Crochet Laptop Bag for 16 inch screen - New Design

This is my latest design in Laptop bags. Colour combination is dark gray / black / mustard. This is a very durable bag that is made to last. This bag used 3 meters of suiting fabric that is first cut into strips and then combined with strands of wool and is then crocheted with a chunky crochet hook. This is a carrying bag that is very strong.  

There are two straps on this bag; one is the strap to carry the bag on your shoulder and the second one is the hand strap, for you to carry the bag in your hand for convenience. The later one is also acting as a security lock on the bag, keeping the laptop safely in the bag.

There is something new that I learned in making this bag and that is: how to dress up the button in the fabric so that you can have a perfect fit in colour and pattern for your design. I got this little gadget from Spotlight and I absolutely love it!!! How lucky are we really to have all these things available to us... it is just so me to thank the inventor of this little thingy - I just so appreciate little things like that!

The bag is a perfect fit for a 16 inch laptop!

If it happens that you are a lady, you are a laptop owner and you would like to have a creative and cozy place for your laptop, this is the bag for you.  It can be made in any colour combination to match your clothes... imagination is the only limit here! I hope you like it... If you are browsing my blog and you like this bag or if you have any constructive feedback please let me know... I would love to hear your thoughts!

Let's now put it all together in a nice display...

Back to work... accessorize with style

Well, most of you would have seen my personal bags by now! They are really designed to be useful, unique and possibly as a conversation piece accessory to match your own personal sense of style. So this year, 2012 is going to be all about targeting the several basic colours and developing a 'Sunchi B' range of personal bags as well as laptop bags for the creative modern business woman... more information coming up soon....

This bag came about as a matching accessory to a skirt from the gorgeous 'Thyme 4 T' fashion house that I recently received as a birthday present. 

MATCH CHECK (does this ring a bell?):

* outfit  (tick)

* bag (tick)

* shoes (tick)

So, now my beautiful new skirt has a matching bag... !!!

Have you ever found yourself go for a different style furniture only to find out that your lamp shade does not fit the style anymore... Why not knit the lampshade cover that is a perfect match...

It is just so important to remember to be grateful... :)

What an amazing year of creativity!!! Just tonight I have finished my last creation for the year 2011... it looks amazing. I say this only because it was a free style knitting project and as such, I kept adding and subtracting stitches, changing techniques as I went...  I simply did not imagine this home ware item would look  the way it does now.

Can you guess what this is..?

I am one of those people who get such a kick out of creating new things and developing new ideas and having said this I know that I am not the only one... :)

Additional edging for enhanced effect!

Have you ever had that feeling of giving everyone else credit but yourself for what you have done?

Yes, I am talking about INSPIRATION!!!

Inspiration is a driving force of creation. It keeps us / the world going, but even more so, it plants the seed in the garden of our thoughts and then it is all up to us... Tonight I was knitting, crocheting and stitching , combining all basic techniques and as I was doing so all I could think of is all the people that have inspired me this year to all of whom I am very grateful.

Is it easier to figure out what it is now?

So this post is about reflecting on 2011 and giving my thanks to all wonderful people that I worked with this year with and who have truly inspired me. Here is my little list:

1. my beautiful parents who continue to inspire me every day
2. my aunt Nada and uncle Alan for bringing me to Australia 
3. my hubby and my beautiful children - for alowing me to be who I am
4. my beautiful friend Erika, the owner of Algerika Design - for introducing me to blogging and encouraging me to embrace my creative side
5. my wonderful friend Sandee, the owner of Thyme 4 Tea for just being there to share many of our creative moments
6. Trudi Pollard, the owner of PollardDesigns - for being a fabulous artist and a constant source of energy
7. Trisha Bagott, the owner of Madam Bukeshla, - for opening the doors of her amazing shop to 'Sunchi B' products and being yet another creative force that produces such a unique and superb quality garments
8. Bloggers - this wonderful community of creative people who dedicate their time to share their projects on-line and who continue to inspire me with their talents and professionalism
9. Magazines - designers and every day people who care about comfort and art and who continue to put the two together... (Inside Out, Living Etc, Elle Decoration, Real Living, Country Living... are only several of my favorites, ♥)
10. Finally, remembering that today the Earth kept moving, the Sun kept shining and I had plenty of food    :)

THANK YOU ALL!!!
