Sometimes I want a purse to sit on my shoulder.....
Sometimes I want a cross-body style so I can use both hands to grab the goodies.
So as much as I like hardware and little gadgets....
...I wanted to do something different for my line of tote bags and purses to make them adjustable.
So I did.
Instead of a metal slide thingie, I designed a different method to do the PrestO ChangeO.
It's a long strap that slides thru a sturdy loop, and then buttons...twice.
When you want a shoulder bag, unbutton, and slide the strap to the other side and rebutton....tuck the tiny bit of extra strap inside the little loop to hold it in place.
Viola!
or Wa-Laa!
I added a lot of pockets because ....we carry things, duh.
It closes with a small snippet tab and another vintage button.
Another feature I really like is....the wide 2" strap. It won't dig in as you carry things and tends to stay put better than a skinny strap........
And I used all vintage and recycled things....
And....I get to share a lot of my massive vintage button collection too.
Oh yeah, they're reversible.....and machine wash and hang to dry. Easy Peasy!!
This set is made of a road trip fabric and various vintage fabrics and lace....with faux suede and my signature swirly stitches.......
All together...this really makes me happy.
The next set of adjustable bags will be Harris tweed, woolens and lace...and always a few surprises...
Each one is unique...
and cute and sturdy...
