The fuschia-theme accessory set includes a large zipper pouch with a creamy, faux leather base. I lined the zipper pouch with waterproof PUL (Polyurethane Laminated Fabric). The smaller zipper pouch is lined with quilt cotton. The smaller pouch t is suitable for coins, earbuds or a mask.  Both pouches feature a deep pink Blue Calla zipper. This accessory set includes a two-tone key ring wristlet. I always clip one of these to my keys. It helps me find them when they hide in the bottom of my purse.

The Breast Cancer “Hope” handmade accessory set features “Love Pink” coordinating fabrics from Windham Fabrics and white faux leather. I used a lovely pink zipper to which I added a “Be Fierce” charm.  The two-tone key ring wristlet features a pretty, crystal rivet.

The gorgeous chickadee and pussywillow zipper pouch features “First Snowfall” fabric from Hoffman Fabrics. I paired it with a black faux suede base and lined it with waterproof PUL. I added a small snowflake charm to the dark blue Blue Calla zipper and pull.

Gift sets range in price from $40 to $60.

I like the idea that, during the hockey season, my friend could display one side of her bag and, in the off-season, she could turn it inside out and enjoy the lush Balinesia print. I could not be happier with the final result. The bag is just as lovely as I had hoped it would be.

This tote is perfect for carrying shopping or on road trips but it is equally suitable for use inside the home. I envision it with wool and needles for a knitting project, swim or gym wear, reading material, or carrying a baguette and cheese.

The story attached to the black and white tote is just as special to me. It was made for a woman who was recently widowed.  I was asked to line each of the pockets with a fabric that would be especially significant for her. I have never revealed anything about the pocket linings but the entire tote was planned around those two unrelated fabrics. I wanted a neutral “background” for the bag and then to find colors for the exterior pockets that would coordinate with the secret linings and tie everything together.

In the Reversible Box Tote Gallery –

The black and white Reversible Box Tote was made with fabrics from the Simply Neutral collection by Deborah Edwards of Northcott Fabrics. The yellow and salmon pockets were made with quilt cotton from Windham Fabrics.  Each of the pockets is lined with a fabric that has special significance to the lady who was given the bag.

The blue and green Reversible Box Tote was made with blue twill, Vancouver Canucks quilt cotton, and “Balinesia” by Dover Hill for Benartex 

Pricing is determined by fabric choices and customization.

Clip it to a bag, a lanyard or backpack to keep important small items easy to find. The custom-made pouch is great for holding earbuds, money, identification, an inhaler, keys, a membership card, and more.  The size and shape of this pouch can also be adjusted to accommodate an epi-pen. Add a wrist strap and it becomes a fun accessory for runners and dog walkers. Use seasonal or party fabric and it can be reused as “gift wrap.”

In the Boxy Zipper Pouch Gallery –

This beautiful green and blue fabric is “Balinesia” by Dover Hill for Benartex. I paired it with a pretty turquoise zipper.

The wintery chickadee zipper pouch was made to coordinate with a Clydebank Tote. The fabric is  “First Snowfall” by Hoffman Fabrics. 

The Halloween and Christmas-theme boxy zipper pouches were made with various fabrics from my “stash.”

In the end, I decided to describe exactly what it is. It’s a charming and often fun dog poop bag holder.

There’s nothing clever or snappy about the name. It tells you exactly what to expect from this small, handcrafted accessory.

The blue bag you see on the left was my first attempt at a dog poop bag holder. As you can see, the bags are dispensed through a grommet in the side of the zipper pouch. For convenience, the bag has a swivel clasp that is attached to a stretchy wrist strap.

I have modified the bag a bit since this first one. My second bag was white with black paw prints and it is a little “boxier” while still playful.

There are no limits on this small, handmade accessory. We can create one to match a new tote or crossbody bag. We can make one to coordinate with your dressiest clothes. They are designed to hold one roll of bags but there is also room for a house key and/or some money for a coffee.

Almost all of the dog poop bag holders I make are “custom orders” and are priced at $20 each. Please contact me to order one or more.

