happy monday friends!
I hope your weekend was lovely - yesterday was filled with sunshine and folks were wandering the streets without a jacket - oh weather - always playing tricks on me.
I have so much to tell you and such little time - so today I have two posts to tell you about, firstly a new bag - by chance I found a small quantity of this beautiful sailcloth fabric and knew immediately it would make a wonderful bag - because the bag has a coating on it to make it waterproof I couldn't print on it - which is fine - I just thought I would add a few little details like the gusset and the top edge - I really like how nice it looks without the top stitching and the little grommets. please check it out in the shop - there's not going to be a lot made since I only have a small roll of the fabric.
secondly, some of my stationary work is featured in this month's designlines - and to celebrate I made a little set of screen printed tags - I only made a limited amount - so get them while you can. I changed the colours of the porcupine and the hare - they both use to be green and I think these colours really defines john's line drawings. I'm off to spend the day with a new intern (this week only I have three interns, plus of course my new assistant kristen).
enjoy your monday - today is going to be a busy one - will tell you why later! xxa

  13. Would this be a totally impractical diaper bag? I'm going to be a new mom and want something that my husband and I can both use. I love this bag but don't know if I should get something with pockets instead...

    the fabric would be great as a diaper bag
    email me - I can talk to you about doing one with pockets

  16. Hi Arounna,
    I'm not sure if it's intentional, but your etsy listing for the sailcloth bag says it ships from Japan??
