Bags for all Occassions!

These bags get to see the world a bit before they fall into your hands, battle tested and showcased to the masses.

Part three of the commissioned works series, the work being done in the studio and at the booth continues to catch eyes, hearts, and minds, and in the case of this set: Flights! A few of this series had the peasure of going across the country with me as I made waves outside of Michigan, namely in San Diego, California (on the Macro Scale) and Italy, Texas (on the more Micro Scale). Some were purpose built, while others were coincidentally matching with what I had to offer, either way, this was a roaring success in the month of July, as events compounded to make MHD a name others would remember.

This set also includes one of my more zaney commissions, color scheme-wise, but I will let all of you be the judges regarding how it turned out, as it now resides in Ohio, as a camping bag. I was more than happy to work on it and I hope it gets mileage when it is used.

These entries are pieces of me, I see my time constraints like the market hours or the time before a scheduled plane trip as less than deadlines, but as challenges, races to be won with technique and assuredness in my design. What I churn out manages to mesmerize and for that I am endlessly grateful because I am merely making what was once admired or fawned over able to be done so tenfold as a useable product. Feel free to scroll down this page to see what I came up with, where I took it, and in some cases, where it would end up next.

These two were made at my booth.

Another few were done either shortly prior to the market, or literally on the spot. With an electrical outlet and my eyes, I was able to churn out a Vertical English Bond Brick Bag, as an accompanying twin to a Horizontal Warm-Toned Bag that got hungrily purchased as its volcanic energy caught the eye of a market-goer.

Going forward, I am also altering the Small Bag Pattern to properly incorporate the tag into the design, I have had far too many needles break in my endeavors of sewing the final seam through 8 layers of fabric. It was either alter the design or spring for a new machine, and while the latter is inevitable, for the time being I think that having the loop incorporate the D-Ring and Clip for the Crossbody Strap just makes sense.
