My creative space

With a market only 10 days away, I'm not too sure this is the time to be drafting designs for new bags. But after almost two years of the same bags it's happened. I'm bored. Actually, I could just be procrastinating on making more of the same bags for the market, but I suspect this time it's boredom.

Drafting new bag designs

Plus people seem to be asking for bigger project bags these days, for their crochet, knitting and sewing (I'm one of them) and stuffing your half-made jumper into a bright green eco Coles shopping bag isn't overly fashionable I suppose.

  8. That's all part of the designing process, you have go with it when it strikes. And yes, I couldn't agree more, bigger project bags are a must, I cut out one yesterday for my blanket I'm working on, too many balls of wool floating around, and popping them into a grocery bag just seemed wrong LOL

  11. You know I have just realised from reading this that I often stuff projects into a green bag and that I've thought, I should make something in basically the same size and pattern but in nice fabric. For shopping and craft!

    obviously you are onto something with your new design!

  14. There is nothing like drafting a new design at the last minute before an upcoming market. I'm guilty of that, but still we need to let the creativity out or else boredom will set in.

  15. I love the sock bags but longer ones for sweaters in progress would be great . good luck with the markets

  16. Yes, I decided that the green bags weren't very crafty and made a drawstring bag big enough for my crochet projects. It has worked beautifully. I think every crafter could do with at least one, so you should sell heaps! :)

  21. variety is good. New designs are good. Then you can come back to the old one a bit later on! Yay! No more boredom! Or by then you just need a new challenge. Look forward to seeing new bags.

  22. I reckon it's greazt to mix it up and try something new for a market. Gives it a fresh energy, even if you only get a few made. I like idea of a "project" bag too. Good luck!