If you prefer a large bag, this pattern is very adaptable. It can be made taller or both taller and wider. The gleaming, teal crossbody bag was handcrafted in two, coordinating “Shimmer” prints by Deborah Edwards for Northcott.

I subsequently received orders for custom-made zipper pouches. For these, I upgraded the zippers, added charms to the zipper pulls, and used a variety of coordinating fabrics. The handcrafted zipper pouches are very versatile. They are spacious enough to hold make-up, sanitary supplies, an epi-pen, infant needs, or toiletries. They can be made in quilt cotton, faux leather, outdoor fabric, canvas, cork, or vinyl. They can be “blinged up” with shiny rivets and fun charms.

A zipper pouch is a great add-on to a tote bag. For the Las Vegas theme Sheridan Tote, I added a swivel hook to the exterior of the zipper pouch and a ring to the top of the tote. Clip the pouch to the tote and you’ll never struggle to find it! It is always close at hand.

Please contact me to order one or more custom zipper pouch.

The abstract, watercolor blue pouch interior and lining fabrics are from the Ink Flowers collection by Ninola Design for P & B Textiles.

The vibrant pink pouch exterior and lining are both from Boho Owls by Connie Haley for  3 Wishes Fabrics.

The colorful giraffe, monkey, and hippo fabric is “Jumpin’ Jungle” for Jelly Bean Junction licensed to MM Fab, Inc

The pretty deep blue floral pouch is made with “Rock Garden” by Teresa Ascone for P & B Textiles.

The rabbit-theme zipper pouches were handcrafted especially for Richmond-based Rabbitats Rescue Society. They are slightly smaller than the other zipper pouches but are still a great way to keep essentials tidy.

This roomy boxy bag is perfect for keeping things organized at home, in a locker at school, at the office, in a larger gym bag or when traveling.

Each of these handcrafted gifts was made with a specific person in mind. The fabrics were chosen to reflect favorite colors, hobbies, and activities. I used quilt cotton, canvas, twill, faux leather and vinyl.

This pattern was originally designed by Kelby Sews. I have made adjustments to the original design with each bag.

Please contact me to discuss options for a custom boxy bag.

Many customizations are available with this bag. It can be made with or without hardware (strap connectors). The top of this tote can be left open or it can be closed with a magnet or a zipper. The Bespoke Ethel Totes pictured here have each been paired with a clip-on pouch for a small bottle of hand sanitizer or, in the case of the cassette bag, a phone. The pouches can be clipped to a strap connector or to a ring added specifically for this purpose.

Please contact me  to discuss a custom Bespoke Ethel Tote for yourself or someone you love.

The spectacular hummingbird fabric is Morning Glory Shimmer by Deborah Edwards for Northcott. I paired it with a lime green Spradling vinyl and I made a coordinating Hand Sanitizer Bottle Pouch that clips onto the bag.

The gorgeous exterior accent fabric of the blue floral bag is “Rock Garden” by Teresa Ascone for PB Textiles.  I coordinated it with sapphire vinyl from Spradling Vinyl and gold-finish hardware. The pretty lining is “Unusual Garden” by Jason Yenter for  In The Beginning Fabrics.

The feature exterior print for the “cork” bag pockets is “Vineyard Classics” designed by Maria Kalinowski for Kanvas Studio of Benartex Fabrics. I used gunmetal finish rectangular rings to attach the straps to this bag. The main bag is upholstery/home decor fabric.

The custom-made “Cassette” bag and cell phone holder feature two delightful and colorful Rebel Girl fabrics designed by Lysa Flower for PBS Fabrics. I used one for the exterior pockets and the other for the bag lining. The bag itself is made with black canvas. I also custom-made a small pouch, especially for a phone. The pouch attaches to a ring on the tote with a swivel hook.

The taupe Ethel has many modifications including changing the handles to an adjustable crossbody strap and adding a zipper closure to the top. I used a durable Sunbrella fabric in “Linen Stone” for the exterior and quilt cottons in the interior.

The pattern for Ethel Tote was designed by Swoon Sewing Patterns.
