just call me bag lady
I guess I am going through a bag phase….
I actually finished this one before the Fujiwo Ishimoto bag but hadn’t taken photos of it. It’s made using Lara Cameron’s Rainy Day Autumn, which is hand-printed on an organic cotton/hemp blend. The base of the bag is reinforced with sturdy interfacing to hold shape and anything else that needs holding.
What I really enjoy about Lara’s textiles is her use of colour. My mum has a bit of a knack for combining colours that you wouldn’t expect to match traditionally. I, unfortunately, did not inherit this, so really appreciate when I see that blue, teal, grey, and mustard can come together to create the feel of the cutest rainy autumn day.
Made a trip to the button shop in Newtown to add the finishing touch. God, I love that shop, yet am still surprised that there are always several other people in there whenever I drop by…

Hey Susie,
just found your blog. You have some amazing things here (I really like the bags). So, do you have a store? I guess I was confised by the sewn-by-susie tag business.
