to show my stuff. I saw some of our fellow crocheters in line as well. One Happy Hooker got her chance to take the fashion world by storm. Congratulations..whoever you are! She was wearing a gorgeous shrug! I am taking another chance next year...:hook

Your work is beautiful! How exciting for you. You'll get'em next year!

Maybe you can reinforce your lining itself with fusible interfacing. I'm sure that will give your bags much support. There are so many strengths of interfacing that you can try. Maybe even plastic canvas.

Best wishes.

Thanks! I re-inforced the bottoms with plantic canvas. I think I will add leather the next time. I will get them next time!

Thanks! I have thought of selling the pattern, but not sure how to go about it. I need to read up on it ASAP! I have three designs that I can submit.

Love them! They don't look like they are too lacking in structure to me. Maybe I just like bags that fit whatever I need to stuff in them at the time.

Your bags are really nice, they look like bags you would find in an expensive boutique. I'd buy one (if I could afford it! LOL). They look pretty structured to me. I'd be interested in buying the pattern if you ever decide to sell it. Congrats on pursuing your dream...keep at it!:cheer:cheer You are a talented designer.
