Metro Retro

It’s been a very encouraging beginning to The Bag Bar and we thank everyone for checking the website! Our future plan for the website is to run it as a blog as well so you can check back and stay up to date with what we’re up to, bag-wise. Especially when there are new fabrics arriving, we just wanna shout it to the world, we just can’t help sharing some fabric joy! Don’t forget that you can always leave a comment (or two!) on any blog topics that strike your fancy.

Here’s a mini-peek at a Mini-Melanie Bag I’m working on. I just loooooove this retro pink print. I’m pairing it with pink corduroy, which I happen to have. You can’t find it for hook or crook where we live so I’ve been hoarding it in my fabric stash and I’m finally getting to use it.

it's an all-pink galore!

My favourite part of making a bag that requires a button closure is choosing the right button. It can make or break the look, really!

Gorgeous pink fabrics get a gorgeous pink retro-look button. Ain't it just cute?!

Will post some photos up as soon as I finish it!

A Bar Is Born

We’re marking today as a special date in our calender, because www.thebagbar.com is finally rolling out! After weeks of hunkering down at our sewing machines and laptops, we’re the proud mamas of a brand-spanking new website. Hot -off-the-press, freshly squeezed and smack the baby’s bum and say hello. You get the gist!

So why The Bag Bar? Well, apart from our running joke ( “I love bags and you love bars!” )… It really is just a place where we hope like-minded people can share our passion for all things handmade.

So grab your bar chair, drink up our concoctions and tell us some wicked stories, will ya!
