The frames, which are from uhandbag are the same frames used in this bag.
The fabric for the bridesmaid bags is an ivory faux silk from Plush Addict . I also bought a Skinny Dips bundle in lilacs and purples from Plush Addict so that each of the bags would have a different fabric for the interior.
The icing on the cake though are the beautifully machine embroidered Gothic initials courtesy of the very talented Benta, who translated our vision into reality.
I have never been so nervous, knowing that I only had one chance to get these bags right as not only did I not have enough material for second attempts, but I definitely didn't have time to get the initials embroidered again. No pressure there then!
We are past the halfway stage now, four bags down only three to go!
Beautiful bags, Fiona!!! Again, love the pop of colour on the inside. Half done - you'll have the rest done in no time.
ReplyDeleteThey look brilliant! Hope you aren't too exhausted by the wedding:-)
ReplyDeleteyou are doing an amazing job Fiona - they are beautiful bags - I love the purple linings especially :-) Hope the wedding is a wonderful day for everyone.
ReplyDeleteThey are looking fantastic! I really like that each one is unique on the interior. Almost there, and I hope the wedding day is wonderful and enjoyable!
ReplyDeleteThey're gorgeous! Enjoy the wedding.
ReplyDeleteThe bags look great! I really like how you chose to make the linings the same color, but different prints. Good luck with the rest of the bags!
ReplyDeleteLooking good! Fingers crossed for the other 3.
ReplyDeleteLooking great. You've got this :)
ReplyDeleteI saw those gothic initials on her blog - I didn't know they were for YOU, lol! Those bags are luscious - I imagine you'll have the last 3 done in no time flat!
ReplyDeletebeautiful bags Fiona and such a lovely keepsake/present for the girls!!! is the frame a shell of a purse that you cover with fabric or is the frame only the clasp? these handmade items are so much better than anything that could have been found in a store!!!
ReplyDeleteOh wow! I hadn't imagined anything quite so wonderful! Well done! Wishing the bride and groom and Andrex marriage - soft, strong, and very very long! Xx
ReplyDeleteThese are so gorgeous! You obviously thrive under pressure :)
ReplyDeleteVery professional looking! You did a beautiful job of making the bags.
