These bags are from a pattern I snoozed on for a hot minute until watching the tutorial by Jess at and loved how hers turned out! These are all the by and I am now obsessed with how cute, simple and compact these are! There is a slanted zipper pocket on the front with a slip pocket just behind it. On the back of the bag is another zipper pocket. I added a d-ring to both sides so the sling can be worn on either the left or right on the wearer. The D-ring at the top is great for hanging the bag or attaching your keys, sliding a sunglasses ear piece thru or attaching a small wallet. The sling lays flat so it is great to wear under a jacket or shirt to protect your belongings. Perfect for travel!

Wow do I have some catching up to do! Finally coming through the other side of some health issues and able to get some sewing done and photos taken to show off what I'm working on! This is the by it was the August bag for and I loved making this bag! It definitely put me outside my comfort zone and made me analyze how I wanted this bag to turn out. She's a decent sized bag at approximately 10" wide x 8" tall x 4" deep. There are 2 carry handles for an over-the-arm look, but also 2 d-rings to attach a crossbody or shoulder strap! The front features a butterfly turn lock to secure the flap over the exterior slip pocket. The back features a slip pocket that is secured by a magnetic snap. When opened using the double zipper, this bag has a spacious main compartment with a zipper pocket along the interior back and a divided slip pocket along the interior front. This bag is quite structured and holds its shape well. I also love that the exterior blue vinyl and butterfly fabric are able to be wiped clean easily! ( am I right?!)

Took some time to update old photos on my with new background and better lighting! These bags have been around a little bit and needed a makeover on their listings! They are such a cute and functional bag! There are card slots inside and enough space for a phone, keys, chapstick, etc. Plus there's a slip pocket on the back! I love how light these are for when you just need the essentials!

These wallets came together so well! These feel so luxe, too! I can't decide what my favorite is. The butterflies seem to pop so nice against the black but those funky mushrooms are so fun! These wallets have 10 card slots plus a clear ID slot, 2 large slip pockets for bills or phones, plus a pen slot, all secured with a magnetic snap. There is a generous zipper pocket on the outside for loose change.

Made a jump from giant totes to cute little bags that pack a punch! These bags are so versatile! You can keep the wristlet band or take it off to make it a clutch, switch out the matching wristlet for a coordinating chain wristlet or chain shoulder or crossbody strap, or any other strap you want to add! The are small enough to fit inside a larger purse or tote bag, yet roomy enough for all your essentials! The dandelion print bag is closed with a twistlock and has 2 divider panels inside with 6 card slots each, plus a center zipper pocket. The Teal tweed is secured closed with a magnetic snap and has 1 double sided card slot panel divider that holds 12 cards (6 on each side) and a zipper pocket. With a super roomy center section for chunky keys, a small book, some makeup, toys to keep the kids busy, a snack, or whatever else you can think of to put in there! What would YOU keep in a Peony?!

Pictures don't do this beauty justice. This is the March Pattern for Bag of the Month Club. Also an XL bag like my last make, but this is and absolutely loaded with features! The large flap closes with a magnetic snap over the main compartment that is secured by a zipper. There are magnetic snaps on each side of the main compartment to cinch it in tighter, or let it out to expand. Unzip the main compartment to find a roomy, padded slip pocket perfect for a laptop, a deep zipper pocket, 2 slip pockets below the zipper pocket, a key minder clip and pocket, and a water bottle pocket! Plus plenty of space for anything else you need to carry. Then, there's the hidden slip behind the main compartment, under the flap!
