Sweet, Charming, Delicate

It began with a sample book like this one.

I removed the fabric samples.

I used the amazing fabric pieces and made these bags.

I used a coordinating fabric as the liner.

And ribbon for a loop.

I imagine them holding family relics...

Like jewelry.

This is one of my favorites.

I feel connected to my Portuguese roots when I work with such pretty fabric.  The Portuguese are fond of lacy things, and their valuables too.  These blend the two.
