Hexagonal Kimono Bag - Front

Slim Line Shopping Bag

This stylish slim line bag with clean cut lines is affectionately nicknamed the "Panda Tote" in-house at Chandlers Cottage! It was designed by Amanda Davidson to show off the stunning fabric in the original sample shown on the left. Amanda is often called Panda and it's not just a slip of the tongue, she designs and makes the most divine Panda bears, and is guilty of being drawn to all things beautiful that are black and white on more than one occasion! You'll see some of her gorgeous bears in our Gallery from the Spring Quilt show last year. The bag design is very practical and it's slim sides make it easy to find things in, especially with the set in interior pockets. It's also perfect for showing off beautiful large prints such as many of our Orientals. You know, those ones you just can't bring yourself to cut up!

Japanese Hand Bag

Japanese Hand Bag

The cutest little number, with lots of interesting little blocks. If you like an Oriental print, primarily for it's colours, then this is the perfect pattern.  You can fussy cut different sections from the fabric, for different parts of the bag and create the illusion they have all been cut from different fabrics!  Make an every day one in blues, or an evening bag with silks, metallics and add some beading and charms.

Japanese Lunch Bag

Japanese Lunch Bag

The name is no joke, Japanese students really do take their lunches to school in small cloth bags just like this one!  This little drawstring bag is very versatile and quick and easy to make. Use for sewing evenings with friends, for little girls ballet shoes, a very special make up bag or dare I suggest, a sandwich bag!
