Saskia and her family are holiday and summer ready with these colour popping rucksacks.

How funky are these?! The colours, the patterns, the backdrop. Love it. Thank you Saskia so much for sharing your wonderful creations with us.

All the prints Saskia has used in making the bags are printed in Ghana, two she purchased from urbanstax. The Orange and Yellow Nsu Bura and the Brown, Turquoise and Pink Circles.We are loving the summer and holiday makes so please keep them coming!

And a final peek at the rucksacks!

We really do have the best and most interesting customers. Daniel has recently taken up sewing after inheriting an old sewing machine. Check out the beauty below. (A tip from Daniel is that you can get spare sewing machine parts and the like for older machines from Helen Howes). He has started off by making these fab totes in order to hone those sewing skills. You can see more on his flickr account.

He has used a few prints from urbanstax, the Yellow and Pink Highlife print, the Orange and Green Wings print and the newly arrived Citrus Network as well as some other fabulous wax prints.

The colours are so delicious and looks to me like he is off to a flying start. I especially like that the fun doesn’t end with the outside of the bag but the bags are also lined with eye popping wax print too.
