Elephant Cork Koda Bag

Hi! This elephant cork fabric is the first cork I ever bought, but it took me ages to bring myself to cut into it, it's so beautiful! But I finally decided to use it, and I love this bag! It's the first bag that I've made with 100% cork for the exterior, and I think it works really well. I used sakura blossom fabric for the lining.

Gold Streaked Cork & Japanese Sakura Blossom Koda Bag

Hi! Here's another Koda bag, using some beautiful Japanese fabric I bought a few years ago, and some gorgeous gold-streaked cork! I have such a cork obsession at the moment, and I absolutely love this gold-streaked stuff. It's stunning!

Wizard's Library Koda Bag

Hi! I've made a couple of Koda bags with this gorgeous 'Spellbound' fabric, with black denim and black faux leather. I made this one with brown faux leather, and I love how it turned out. It looks a little less gothy, but the brown faux leather gives it an 'old leather book cover' kind of look.

Clematis Wristlets

Hi! Here's a new pattern I was itching to have a go at, and I love it! These clutch bags are so cute, and fun to make. Here are the first two I made, with Michael Miller fabric and cork. They have an inside slip pocket, and a detachable wristlet strap

Mini Koda Kid Bags

Hi! I wanted to make some small Koda bags for kids, and I found the perfect panel fabric! I've only made 5 so far, but there are lots of panels left, so I want to make some more. I love these fabric design!

They are based on the Koda bag design, but much smaller, and without the zip pocket on the front. They have a plain faux leather back.

Tote Bags

Hi! Here are some tote bags I made a few weeks ago. They are very simple, no lining or boxed corners, to keep them non-bulky and easy to fold up and keep in your bag. I used French seams to hide any raw edges, as they are un-lined.
