…. and so are summer’s colours! We just got these fabulous patterns delivered and they’re just gorgeous!??  Very good quality light-weight cottons, should do well in vibrant, simply cut bags or totes.

Unfortunately we can’t offer custom-orders using these patterns as they’ve been dreamed up and cut up for our next collection already. But do keep a look out for our next collection!

Sometimes we get the odd requests by friends or by the friend of a friend to make a ‘special’ bag for them.  For instance, this ‘Porket’ bag.  One friend went round to the apartment, saw the ‘piggy’ fabric and begged us to make her a bag using it.

So we decided to design a bag for her from scratch rather than use patterns from bags we had already made.

As I was sketching the pockets for the bag, Phyllis looked up from her sewing machine and said, ‘No pressure dear, but that fabric is the last one in print.’ I think I got a little nervous, so instead of labeling the pocket as a “Pocket”, I wrote PORKET.

After picking ourselves off the floor from laughing so hard, we both realized it was an appropriate name for the bag because of the little piggies dotted around the fabric!

And for that, we present you the ‘PORK’ET bag made especially for Elizabeth from the US.
