We are gearing up for my husband's imminent retirement - great news!
And on the bag front I've continued to experiment. I tried sewing jean parts directly to a lining fabric which worked okay and required a bit more planning about what layer would be on top or bottom. A lining makes a bag heavier.
I didn't make the first half any faster, in fact I had trouble with my machine stalling so it felt like it took forever on the first half. The second half was very fast as I made it with only top-to-bottom length strips and I loved the look.
And... we went out looking for something to use as a display stand for the bags and found the coolest door at Urban Ore in Berkeley.
http://urbanore.com/ has Three acres of recycled goods in the San Francisco Bay Area.
My new door is an old style interior door with a mirror on one side which will be perfect for displaying at outdoor events. George is going to find a way to make it stand up.
It will be painted an orange (that is complementary to blue-jean blue) and will have those magical forks from Etsy for hooks.
