My First Totoro Messenger Bags














I had a great customer who ask me to make custom bag for the second time. The first bag I made for her was long hair orange feux fur with smoke gray fabric messenger bag with matching pouch for computer cords. I also had matching orange strips and orange patch. It was a test for me because I never worked with feux fur before. Well, these Totoro bags are my first using felt and sewing on the fabric. I love love love making them. It is such a cute charater and also you can be so much more creative using felt patches. I ended up making multiple different sizes but they are all mini so I will have to make some that fits laptop and books.
