We really do have the best and most interesting customers. Daniel has recently taken up sewing after inheriting an old sewing machine. Check out the beauty below. (A tip from Daniel is that you can get spare sewing machine parts and the like for older machines from Helen Howes). He has started off by making these fab totes in order to hone those sewing skills. You can see more on his flickr account.
The colours are so delicious and looks to me like he is off to a flying start. I especially like that the fun doesn’t end with the outside of the bag but the bags are also lined with eye popping wax print too.
Here is a sewing tip from Daniel, the handles on the totes are padded with interfacing. Sturdier construction and longer-lasting. I am really looking forward to seeing more of his upcoming projects. Thanks for sharing with us. You can get in touch with Daniel via email danlomas[at]talk21.com

(A tip from Daniel is that you can get spare sewing machine parts and the like for older machines from Helen Howes). He has started off by making these fab totes in order to hone those sewing skills.

He has used a few prints from urbanstax, the Yellow and Pink Highlife print, the Orange and Green Wings print and the newly arrived Citrus Network as well as some other fabulous wax prints.
The colours are so delicious and looks to me like he is off to a flying start. I especially like that the fun doesn’t end with the outside of the bag but the bags are also lined with eye popping wax print too.
