Vintage sewing memorabilia.

Posted in bags, fashion, lifestlye by delacybag on February 6, 2012

Amazing vintage sewing nick knacks. Clockwise from top left.

1/ Beautiful steel tin of dress making pins by D.F. Taylor and Co Ltd with floral print around the top and edges of the tin.

2/ This is my fav me thinks. “Quies” Paris ear plug plastic box, now used as a pin box, with Egyptian hieroglyphics design.

3/ “The new Surmanco hot forged shear, made from Sheffield steel”, Pinking shears – original shears still in box!

4/ Amazing sewing users guide, “Prevent. Frustration. Save. Temper. Trouble. Money.” This came with a “New Home” sewing machine I have been passed down to which is also in immaculate condition and was made close by in Stockport.

These original cast metal domestic machines tend to be the best really as they will last forever as they were all built before plastic was invented so the built quality is second to none.

Anyway that’s your lot for know….

Leather jacket to hobo bag by delacyonline…

Posted in accessories, bags, fashion, leather, lifestlye by delacybag on July 24, 2011

This year I have produced so far four or five up-cycled leather bag’s, thats one a month- fast work, mainly hobo bag’s from vintage leather jackets.

The results are Amazing like being stuck in a maze when you see them. I have seen other examples from other designers, who seem to use major parts of the jacket’s as parts of the bag. I approach it a little differently and completely deconstruct the jacket I have chosen aaarrrhahaha – this is probably one of the best bits, then start to build the bag pattern from that.

By doing this I can then lend more detail to the character of the jacket / bag,  adding straps, zip pockets, plap, plaf,… the only real bits I have used are popper’s, pocket opening’s and maybe the odd interesting seem in the designing’s

Then throw it all together with a bit o Liberty lining and Bob’s your antique tea cup….. a wonderous bagging’s

These bags are turning out to be stunning one of a kind pieces, and there will more to come no doubt …

studded leather clutch bags for spring summer… oo lala

Posted in accessories, bags, fashion, leather, lifestlye by delacybag on April 21, 2010

Studded clutches for spring summer. In the 09 fall i used pyramid studs and chains for the tote / shoulder bags. since then I have found these new smaller studs in brass and high polished steel that are small round and have flat tops which give the bags an amazing medieval / mad max feel which I love about them, each one inspires the next. Thick RIRI zips are seen on the front of the last few sewn which adds another pocket! I love the way the zip functions on the front of the clutches as the detachable wrist strap can attach to the zip pull and add an extra look for the bag as well as both the zip and strap having a function. These have seemed popular so far so i will be creating more in leather and canvas compliment the tote’s i am also creating in the summer range. the clutches can be viewed at my online shop delacyonline.etsy.com
