BDU Hero Bag





Fished this customer bag.  She picked out the fabric for the outside and I was able to line it as well.  This is her uniform from 10 years ago when she was in the military.  I have been so busy with holiday sewing, it has been a hectic weekend. 

Brown/Blue Damask Hero Bag

A customer request- she wanted a bag for her mother-in-law.  This bag measures 11" high x 12" wide and has a usable front pocket of 6" x 8". This was ordered through my Etsy site here. Take a look around.

Mother and Daughter Hero Bags

Another customer order purchased from my http://www.sugarplumplace.etsy.com/ shop.  Hero bags are basically made from a military shirt, then the customer picks out the fabric they want and I take it from there to turn it into a bag/diaper bag/tote.

Mother - Daughter Heo Bags

My customer bags are done.  Both front and back pockets of the blue damask bag are usable also several pockets inside.  The little girl bag looks much bigger than it is. 

My mother is visiting from Las Vegas for about four weeks, so my posts may be sporadic.  She is 82 and still gets around pretty good.

Army Hero Bag

The latest "Hero Bag" for a customer.  This bag measures 14 1/4" high by 15" wide by 4" deep.  Her son is in the National Guard.  She asked me to put her son's patches on the inside and out. 

Hero Bag Purple Damask

Another commissioned bag.  The customer wanted a purple damask and this is the closest we got to purple.  I had enough to do the lining also, but not the pockets.  This bag finished at 14" high x 14 1/2" wide x 4" deep.  The pocket on the back is kind of camoflauged, but it's there.

Back to work tomorrow!  

Hero Bag in Black/White/Pink Damask

This person wanted a bag with a 32 ounce water bottle pocket and an pocket for her Ipod.  The pocket for the Ipot was no big deal, but the bottle pocket was.  After much worry for nothing, it came out fine.  I will post a picture of the inside later.  This goes to its owner in Germany where she is stationed. 

Another Hero Bag Finished

I picked up the ABU shirt while I was in Germany visiting my daughter.  We happen to be in the Base Exchange and a woman stopped us and wanted to know where my daughter got her bag.  Later in the week we met and she gave me the shirt to make a bag for her mother.  I hope she likes it, I think it turned out great.  On to the next one.  If you are interested in ordering a "Hero Bag" in ABU, BDU, ACU, DCU please go here and we can custom make an order for you. 

I've been busy this weekend.  I made the "Hero" bag above for my daughter's mother-in-law.  It is a late Mother's Day present.  The other is a Paul Frank "Click and Go" stroller bag.  I hate the fabric, but my daughter ordered off the Internet.  It is of "unknown origin" and feels like a brushed tablecloth or something.  All I know is it really gums up the needle, it doesn't fray as I have washed it; I still don't like it.  I have enough for one more for my Etsy shop and then I'm done.  This one is sold.
