This is the bag for The Secret Chapter – small enough to fit well, large enough for everything important ;-)

The pattern is actually a leather pattern from DieselpunkRo’s wonderful Etsy shop.

It was a real challenge to change this pattern for a purely fabric bag. Given this experiment, I’m still somewhat satisfied with the slightly messy result.

But I definitely have to make the pattern again out of leather ;-)

This cute and kitschy crochet bag goes perfectly with the Ornate Lace Scarf, the Seashell Fan Crochet Mini or the Boho Crochet Skirt. It is quite spacious and has a practical small inside pocket.

This bag is again based on instructions from the book “Colorful Crochet Lace” by Mary Jane Hall. I tried to stick to the instructions as closely as possible. The lining for my bag consists of two different fabrics (black outside, floral pattern inside) with a small inside pocket.
The only notable change to the pattern is that I’ve added three snap fasteners to close instead of just one.

This sweet little bag is made with the pattern ButterCup Bag by Rae, matching the Picknick Dress.
This will definitely not be the last time I used this pattern ;-)

This bag is ment to be an accessory for the Mourning Robe.
Here I used again the ButterCup Bag pattern from Rae, even when this time there is an additional lace ruffle and the handle is attached on the side.

The bag got its form from the clock face print of the fabric. It consists simply of two cut-out clock faces, which I stabilised with some fusible fleece, and one straight band with a zipper.
The seams are trimmed with a braid on the outside.

So the bag is the perfect accessory for the Tick-Tock Dress.

This little quickly sewn bag I made especially for my new digi-cam. It is my first attempt to work with leather and I took the leather from an old corsage ;-)

The rough style of the bag goes great with Steampunk or medieval outfits, so you can easily disguise the modern digi-cam at such events :-)

A small round pompadour bag made out of coppery taffeta with black lace on it matching the Copper Dress. Only the absolutely necessary stuff fits into it and the content gives the form to the bag ;-)
If I had not used the remainders of the Dress, I would estimate the cost of material was about 14 EUR.

Was part of the exhibition Machina Nostalgica in 2013!

A tiny little handbag for evening dresses. With a size of just 15x12cm you can put a handy and a lipstick into it and its full – but it looks so cute ;-)

A remainder of lace from the Lace-Top and some lining taffeta was used for this bag and also some knotted tulle for the handle.

The bag is sewn by hand.
