Original one of a kind tie bags

A couple more ties bags completed recently.

The first 3 images are of the nappy bag I made for my sister who's about to give birth to her first child any day now. Nappy bags are made to order only, will have cartoon ties (unless otherwise specified) and retail between $300-$350 as these are larger than the other bags and alot more work and time goes into them. Lining contains pockets to hold bottles and wet wipes etc, these bags can come filled with goodies for baby at an extra cost - please contact me if you are interested in one of these bags tanya@nzartguild.co.nz (please put tie bags in the subject line)
