                            The Pleated Everyday Bag in True Blue                                    The Messenger in Cornflower Blue  I've added a few new handbags to the Pesky Cat Designs shop today. Spring is just around the corner so I've made a couple in different shades of blue inspired by thoughts of warmer weather and bright blue skies. Enjoy!

M y Pleated Everyday Bag , posted above, made it to Etsy's front page two days in a row! It was featured yesterday and this past Sunday. Thanks Etsy! And thanks so much Slide Sideways for creating such a gorgeous treasury! Check out Scott and Jacqui's shop for beautiful silk-screened posters, pillows and lots more. As of today my shop is sold out of my Pleated Everyday Bag so I plan on creating more this week. I've been wanting to try some out in corduroy. I think they would look awesome. Yesterday I made a trip to some local fabric stores looking to replenish my stock of corduroy but didn't find anything I liked. Either the quality of the fabric was not quite good enough or the color was not what I was looking for. I was so disappointed. I'm like a kid in a candy shop when I'm in a fabric store so you can image how difficult it was to leave without my candy bar!

M y Pleated Everyday Messenger/Shoulder Bag made it to Etsy's front page today! Thanks Spazzy for including my bag in your lovely treasury! This front page featured ellabellamay, simplytwisted, pilotdesign, vivaphotography, humblebeads, rockentot, peskycatdesigns, econica, peguinandfish, sugarplumetree, amorluxe and plusonedesign. 

I've made some revisions to my Pleated Everyday Bag . It now comes with an adjustable strap that is approximately 26" to 46" end to end. That means you can wear it like a shoulder bag or across the body messenger style! I personally love wearing it like a messenger. It also comes with three interior pockets so it's easier to keep things organized. The seams are all triple stitched and extra reinforced at the stress points, as are all my handbags,  so it's quite sturdy. I added one to the shop yesterday made of cotton twill in a lovely key lime color.  A perfect color to take you into spring. Many new fabrics are now waiting in the Pesky Cat Designs studio to be transformed into lovely bags. Lots of new colors for spring such as key lime green, cornflower blue, burgundy red and more. I'll be adding more of my spring collection of handbags to the shop in the upcoming weeks. 

I've been working on some changes to my designs in the past few weeks. My Pleated Everyday Bag is now available with an adjustable strap. The one above was my first run. In the future they will all have an adjustable strap long enough to wear across your body messenger style or as a shoulder bag . All my Messenger Bags  will also have an adjustable strap. I am working on ways to make my handbags more functional. More pockets and storage ideas are in the works. I am also working on some completely new designs that I will be introducing this spring!
