What's Black and White and Red all over????

My newest purse design is Black and White and Red all over!!!
I had a friend call and request a new purse for football season. Her son is going to be playing High School football and their mascot is the Zebra with school colors being red, white, and black. I tried to incorporate football into the design, but wasn't thrilled with my options. Zebra print is very popular right now so that fabric was not hard to find. After much searching and thinking I decided to embrace the zebra print and just make sure the school colors were represented. I added some black beaded fringe to pull everything together. There are a few inside pockets as well as a magnetic snap closure.

I had so much fun sewing this purse and hope it will show lots of school spirit during all the football games this season. GO ZEBRAS!!!!!





I am linking up to a few blogs that I have recently come across and sharing my creations!

Etsy.com

If you haven't heard of Etsy.com yet you must go check it out. It is a great website for handmade items and hard to find vintage items. People from all over are able to set up a "shop" and list thier items for sale. You pay a minimal listing fee, set the price and shipping (if applicable) for each item which lists the item for 4 months or until it sells.

After several friends suggesting I sell my designs on etsy.com I decided to give it a try. Why not? I wanted to have my shop name of RedRoverDesigns, but someone else already had that name (I was totally bummed when I found this out). Well, I could have gone with RRDesigns, but decided to be a little creative and use DoubleRDesigns as my shop name!
